Paris, Jan. 29-Drawing their in
spiration from the new and freaklsh
"futurist cult of art" the milliners Of
Paris today are preparing for the
spring market the weirdest confections
in feminine headgear that have ever
been attempted.
The Futurist hat is without any par
ticular shape or form, but the color
combinations are bit noisy. For in
stance, one exceptionally modest crea-
tion, displayed in the Rue de la Paix
show four colors in the trimming-red
violet, green and yellow. Another IA
vorite ensemble is Mandarin blue, em-
erald green, Spanish yellow and Bish-
ops purple, with dash of cerise.
Orchard effects give evidence Of re-
newed popularity, with apples in all
shades of green, red, and yellow pre-
dominating. One especially chic TOP
piece is decorated with two peaches
half dozen plums and a handful OF
cherries.
