The newest hats have curving contours that give at tention-value and effectively head line slim costumes. Leading de signers and manufacturers call thesg curve-conscious hats "bounti ful" silhouettes. The hat of inflated outline, whether mild or mammoth In size, achieves its "bountiful" look in two ways. It may be a toque?all crown, puffed up over the merest sliver of a brim or no brim at all. Or, it may be a hat with a brimful of curves?a deep bell cloche or a widespread brim with a bold flange turned up or down or cushioned for a look of volume. Pillboxes Grow Larrer On the other hand, milliners have not forgotten the woman is reluctant to wear a very big hat. For her, there are charming small toques that are simply pillboxes grown larger, higher in the crown, curved at the edges and fitted more securely on the brow. Small tambourine silhouettes are also easy to wear. The shallow shell becomes a cushioned bonnet, its prow brim reaching forward to shade the brow. Small sailors with larger-than headsize crowns are another choice. While most brimmed hats are posed level across the top of the head, the deep, downward curve of their brims makes them seem to be pushed forward. Smaller, pot-shapfd toques are often tilted down almost to the eyebrows. FAVORED FOR SPRING Spring favorites in subteen sportswear are slim, high-walsted cotton poplin trousers with- sus pender straps, matched with eyelet front cotton blouse. SHORTEN SKIRTS Without " fanfare, skirts have been made slightly shorter. Just below the knee lengths appear in the spring collections of some de signers.
