The Tendency Toward Brfm..
but in spite OF all this, there does
seem to be some analogy at the pres
mt time between the bouffant skin .
and the wide-brimmed hat. Those
makers or Women's clothes who de-
light in selling gown to go with
every hat have made a point of hav-
ne foppy. wide-brimmed hats to 60
with the summary frocks built with
full petticoats after the style Of the
Empress Eugene.
Undoubtedly there is tendency to
get away from the close-fitting toque.
1t was a type Of hat that it took US
some time to adopt and apparently it
is taking us even longer to give il up.
However there seems to be a strong
feeling. for brims this season. though
there is no uniformity in the lines
that these brins assume.
To get around the feeling for brims
and the fondnesS that we feel for the
brimless toque. the milliners have
produced some little hats that give
the effect of a brim merely by the
clever placing of an ornament or
trimming.
Lnce-Brimmed TOques.
There are black hats with crowns of
Opaque straw or silk and fairly wide
brims of finely plated black lace
placed on a transparent wire frame
They are like those advertisement
signs that read one waw as :ou ap-
proach them and another as you stand
directly in front of th.:m. One way
you look at these black hats they give
the lines Of small toquc. merely
with d shadow of black lace cast
about it. Approach them with the
light in another direction and you
get the lines Of wide brimmed
black hat.
A little toque that has called for
much favorable comment gives an
effect of brimm edness in the profile by
the placing of jet quill under the
brim, that comes out straight at right
angles with the line of the nose and
curves gracefully upward al the back.
Shown in the sketch this model was
reproduced in caster faille with a
straw ornament at the front in addi-
ton to the jet quill under the brim.

Brinhess Hats and

BY ANNE RI1.rENHOUsE.

Some one with a taste for applying
principles of design with considerable
literalness to the subject Of women's
dress tiled to show us not long ago
that the matter of width or height of
hats all depends on the breadth or
length of ones petticoats. If you
wore extremely wide skirts. built out
over hoops or fardingales or simply

were in danger of appearing dispro-
