Like the gowns for the coming sea-
son, the hats have that ease of ap-
pearance or we might say careless
ensemble that is so pleasing. This
is secured by the use of soft materials
and graceful arrangement of trim
mings. A most satisfactory feature of
the spring and summer models is the
I diversity of styles, and while the tiny
hat is here to stay, particularly for

hats for more formal occasions will
be seen in greater numbers as the
season advances, The small hat is at

with a spray of numidi or coque' are
selling particularly well with the re-
tail trade. Those of milan and hair,
which materials by the way are
strongest at this time, must necessar-

of the hat. Crowns in these models
are low in most cases; by this is meant

which is rather regular or to the con-
trary rolls away from the face and is
usually about two to two and one
half inches in depth or is made IN
one with the crown and droops over
the face. Facings of crepe and an
tique satin are used effectively in the
development OF the small hats and
add greatly to the exclusive note of
the smarter of these models.
The elongated line is a pronounced
feature of both the large and small
hats and extends almost to a point
in the back This long line is very

tour of the hat this idea is particular
