Few Nailliners Favor Low Crowned
Hats.
In contrast to the towering hats,
loaded with waving plumes there are
a few low crowned models from mil
liners authoritative enough to be de-
pended on as certain style makers; for
these miIliners have a following who
wear their creations no matter what
other artists may dictate. One of these
authorities is Poiret, who makes up
what he chooses in the sartorial line,
sure that it will be worn and ac-
cepted because Poiret is indisputably
the fashion. Poiret is a dressmaker,
not a milliner, but some smart milli-
merry models are always displayed
along with the interesting frocks and
wraps which he turns out. Accom-
panying a trailing, clinging gown of
taupe gray satin trimmed with quanti-
ties of small gun metal buttons set in
rows. like beads, was a broad brimmed
taupe gray satin hat, rolling up the
least bit at the sides, and this hat had

shaded taupe-to-cream split ostrich
feather trailed from the center of the
front over this low crown and hung
down at the back. A gun metal
buckle. laid over a fold of taupe col
ored velvet held the plume to the
front of the brim. 1t was the dash
and grace of line that made this sim
pie hat distinguished.

Dainty Hats Matched BY Muf and
ReticuIe.
Almost every Paris milliner has
brought out some novelty in the way
of matching hat, muff and bag, which
is duplicated in different colors and
materials but which in special style
is distinctively that particular milli-
ner's own-and woe be to the house
which dares to copy the specially of
fall is more strikingly handsome than
that of the NTaison Maurice which in
cludes wonderfully convenient reti-
cule with hosts of fascinating pockets
each drawn UP with a separate ribbon
a mammoth muff soft as a pocket
handkerchief, and a quaint bonnet
which may be turned around on the
head and made into a cosy winter
motoring cap This stunning Maurice
set was developed in sealskin, change
able blue and gold tissue and velvet
in the same shade of blue. a bright,
soft Mandarin blue that blended at
tractively with the sealskin. The bon
net was an early nineteenth century
affair with a deep, scoop brim of the
sealskin and a little round, gathered
back of the blue velvet. For motor
ing wear the cap-like velvet portion
fits over the head, the scoop brim of
sealskin falling over neck and ears at
the back. The muff matching this
bonnet is made mostly of the blue and
gold tissue with a narrow border of
the seal and strappings of plain blue
velvet It is enormous in size but

silk. The reticule is almost as large
as the mun and hangs from long
cords.
