MiIadH's Hat This Spring.

NAAAH"| AAAt 4AAR OBAAAh
The Commandments this sea-
son are entirely new. Inexpen-
siveness looms up as q vital con-
sideration, and the problem Of
selecting a Spring hat assumes
4 different aspect. To quote from
an article in the February Good
Housekeeping
AS in previous seasons, the
first dictates of fashion are
small, close-ftting Jurbans Of
satin Some are not unlike ORR
entail headdresses in their con-
formity to the head, while others
feature brims in a fascinating
and wholly new manner. Some
small hats are popular with a
brim turned down over the face
with the effect Of an eyeshade,
probably designed by the French
SO that they might escape by a
turn of the head some of the
horrors of war that surround
them. Many of these LITTLE hats
have the brim rolling upward in
the back, too, so that whatever
way hat brims are blown by the
winds of fashion, the owner OF
such a one is always certain tC
be in style.
