Salesmen to the retail trade who

> report an excellent business and the
consensus of their reports shows that
flat soft effects, not too flat. are to be
the proper "styles for the coming sea-
son. They also show that smaller shu-
pes are to prevail, in fact. some of the
staterooms made by prominent manu~
facturers and others would almost
lead‘one to believe that the properly
named "ilinky" shapes are to secure
a large share of the pairOnuge of the
hat ‘Wearlng public this coming sea
son. Such small dimensions as 5%
crowns with 1% or 175‘.- brims. or 3%
crowns with ill. or 2-inch brlms are
spoken of as the best sellers. whilc
‘, one manufacturer reports that in Pitts.
burg where radical shapes are qulc
generally worn each year. one bill of
hats, was sold which contained :im-
oug other items a goodly number of
stiff hate 5 inches deep.
It’ls only natural that with the small
dimensions should come light curls.
and it fs'generally conceded that a V..-
inch adapted or a round D'Orsay is
best adapted for spring dimensions.
The crowns of the spring stiff hats
will be medium full.
To write of colors in stiff hats is
really to mention something that hard
Iy cuts to exist. Blacks only are
sell g and though many batters would
like to see the lighter shades go. the
trade evidences no pronounced desire
\ to purchase them.
Spring Soft Hats.
'Among soft halls for the spring of
1907. the telescope. is indeed king:
either large or small dimensioned hats
have been most. generally purchased.
Many telescopes In the higher grade
have been bought with unbound brim
edges. but the trade that uses popular
priced goods still adheres to the bound
edges; the fact that the better trade is
turning toward raw edge hats is ta-
ken as a tip on the opinion of many of
the best buyers.
Straw Hats.
Manufacturers of straw hats to the
retail trade have generally withdrawn
their sample line and are taking few
if any orders except. for very late
spring or early summer delivery.
Probably never before in the history
of the straw hat business has such a
record trade been done. and, as intI‘
mated in previous utterances in this
cglumn. it is doubtful whether all the
e nw hats that have been bought this
season will be delivered.
The principal business has been
done on split yacht huts and soft brim
Mocklunws and Milans. but It is al-
niost certain that. many of the trade.
will' be compelled to take up seunitu
even if only to a limited extent in or-
der to secure goods and prevent the
loss of males.
Manufacturers for the case trade
have experienced great difficulty in
getting course-sud split. braid that en-
