An extremely plain hat Is not
always a chapeau of simplicity. Very
frequently 1t is the most daring style
Imaginable. This is because plain
hat generally must depend upon a
striking color combination or an un-
usual shape for its chic-and this
sometimes accentuates its severeness.

because some plain hats are very
often the most stylish. writes Marion
Morris in the Chicago Inter-Ocean.

In the new millinery that Paris has
created for this season,
The bicorne is considered the most

In Paris at present, l should not be
surprised If it becomes the craze by
the eEd of the season. 1t will then
be the most common hat, as 1t will
be copied in cheap straws and every
body will be wearing it-regardless
whether 1t is morning or afternoon.
Bonnet Hat Just Now.
However, l may be mistaken, be-
cause at the present time the helmet

millinery. 1t is scarcely worth while
to talk about this hat, because l

Choice Of Many Shapes.
While this is recognized as "the"
tailored hat of the season, there are
other shapes that are smart and more
becoming to some women-as not
every woman can wear a bicorne
whether it is the style or not. All
Of these tailored shapes are small
and close-fitting. Nearly all have
very high, sloping crowns and narrow
turned brims that are so small that
1t is difficult to determine whether
they are brims.
Black and white is the basis of
nearly all these tailored hats Some
Of the shapes have white crowns and
narrow black brims, others are of
white and faced or bound in black
velvet. Standing bows of wide and
dashing ribbons are favorite trim
mings for these chapeaux. One of
the most charming hats that l have
seen is a high-crowned shape of white
Milan, bound with black velvet with
a standing bow of wide striped black
and-white ribbon. In a word picture
it may seem extreme but the hat is
not half as daring as one may imag-

Sailor hats undoubtedly will enjoy
a vogue again, because they have
been created in new and not such
severe shapes. Some have high
crowns and narrow rolled brims-all
one color, or with a white crown and
colored brim. For athletic women
