SPRING MILLINERY IS CHARMING
AND DIVERSIFIED TO SUIT TASTES

I center front Of this virot model rises
inevitable the Francois I. feather
fluffy brush affair made Of ostrich.
These white feathers at tho front
OF the "a give an effect of knowing
ness and sophistication to the face,
n sometimes. n regrets, the face
is a little hardened by the style: but
the white feather OF Francois and
Rembrandt seems to have come to
stay-at elast during the weeks of the
early suits. Only two types Of hats
are required in these first spring
weeks; smart, rather severely trim
med hats for use with tailored cos
tunes OF mohair or lightweight wor-
steds, and very dressy hats for use
with the elaborate gowns that are
worn at afternoon functions of a cere-
monius nature.
For Ceremonious Occasions.
In the latter classification comes Il
stunning hat by Maria Guy, which is
one of the most beautiful millinery
creati0ns-in shape and line and coll
oring-seen in man, a day. Indeed.
SO beautiful is this Maria Guy con-
lection that the original model has
creator. lace being combined in each
case with a long plume in the palest
coloring. The lace. which is of gold
Chantilly, is mounted owe a graceful,
low-crowned frame which has a large
head size so that the big crow set
ties far down over the hair. The
brim Is wide and soft and at one side
rolls over and over. back against the
crown. this rolled owe brim forming
a tube. into which is thrust the stem
Of the superb white ostrich plume
that droops over the side of the hat
on the shoulder. The hat has been
repeated also in champagne colored
malines lace with a plume in the
same tint. and in silver Chantilly with
a pale graz plume
ment OF its own-to paraphrase a
popular musical hit. The French mil
liner speaks often of the movement"
of a hat brirn. which may be piquant,
or picturesque or Sympathetic" and
which must be emphasized by the ar
rangement of the trimming. II the
completed hat is to express anything
and mind you. every French hat
does express something. which is the
not entirely grasp the meaning. but
you are certain to feel. the chic. To
get back to brim movements; it lie
really remarkable how many ways the
hat manufacturers have found to
make a brim roll; and it is exactly in
this point of the roll or movement"
of the brim that lies the smartness
of the model. The very exclusive
hat has a subtle roll. impossible to
initiate, yet replete with chic and
charm. Cheaper models roll also.
but the roll may be too emphatic.
which will make just the difference
between dash and hardness. It is
the woman who has an instructive
comprehension Of this subtle quality
of meaning in hat trimmings and hat
shapes who makes a clever home
milliner.
On the Riviera now everybody is
wearing champagne color Hats r
of light tan straw or of lace dyed in
champagne tint, and gloves and boots
likewise take on a yellowish cast. At
Mont Carlo recently a French count
ess attracted much attention by her
costunlc-all in tones of the fashion
able champagne and light castor col
or. He gown was of palest tan mo-
hair with broad bands of crochet
lace in the same shade. set into the
tunic and forming the bodice drapery.
The waistline was emphasized with a
ed with fringe and the draped hat
crown was of the same pale tan tat
feta, the 'brim being of coarse straw
braid in a deeper. castor tone. Stop
ing off at n side of the draped
crown was a stunning plume in a. rich
prune color-the emphatic darker
color-line that saved the costume
from monotony. With this dainty |
gown were worn fairy-like boots of
cream-colored suede with vamps of
pale tan and fiat buttons in ivory
tint. The gloves were of champagne
colored silk embroidered on the wrists
