few weeks ago 1 mentioned that the new full
skirts had brought about something like revolution
in the millinery world This revolution has been in
creased by the introduction of extraordinarily high and
ornate collars.
Some OF these collars high at the back that
they practically hide the hair and make it impossible
for any one to wear hat with ordinarily wide brm.
OF course, all the collars eccentric as
this but it is certainly true that models present
startling outline.
AS the season advances shall witness inter
esting Of hats and collars At the moment it is
difficult say which of the will have to give way
Just little. At least two of influential
dressmakers insisting that the popular S3o-'4o
gowns call for hats of picturesque type-shady hats
with hopby brms and elaborate trimmings of flowers
and ribbds. On the other hand the dressmakers who
come unoer the heading smart" determined to
make specially of elaborate very ornate collars, which
are only possible when small close fitting hats are
worn
II BE WORN WITH HIGH COLLARS
This week saw three of the new small hats which
are considered suitable for wearing with high
neck frs or stifened collars. You will be able to
Judge for yourselves as to the attractive qualities o.
these models.

buttons. The Breton sailor hats having great
uccess at Monte Carlo and Nice. They made in
White satin and in pastel tinted failles and of
he most effective models have trimming except

Another success is indicated in the quaint little hat,
