 How did he get the path broken out?" I asked.

JAUNTINESS IN
SPRING HATS
Advanced Styles In Millinery Will
Be in Vogue

Jauntiness is the characteristic of
The new hats, imparting itself even Ia
the classical Rembrandt, Gainsborough
ana Fragonard shapes, all OF which
promise To come in for their share OF
popularity next spring, according To
the illustrated Miliner This jaunty
note. which, by the way, greatly adds
To the chic Of every type of hat, chief
~ by the newest tip-tilted adjustment
81 the hat, for which there is a decid-
Ell lad. While the crowns have chang
cd very little, il any, in aspect (he
peretta crown still being undisputed
iaNorite) the brims have diminished
IA width at the right side, and the de-
crease I'm width was added to the
LETT side, which has suddenly assum-
ed considerably larger dimensions,
forming broad revers. which at a dar-
ing angle rise high above the crown.
The new high couture Is said TO have
heen responsible for the new silhouet-
lie, also for the continued vogue for
collapsible hat crowns, for il would
be practically impossible Ia adjust u
nat with one of the old-time rigid
crowns to the modern couture and
still more difficult To keep II in the
correct position. The tip-tilted hat,
as smart as il Is, ana as much as il
accentuates the charm of some phy-
siognomies, it shares the one serious
drawback with the high couture that
is not generally becoming. When not
properly poised at just the correct an
gle. the narrow and extremely high
hat. extremely low on one side and
raised high on the other, may result
N producing Il silhouette which is
anything but beautiful II may be
improved, however, by the recently in
of ear curls. which are splendid for
throwing soft shadows over a face that
no longer possesses the charm of youth.
Toques abnormally high on one side
ana fiat on the other. are shown i'm
great variety. In these the brim is
cfttimes evenly wide throughout the
high effect being produced by a wide
rleating of ribbon, piece silk, maline
or velvet.
No decrease is noticed in the popu-
larity OF baretta styles; the latest de-
signs are adapted to meet the new de-
mand for height by having soft folds
of their drapery pulled high at one side
and supported at this point by fine
wire. The bandeau, which may be
either circular or else extend over only
one side generally the lefD is char
acteristic feature of many OF these be.
retta shapes.
4 very new and rather eccentric
variation on the barettas is formed by
n close fitting caplke toque encircled
by twisted drape of wide ribbon. \
large plateau of velvet or straw is
posed slantwise across the toque. pro-
{ dcing an exceedingly unique silhou
cite.
The new tricorne shapes are eX-
trcmely effective i'm their smart. ire
gular contours. They are al more OF
less on to the toque order, and are oft
times completed by crowns, which, like
the brims, are triangular in outline. In
this instance the crown is only coli
lapsible at the top. the side being
