undoubtedly appear. Already we see more
large hats. with curving brims and pict-
uresaue arrangement OF trimming.
| For the moment enormous hats of black
velvet sre the feature OF smart teas. Two
! worn at the Ritz last week attracted at |
tention. both by reason Of their size and
the odd way the trimming was poised. |
Fortunately. they did not both appear at
the same table. One, rolled up in 'front.' !
rested on the shoulders behind. and It's
greatest width, across the sides, made
! fat background for the tiny blond face II
framed A fiat bush Of white aigrettes
was laid across each side, exaggerating
even the extreme width of the brm. The
yearer was gowned in a white cloth suit

! tsche-for soutache has sprung suddenly |
/ into favor again. The woman very
| slender and her shoulders and arms seemed
to drop under the burden Of black furs she
carried.
The other hat was all black, and the
equally wide brim was arranged in points,
the two most prominent OF which stood
out on each side, giving the same broad
Ieffcct. II suggested an enormous black
bird balancing itself in the wind. The only
trimming was a glossy ostrich plume at
tached to the front OF the hat and stand
ing erect, with the curling end dropping
toward the face.
! The new Tam q Shanter shapes are
quaint. Some are like the velvet berets
beloved by Quarter Latin students mount
ed on soft turban brim. A great bird OF
paradise seems the natural trimming on
the uplfted side. Another bonnet form rs
shaped much like a nightcap, the real old
fashioned masculine nightcap, not the
| tiny lace confections now worn by women.
| These rolling brims are particularly pretty

| hold It IS nothing more than the dough-
| rut fashion, which American schoolgirls
| have affected for some years. The hair is
parted down the back and then braided

ears Women who are fond of adopting
CANINE style are sure to wear this for
while. at least. II shows TO good advantage
the beauty and the amount Of natural hair
that Cne possesses.
There arc many extremely artificial fash
ions Of dressing the hair, but there is as
we'll a marked return TO a natural manner
of arranging the grown on locks.
French women have good hair naturally
and. since the Marcel wave departed from
these shores some years ago, the hair has
had good chance TO grow. This opens
an opportunity for the return Of the pure
Greek style OF hair dressing, the hair
lightly parted or waved back from the
forehead and colled in knot on the back
Of the head
The Paris tailors should be credited with
great ingenuity in varying the trimmings
OF their street suits. No two seem orna-
mentcd alike. and yet all, even the simplest
walking costume, have some decoration. The
present walking suits are quite long. just
clearing the grounds, for the very short suit
seems TO have disappeared at the moment
with some other fashion not entirely suited
10 the Parisienne. For tailored suits the
very long close sleeve is growing in favor

seems always 10 be an important point, and

added so as TO half cover the hand. a good
early spring suit in q pctuna serge has the
front panel of the skirt cut so as TO extend
over the side breadths at the hem. The
edges are heavily stitched and trimmed
with buttons and loops OF the WOOL edged
with gray satin. The bottom OF the short

{ and the collar and revers. odd In shape and
cut into several square tabs, are faced with

the bottom OF the sleeve, although 1t does
not increase it's size.
