FUR HATS ARE THE
SEASONS FAVORlTES

| \ fur hat, or a hat with fur trimming
| is regarded S necessary to smart ward
| robe this winter.
In such millinery one sees only two
shapes or their notifications. and they
are either large, with wide brims, or
| quite small, on the toque order. Both
| may safely be counted on as desirable,
but when of black lynx it is well to con-
| slider the model carefully, lest it be unbe-
coming.
| takes a woman with much color to wear
| ii successfully. One who is pale Will be
given an old and i'll look by its density,
unless the arrangement is such as to re-
| lieve the weight This is sometimes ac-
! conplished by choosing 4 large shape,
| with wide. velvet brim. Then if the
| crown is made OF lynx it is removed en-
| iirely from the face. while it gives the
| effect OF fur hat. Such a creation may
! be trimmed with a. big flat chou in bright
| white or a color. Plumes are too heav!
| for such combination. and quilts are
hardly sufficiently dressy.
Stiff Feathers for Toques
| Narrow. stiff feathers are correct for
the small shapes in lynx and very
bright and effective result Is gained with
be tackled at the left side of the front, a
knot of velvet finishing The decora ton.
In this style. with two auiiis shaded
gray and pink, Tie velvet used being
rose pink. WAS an effective hat shown
recently in shop.
More suitable for an older woman was
another lynx toque which rolled back
from the face in rather an exaggera ted
fashion. 1t was laid fiat against the
brlm in large bowhnot done in silver
tinsel. tightly twisted. 10 make "a mar
row roll. This was placed at the base
of large and very stiff cream aigrette
that shot out at an angle of 90 degrees
from the side. 1t was really a very
serviceable model for cold and windy
days.
All fur hats. be it understood. match
the set worn with them. and for this
reason lynx predominateS now.
This pelt is so infinitely preferable TO
any other for mourning and is so gener-
ally worn by miGdle-aged women. re-
CARELESS of mourning. that it reigns as
favorite for millinery purposes.
White Fox Worn by Girls
AS white fox is pre-eminently the
dress fur for girls and young women. one
sees it employed on hats with particu-
larry charming effect. Recently | saw.
a lovely white velvet creation, the brm
cled a white fox. the head brought To
the front at the left. the tail hanging
down TO the right of the back. The mut1
and stole with which it was worn were
also decorated with heads and tails.
None but a really young woman should
wear white fur close to the face. TO any
but fresh face it is even more trying
in contrast than black lynx.
Next to these two furS chinUhilia is
desirable. and because of the warmth

greater variety of trea; ment. Every

worked out in its gray tones, and tips
OF black with ii are charming.
Ermine is not becoming. though il is
used when a woman has d set. But in
surn cases the fur on the hat is sibordi-
mated 10 other trimmings. showing mere

Is slightly less trying than ermine but
1t should be used with great discretion
in millinery. and needs the introduction

velvet is excellent with mink.
