new millinery
ON EVERY Side
Color CIGVGFIy introduced in
New Hats

Paris, March 2O.-Of great import
ance just now is spring millinery, foT
with the first hint of sunny day moth
ing looks so passe and out of place as
the ordinary winter headgear made OF
velvet, plush, beaver or felt. Many
things strike one about the new hats.
First, is the their extremely small
proportions, their narrow brims and
the extraordinary fineness of the straw
OF which they are made.
Little Trimming.
The fact that very trimming it
used as a characteristic that must not
be overlooked
Touches of orange color, soft shades
of brown, dull greens and skillfully
introduced touches of black are all
characteristics of the new models but
perhaps the hat of all others that is
most popular at the present moment
belongs to an ultra-smart type that
has the crown covered with glace silk
and shows how becoming a satin lin
ing to the narrow brim can be.
The trimming consists of smart rip-
bon loops tied in the light, somewhat
fyaway manner that is craze in Pa
ris just now. This seems to strike the
happy medium between the heavy
winter millinery of yesterday and
those very light straw hats which are
trife too spring-like for wear at
the present moment.
And it is quite possible to have the
latest effects without the disagreea-
BILE exaggerations some affect.
