Millinery has attracted most attention, of course, since women especially es-pecially chooso their, headwear first and then select gowns to match. The de-maud de-maud for rather oxpeusivo hats is regarded re-garded as an indication that men are feeling prospenvis. Women appear to liUe eric prevailing styles, according to the milliners.
