Soft Hat Styles.
brief review of the recent
styles will bring a recollection of the
tendency. Last fall—that is a year
ago—crowns had reached their great-
est height—6 3-4 and some 6 12. in
blocks that exaggerated the height——
brims were correspondingly narrow.
That season also'witnessed the hey-
day of the light contrast trimming
and the flowing fancy bows. Drop
tip and pencil curls were supreme;
colors were'green and blue.
This fall crowns'hsve dropped to 5
3-4 and 6. brims have Widened and
have been sold more generally in roll-
ed effects: trimmings have been d'r
contrast, particularly black: bows are
the old-fashioned modest farms;
crease crottns largely superseded the
drop tips and colors have been pearl,
green. greys of the steel variety with
only a sprinkling of blue and brown.
Who will project the evolution into
the future and predict the styles for
next spring? it is not a difficult
and if a dozen competent authorities
should individually record each re-
spective prediction the forecasts
would differ onyr in unimportant de-
tails. ' “ .

To begin with ,thc felt itself, the ex-
treme light weight hats, in the shapes
in which they are being shown and
to which they are partlcuariy adapt-

great factor next spring and they can
be bought liberally with confidence
that they will be a popular seller. 4

The most popular character of hat
will ‘bc in ilattish set brim effects of
all varieties—flare brims that the

Flanged and rolled brims, of the
modified fedora effect of this tall, are

Crowns will be bought so that they

Dimensions.
The crowns will continue to do

than this season—5 1-2 being the fa-
vorite. Brims will be wider than the
curmng3ssaaon,‘hut it is not likely
that this spring the extreme brims of
2 3-5 inches. and even more, will be
worn. Popuar dimensions for young
