II Is very much to be hoped that we
shall not go too far down the road of
eXaggCration In the AFFAIR OF hats this
season-or. rather. in our manner of
wearing them!
The slight upward tilt, which leaves
the hair above the forehead uncov-
cred, is exceedingly attractive and It
makes a woman look wonderfully
young and unsophisticated. but then
there is a limit and some seem in
clined to go beyond IT, | have fire.
quently had occasion to remark on
the charm of the picture fashions so
much in vogue this summer. and
never, that | can remember. were our
hats more deliciously becoming; but
when the upward tilt is carried to ex-
treme eXaEgeration II borders on the
ridiculous, for the hair at the back of
the head is, practically. covered, and
the impression conveyed is that some
rude person has caught the hat and
deliberately pulled it back from the
face. jamming II down on the back
of the head at the same time.
When a cloche hat is in question
lld this season the cloche may be
said to be ublquitous-the perfect
manner of wearing IT is absolutely
straight on the head-that is to say,
neither raised at the back nor at the
'front.'. 1t may be coquettishly tilted to
one side, just a trihe, with the best

rest right on the hair and to mingle
with It! At the beginning of the sea
son the cloche and mushroom hats
sent out from the best millinery ate
licrs were OF considerable size but
hose of the present moment are not
in the least exaggerated in outline.
The full crown, of point d'esprit, or
embroidered tulle, is rather high and
important looking, and for that reason
the dropping brim does not attract un-
due attention. An amazing number
of large wings are used in the TRIM
ming of toques for morning wear, and
the Coz de roche Is to be seen on
nearly all the best models. Tuscan
hats in cloche form are very charm
ing when trimmed with fringed
scarf of ivory gauze and with a num-
Der of pale grey and white wings, the
rich yellow of the straw harmonizing
delightfully."- with all shades of grey,
but it is especially effective when
combined with pale pearl tints
Tuscan hats continue TO reign su-
preme, but crinoline straw is also
in great favor, and there Is a new
mako of chip, which looks aovely
when combined with straw-colored
point d'esprit. This chip is coarser
than the chip of last year, and for
that reason IL Is rather more effective.

fully festive when worn with lace and
muslin frocks, but, OF course. they are
entirely out OF place on a hat which Is
intended to accompany tailor made.
