BECOMING.

There should be no excuse for a woman selecting an ugly or unbecom- ing hat this season, judging from the variety of attractive advance models on view. The nilIiners seem to nave taken thought for every femin- inc type. There are turbans high and low, daring brimmed, hats. low crowned, broad brimmed hats. mod els turned up at the front, at the back or at the side, pokes and tri- cornes, and among them all any won- an should be able to find the design that particularly suits her, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 There is a. pronounced use of fla brics such as tulIe, Georgette crepe and satin, and in matter of trimmings feathers have taken on amazing forms while flowers are often unconvention- al to the point of perversity. Fruits particularly of the extremely natural variety, are among the trimmings which are looked upon with increas- ing favor, and the more conventional ornaments of ribbons, wings and os- trich tips are always in the back ground.
 Foliage, wheat-ears in various col eors, fringe. cords and tasseIs. en-
 
 and buckles all play their part in the amazing variety of decoration which is used so sparingIy on the individual hat.
 Flowers, which have been long in comparative disuse, are perhaps more Interesting at present than other trimming. They are made of any thing and everything which can be conjured into a flower. the more un- likely the better, and while they of ten make a half-hearted attempt to initiate nature they are frequently blossoms the like of which were never seen in any garden woods or conservatory.
 There are flowers of metal, of beads. of feathers and of straw, and an immense number of flowers in vel vet, silk or ribbon are produced in tints which no natural blossom has yet assumed.
 For instance. a black straw urban is wreathed with small velvet callas in white, gray and black while great turquoise and black satin roses form the full crown of a Turkish turbau. Flat velvet flowers often cover the entire crown of the larger hats vel vet daisies in gray, black, yellow, white or blue being especially high in favor for the purpose.
