somed forth and no daughter OF
woman ever born was able to resist
the lure of new spring hat promise
when first it was offered.
II seems to be offered earlier and
earlier every year now. Time was
when nobody thought about spring
hat until midway of March. Then
February became the time. Then
January brought out the spring milli-

year had drawn his dgnifed. last
breath, spring-in the frivolous guiso
Of captivating new straw hats-was
obtrudiug her personality
December did seem a bit early for
spring millinery to be sure; but one
could not discern that women were
any the less eager to examine the new
models for all that. with spring styles
and fall styles making their bow, each
year, a few weeks earlier in the cal
endar, one wonders whether Fashion,
after a bit, will not be i'm the DrcdiCa-
ment of the cXtrayagant woman who
tried to make ends mcet--by and bye
the ends got so far apart that they
threatened to meet on the back
stretch, or will the situation be like
that of the trade magazines which
present the styles being prepared for
a year from now, while the retail
shops and womankind are concerned
with the styles Of now?
At any rate, the spring hats have
been out since the last week in De
CCmber and some of the prcttiest and
most authoritative of the new models
have been selected for your consid-
Grafton and approval today.
Small Are Turbans; Large Arc Sailors.
Some Of the new spring urbans are
so tiny they seem intended for child.
ish heads rather than the heads of
grown women; but that is because the
outer part of the shape is built so close
to the head size; and the head size is
intended to fit rather high around the
head, showing the hair. All hats of
this sort tip forward rather than
backward on the head and are not
tilted rakishly toward the side. They
are intensely chic, but are dignifed
rather than saucy or dashng Tur-
bans are almost invariably Of silk
combined with straw-the soft, flexi-

with bands of glazed EtTaw-a good

going to be used this season If signs
point Alright A turban of this type
is pictured; and along with the band
of glazed straw, set in diagonal rows,
is the new sunrise bow which describes
big semi-circle at the back of the
crown-or, in fact, two semi circles,
one Just behind the other. The sun
rise bow is made of very wide satin
ribbon Of substantial weight, run with
piped cording along one edge and
gathered at the other edge; the gath
ers being drawn toward the center, so
that the folds of the ribbon spread
out toward the circumference in fan
like effect. The picture gives an ex
sellent idea of this smart bow, made
of black satin and arranged behind a
black satin turban having a very mar
row, straight brim. The glazed straw
trimming Is also DldCh' bSC"uoc VI
the straw trimming, this is perfectly
correct spring hat though in the hat
itself. there is not a particle of straw
Sailors and picture shapes are as
large as turbans are tiny. Women
are always most interested. at this
season, in the turbans which present
practical style for immediate street
wear, but some of the wide sailors for
southern wear are very lovely in their
promise of things to be for next sum-
mer. One notes q great deal of rose
IN the larger hats-rose colored straws
In combination with rose colored silk,
and other shapes in old pink, cerise,
American Beauty and coral. 1t looks
as though rose hats were going to
have special favor little later on
