J} is rather in. teresting to watch the woman shopping for a new hat, especially when she has come out with the settled intention of meouring a shape that possesses a brim, It is an nocepted fact that the newest mil- linery is oft the forehead and wide at the side, so that the brimmed Hat appears in less varioty than the one without a brim, With the new colors and the new lines, the shop. per finds It diMcult to wecure the just-right hat for the special cos- tume, and when she finds color and brim to please, it does not, somehow, "click." It is a jarring rote In the ensemble, Lines Are Very Important It is hard to define the quality that exists in the new clothes, The simple lines of the little cloche are not suMclent to carry out the thought that is expressed in the rather Intricate styling of the new. est frocks and coats, Manipula- tion of material is noted In the smartest hats, and so IL happens that the shopper, having tried on both types, the brimmed and brim« loss, ends with an off « the - face model, if for no other reason than its fHitneas to costume, There Is need for a different type of hat for each costume type, and colors, lines and details will differ in every one, Luxury is apparent in the materials used, and the gen oral effoct is one of elegance, Since hats, in many instances, trim thems polves, It 1s quite necessary that the fabric of which they are made be lovely enough to achieve distino- tion, 'The supple materials are in demand, for workability is Impera~ tive, no matter what the type, Fabrics And Colors Combine Probably there are, at the mo- ment, taore felts than other mater- fals, There is a new fabric, known as vis a vis, that ls appropriately named, for it is a light welght stuff that is felt on one side and solell on the other, It works up beau titully, and sometimes It is out In such a fashion that one side alter- nates with the other, One can readily see that many interesting trimming themes can be w ed out with a double-surfaced fabric as the medium, Chenille is used in eombination with both felt and satin, and this is more often the case when the model is. a beret or turban. They are using ribbon, velvet or satin, even sitinebagied velvet, and there are tweoedesarid knit materials for sports, Colors are combined, and it Is smart to trim felt in one shade with felt In another, sometimes only a touch, as a strip woven through the crown or brim, or banding the crown, Beveral shades may be used, The Newest Silhouette The hat that turns up in front, flares at the sides, or Is long In back, may be termed the very lat. ost fashion, There are so many variations and combinations of these three characteristics that it should be possible for nearly every- one to wmelect a becoming one, There is a lot in getting accustomed to this new idea, and It does seem more difMoult to adapt one's self to the new hats than to the new sithouette In dresses, yet the latter in strange, too, Designers are experimenting with the turban, likewise the beret, They can be built on the head, and be raised here, droop there, any- thing at all that Is Individual, There are certain featured slihou- ettes, among them the flremen's hat, the sphynx, and the fisher man's hat, One's knowledge of the hats worn by firemen and fsh- ermen will Immediately suggest the lines that they assumes, and" the headdress of the woman of silence will define the third type, Sports Types Are Smart ns ---- De tails for Three types of hats, the trimmed sports of felt, the extreme off-the-face bonnet in soleil and velvet and the wide flared-at-the-sides model of panne with modified turn-back brim, Accessories shown are black antelope 'bag with marcasite clasp and opera pump of black suede, The necklaces are pearl and cut crystal, baguette rhinestone chain with hematite pendant set in maracite, leather and gold sports choker in modern design, -------------------------- - mo y Accessories are, however, subordl-| nated to the suit, For we look upon the costume as & sult, whether it he made up of The use of tweed Is po gonoral| goparate frock and coat, or was! that it is not strange that it has | purchased as an ensemble In Its broken into millinery, Crocheted fabrics and tricot and many dif | every accessory from hat to shoes, ferent wools are favored for sports use, and it is considered smart to | sivie and the color nd handbag, v0, It will be ink hat with scarf or with one of the seen that the oi sumble theme Is everywhere to be noted, and the minor ensemble remains an impor- tant part of the major ensemble, ousness of the evening mode is expressed in this black . of taffeta po foi ribbon, A short coat of shown with is wolf, It will he the background of | and will determine the fabrie, the It In always safe to mention black, no matter what the subject under discussion, and the nlack hat is a classic There is a falr for this somber hue, at this time, and It must not be Ignored DID YOU EVER TRY P'reshening your velvet frock by hanging it In the bathroom or laundry when there is steam In the making?
