THE NEW SPRING HATS ARE OUT
The Aeroplane Shape for 1913-Soft Straws
In Combination with Fabrics Much Use of

ming.

Hat secrets are out now. Paris has
sent over authoritative style express
sions of those milliners whose word
is law, and the Southland hats are
blossoming on every hand. ready Tor
the picking.
The striking note of the spring hat
seems to be elongation. This note IS
reiterated in varying millinery themes,
and though large hats for mid-sum-
mer wear have not as yet appeared
on the horizon, the chic first models
emphasize this idea of elongation-
that is, long lines from front to back;
and the effect is augmented by the
sweep of the trimmings, the close
fit of the low crown over the head,
.hernarrow roll of the brim at the
side. and the arrangement OF the COLI
fure.
These elongated hats, as expressed
by Paris, are called aeropiane Shapes,
and a freakish whim of the French
milliner is to pose feather, or bow
of long ribbon loops directly at the
back. to suggest the aeroplane's pro-
peIfer Virot and Marie Crozet favor

ELONGATED HATS SMART BUT
UNCOMFORTABLE.

Backaches will be the inevitable re-
suit of the hats with brims and trim
mings shooting out toward the back,
for it is impossible to lean back against
high chair-seat in such a chapeau,
and in trolley cars and subway trains,
where the seats run along the sides,
one will have to perch on the edge of
the seat, if not lean little forward, to
keep ones headgear from hitting the
glass of the window behind; and tho
woman who travels in a drawing-room
car will have to remove her hat
against all the canons of good form
perched on the edge of her luxurious
chair.
Picot ribbon in long loops, shooting
out from the back or side of the crown,
is also used to give this long-from-
front-to-back effect; and some of the
ribbon trimmed hats are very attractive
as we'll as quite modestly priced. A

claim to spring newness and readiness.
dainty straw toque, worn at a re-
cent wedding important in high society
circles, was OF prune color, with plcat-

circling the crown. There were two
pleatings below and two above a mar
row band of prune-colored velvet rib
bon, and at the front knot of the vel
vet seemed to hold the base of tall
fan of the pleated malines which rose
some inches above the hat. This hat
accompanied wonderfully draped gown
of prune-colored satin brocade and lans-
downe in the same shade; the silk and
worsted lansdowne forming an under
drapery beneath the brocadc which was
lifted toward the front at the knee, re-
vealing the swathed 1ansdowne skirt
slashed at the centre front--or rather
draped in such manner that the dain-
tily booted foot showed at intervals.
Patent leather boots with buttoned tops
of prune-colored cloth matched the
prune gown and hat. and the only
strongly contrasting color note was in
a deep, red velvet rose at the girdle

With all this excited talk of the

seemingly to stay and take possession
of the millinery field for the season,
there is sure to be the question,

season. Of course all those that we
can describe now have departed long
since to the South, or are departing
very rapidly-leaving only prophesy
behind
One of these early south-going
models was wide, round Panama
with brim that waved into graceful
and individual curves Filmy black
malines covered the brim and made a

bouquets of forget and pink
roses nesting at the base of the

A MELON CROWN OF TULLE
OVER A SATIN HAT.

Airy black tulle is millinery within
of the between-season time, and these
black tulle hats are precursors OF the
spring, for it is said that much tulle
and malines will be used this year. The
hat pictured is a small black satin mod
ell with large wired melon crown made
of two layers of black malines over
the lower crown of black satin. Wide
loops of the doubled malines nestle
against the malines crown at one side
and give softness of outline to the hat
which accompanies new lingerie frock
of cotton wolfe, zigzag cloth and fine
machine embroidery.

been bought by travellers bound for the

THE INDIAN NEEDLE ORNA-
MENT.
As typical a spring feature as the
elongated brim, is the front ornament
sticking straight up over the forehead
This is an Oriental style feature, part of
the strong Oriental vogue this season,
and the pert "stick-ups" of pleated rib
bon, of fancy feathers and of wired
velvet, are all adaptations of the In
dian needle ornament of the far East
Some of the smart little black tulle
toqucs which one sees these days on
Fifth Avenue, have actual needles" or
spikes of jet which rise sharply upward
at the front of the hat. These airy
black toques are an advance messen-
ger of the Easter nat and satisfy the
restless fancy of those women who
must have something new in the way of
headgear the moment, Christmas season
IS over.
Some of these saucy little black hats
are entirely of malines which is shirred
at the edge to form a narrow brim to
frame the face. Others are banded
with jet-embroidercd net; still others
have soft brims of velvet. But always
there is the pulled black malines crown
and the pert, outstanding ornament at
the front; the soft cap of tulle being
set a trihe back on the head so that the
outstanding front ornament slopes
slightly backward. Malines is prom
ised strong popularity with the arrival
of midsummer hats for wear with lin
gerie- frocks of embroidery and lace, but
the early tailored models are more like
ly to be trimmed with something stiff
fer and more substantial than the per-
ishable tulle stuff.
COMBINATION OF STRAW AND
FABRIC.
The a1l-straw hat is as rare these
days as the -all-one-color gown. Milan,
always a distinguished straw when OF
fine quality, will be rare indeed this sea-
son, and as expensive as genuine pana-
!. ma, because of the Turkish war in

founced way, but of allover stuff, put

a mere touch of black ribbon in

The fore-and-aft style OF trimming
has by no means departed from fash

Riviera hat of purple straw which has
an embroidered ornament on the front
of the crown, and peculiar bow of rib

to win instant approval from the mem

of black hemp above a rolling brim of

fibre feathers and bow of white picot
