The small hat which has been in greatest favor since late
Autumn is forecasted to be the style for the Spring of 1913.
They are jaunty in appearance, graceful of line and made of
light, pliable straws, soft malines and sill(s.
The one illustrated today has a crown of white maline
laid in lengthwise folds. The brim, of black hand-made
braid, fits closely to the hea'd, and on each is a wing of
black velvet edged with the folds of maline.
Another note of the new Spring millinery is the lavish em
ployment of small flowers in the most beautiful colors imag
inable, and these floral sprays 'and bunches, combined with
the maline'sarul'silk, make the most charming hats that can
be had for Southern wear.

being the self-adjusting curve of the back, vhich gracefully curves
with the figure, whether standing or sitting. .
These corsets come in suede, fine batiste, and broche.
