MILLINERY NOTES.

y. The hat styles in general'this year -are variations of the cloche. But it is the cloche with a" new twist. The crown is still rounded,'.fitted in fact to the, curves of the'wearer's head, and; so deep that it covers the head from eyebrows to nape, letting no- hair, show except the fluffy little wisps which should appear in front if .the ears. The hat it* put od straight, so that 'it covers :. each eyebrow equally, for the rakish one-sided effect is not well. thought of among the leaders of. fashion. However, there are a great many cloches to be seen in the best millinery establishments • that have , a spreading brim rolling up on one side and down on the other. By this you will y deduce that there Is a movement "toward Jess sloping brims, and your deduction will be quite correct. The most pronounced change in the cloche lies in this point. Its . brim may vary in width, but : it flares out- from the face, and even 1 goes so far, sometimes, as to roll a bit • upward. ' . Of course, there are wide hats to be found in the milliner's salons, but these are designed, almost exclusively for wear with the afternon gowns which are now anpearing in crepe, pleated in tiers, cr draned, or in satin made gorgeous with coloured embroidery.
