Perhaps the most striking thing
about this winters hats is their SOM
! breness. Not that the sombreness is
! oppressive at all. And if one could
1 forget the vivid cOloring of last year S
hats. the multi-cOlOTed roses and the
I viOlets punched side by side, this win
ter's hath might be designated even as
bright hats.
There are plenty of pretty bright
/ cOlOvs used, but the tendency is TO har-
monte. rather than contrast colors.
For instance, when bright yellow is
used on a hat it is toned dOwnby a
/ darker shade. finally arriving at burnt
/ orange and dark brown.
Pale lilacs are carried down into deep
I shades of dahlia, which is the fayorite
J of this winters cOlOrS. And exquisite
results follow the tOning of green.
But ones eye must be educated up to
the task of toning colOrs. A yellow
/ green introduced among blue green's;
| q yellow SayOring too much of garnet,
mixed among flame yellows, will throw
the harmony right out and create
| laughable discords.
HIGH CROWNS RECEIVED.
Another distinctive feature of this
I winters hats is the revival of high
| crowns. All of the big felt hats nave
high rather pointed crowns, or csc
crowns that are a bit bigger at the top
than the base
OF course, feathers, plumes and tips
play an important role in this winters
headgear for use in the brOad-brimmed
high-crOwned hats fashion has favor
ed. And there is always an air of in
completeness about a big hat that is
minus feathers.
Women who affect picture hats have
cause 10 rejoice this winter, for not on
ly are the hats big and fluffy with
feathers, but they are for the most part
built of velvet. and velvet is so in
variably becoming to all sorts and types
of faces.
Tt is even permissible to wear a small
velvet hat with a tailor-made gown,
/ if iJ is made smart and trimmed with
quilts and COque plumes But those of
/ the gentler sex that care more for the
/ eternal fitness of things insist on wear
| ing "AmaZOns" with tailor made
/ gowns. Some wear the AmaZOns in
/ true masculine fashion, with a simple
/ broad band as the only trimming; but
q fayOrite trimming for these hats is a
broad velvet band with a cock plume
I placed entire at the left side of the
| crown.
YELLOW A FAVORITE.
They say that yellow has been IA
vOred here this year on account of its
being the color of the Russians. And
the flowers that one sees most in con-
sequence are the nasturtians and mar
igOlds in all their gorgeOusness on
/ winter hats.
Yellow is always considered the es-
| pecial color for bringing out the good
qualities of brunettes. Yet the other
/ day. while at a smart modiste's, saw
/ a stunning looking rosy brunette chose
/ a winters hat prOfusely trimmed in
nasturitans, and the effect Of the vel
/ low on her rOsiness was deplorable,
for it brought out all the purpleness Of
1 her complexion.
Brunettes with clear, cOlorless skins
can wear all Of the shades of yellow
/ 10 advantage. from pale gold to deep
| flame yellows, and have recently seen
some blondes who looked ravishing in
/ toilettes that boosted a great deal Of
pale gold
One dressy hat is made entirely Of
pale. almOnd-green velvet. The brim
| is a bit wider at the front than the
/ back. and the crown is beretta. A row
of dahlias in pale gold and deep wine
color follow the base of the crown, and
at the back there are bows of gold taf-
feta ribbon
A big black velvet hat that has high
pointed crown and a broad brim bent
i'm an directions boasts not an atom of
color. Three rows of straw encircle the
crown. and at the left side quantities of
tips and plumes are punched high and
loose. At the right side a smaller
bunch of black tips lies low at the base
of the crown.
Hats made of satin and velvet braid
are quite new. or even plain braided
1 felt is sometimes employed in making
small dressy hats.
A dressy little hat made of sage green
I braided felt has rather a low crown and
narrow brim turned directly up at the
/ back. The brim was faced with sage
/ green velvet. wiki q small piping OF
! orange velvet around the edge. Twists
| of orange and green velvet went around
the crown. and punches Of nasturi,ans
/ shading from pale gold TO deep flame
/ trimmed this hat az the back.
Another small stree, ha, was a round
hat with rather a high crown and q
. brm ha- was three inches wide and
/ .urued up a- the edge. From the top
/ of the crown to- the edge OF the brim IL
was draped i'm velye,. The folds a. the
ton of the crown were of the lightest
/ shades of green. and they shaded down
/ into the darkest TINS A. the back Of
/ the crown were perched the plumes and
/ head of a bird Of Paradise.
Theatre bOnne,s are built rather on
itla lines Of q Dutch bonnet. only there
is always a tiny crown built up Of vel
We. or some other soft material They
I are generally three inches high and al
/ most lUiicrOuS i'm their tininess.
THEATRE BONNETs.
One Of the new theatre bonnstS is
bulk of deep cream mirror velvet. There
is tiny crown Of the cream velvet.
/ covered with pattern in s-ed pearls.

/ inches at the most. ChouH of cream
