Show SPUING MILLINERY AS SHOWN IN THE METROPOLIS. Like tho gowns for the coming sea-' son, the hats have that oase of ap- j .: pearance or wo might say caroless "ensemble," that is so pleasing. This, is secured by tho uso of soft materials!, and graceful arrangement of trim mings. A most satisfactory feature, of the spring and summer models is the diversity of stylos, and while the tiny hat is her" to stay, particularly, for tailorod use, tho medium and large, hats for more formal occasions will bo seon in greater numbers as tho sea son advances. The small hat is at present thr" most dominant noto of spring fashions, and fo immediate use thoso developed of satin nnd trimmed with a spray of numidi or coque are selling particularly well with tho retail trade. Those of milan and hair, which matorials by tho way are strongest at this time, must necessarily neces-sarily be soft and flexible enough to almost admit of packing thorn in a suit caso. Not a few may bo crushed together without detriment to the shape of the hat. Crowns in these models are low in most cases; by this is meant the extremely small hats, as the brim, which is rather regular or to tho contrary rolls away from the face and is usually about ,two or two and one-half Inches in depth or is made in one with tho crown and droops over the face. Facings of crepe and antique satin are used effectively ef-fectively in the development of the small hats and add greatly to ,the exclusive ex-clusive noto of tho smarter of these models. The elongated lino is a pronounced feature of both the large and small hat and extends almost to a point in the bock. This long lino is vory of-iective, of-iective, and when tho trimming is placed on a line with tho general contour con-tour of the hat this idoa is particularly partic-ularly pleasing. For Instance, a type that promises to bo vory woll received re-ceived is that from Mme. Georgette, und contrary to hor usual custom, is vory tiny. This hat is a small, low-crowned low-crowned black mllnnf having a slightly rollod narrow brim showing the oiongated lino and fncod with Labrador Labra-dor blue velvet. A band of ostrich in tho Labrador bluo shades is placed around tho crown and finishos at the back with a cockcomb shaped ostrich fancy which is placed directly at the same angle as tho line of the hat. Tho new sailors also show the oiongated line of which many have tho medium low gowns and straight brim. This sailor rolls slghtly from tho face and gives good promlso of popularity in later use.
