' The question m constantly asked as to wh.it is the correct style, but no definite answer bus been or can be made with so many absolutely different stlcs as fashion has this jcar acknowledged There arc absurdities, gross caricatures, and strange mingling of colors and materials, ma-terials, but anion tht multitude stand out many that arc most charming and very smart. The medium si7e of most of the bats is a boon lo the travclliug public, who have found nothing to admire in the esaggeratod sizes and pbapes, and the medium size is by far the most popular. The large hats must not be counted us out of fashion, for there arc many .of in inense size for -what might be called "dress hats." Attractive Draped Hats. Draped hats of fancy braid and crin in turban and toque shape are fashionable. fashion-able. These, when becoming, arc extremely ex-tremely smart; they are. worn well down over thehead, but not entirely covcrmg the Jinir; in fact, although the si7C is far too iarge for the average head, a bandeau of velvet Is generally put in to lift the hat a little from the hair. There are different trimmings, but the willow plunges or tbc bunch of soft ostrich tips arc the most popular. This style of hatw to be seen in black nnd all colors: one charming model is in ecru in a sand color, with the feathers cerise or green. The medium and small black hats in crin or fine straw in this turban or toque shape are popular this season, as are also the small but rather stiffcr models, also trimmed with the w il-low il-low feathers or -with the clusters of small ostrich tips, and are considered suitable with almost any gown. Colored Straw Hats. Colored straw hats are more fashionable fashion-able than ever this ear, and all shadeB of straw- (often tho straw Is 'dyed to match the gown) are to be seen. There are many shades of pink, deep rose pink, ccrieo and a brighter red, then green in every known and many fortunately unknown un-known shades. The Empire, or Jqsephine i green, is the smartest, but not always the inost becoming, while" the different grajs md tans are endless in their variety And i the weaves of straw braid are as many ! in number as the shades of color.

For the moment the. black velvet facing I is the smartest and Is to bi seen in all slzei and shapes that turn off tbc face, j i Ostrich feathers would seem"' to have taken a new lease of life and are more fashionable than over. In thii nge of luxury and extravagance the plain colors are nbl handsome enough apparently, so diftercnt colors are combined and different differ-ent shades of, color quite transform them. The expensive shaded feathers are the most beautiful and effective. Kull, soft and graceful they arc, placed on the hats at different angles so that they shall be the most becoming to the individual wearer. High effects arc very smart this season and one very high feather is placed at the bick, side or front, as is most effective. Shaded Ostrich Plumes. A medium sized hat with wide brim, an ostrich feather encircling the crown nnd one poised high at the back, Is one of the most popular of th.0 more elaborato styles, and is made in black, cerise and, yellow the latter with the feather shod- lng into orange. Colored feathers shaded shad-ed effects on largo black hats are also very popular, and when expense i noti considered there can be several of the most costly feathers on one bat. Pale gray with black Is another favorite combination, com-bination, and one mo.it charming hat of fine black straw in cockade shape has the brim caught back and over the brim fulls a pale gray ostrich feather. Gray ostrich feathers' are also used on the dark'blue straw; hat, but this is a combin-Wion that must be carefully studied, for tlierc- are certain shndoa of both gray .jnd hnie that' arc not effective combined, a pale blue! with the dark blue straw bcin smarter Ah is always the cat,e with color con trust, it is Miser not to attempt too Blue Straw Hat with Gray Feathers. m Photo Copyright. 1011, by neutlinccr.

Few .if any of the hats are made to be placed straight on the head thpy (urp up at the back and the side or in front, and eveu the close cap shape shows much more of the hair than did the winter stjles. The large hats arc all made to frame the face. And this Is accomplished by the way in which the hat Is placod ou the head. The- hair drawn down over the ears, completely hiding thcni, still con-1 jtinues to be fashionable, and when the, Ibrlm is turned back at the side this fashion fash-ion is displayed to the fullest extent. It 'Is a difficult style for most faces, but it is tho fashion of the moment aud hqs therefore there-fore to be dealt with, especially as the hats have been designed for this style of hairdrossing. But the fashion can bo modified and randt becoming far more becoming that when it is exaggerated. For Tailored Costumes. HatK tct"wear with tailored gowns ore v cry smart, trim .ind neat. Trimmed, with ! spff 1kws of straw, velve'l or satin, qnlll or vvinga liiodifmi sire of fancy straw with brim faced with velvet they arc universally becoming.
