IN SOCIETY
By Mary Gwynn Whiteman Telephone lA2


a personal visit 10 the eastern mar
kets and selected her hats with
view TO the tastes Of her customers.
The hats this year are small and
fit the head closely; in fact, they
are warranted to stick on even in
the teeth of playful Oklahoma ze-
phyr that comes tearing along, blow
ing off the porch chairs and upsetting
benches.
The ladies will all have to discard
big hats this season; they would be
as much out of style in a big hat as
a cowboy on Broadway wearing
sombrero.
The feathers are of various colors,
styles and shapes.
On some of the hats you VIII hnd
feathers Of hair that are said to be
very modish; on others uncurled feath
ers, on others uncurled feathers in
the shape Of a question mark; in fact
all sorts of feathers are in vogue.
There are four new blue shades,
all of which Miss Grey has in stock III
trimmed and untrimmed shapes.
The sapphire blue, peacock blue
Paon and Valouris blue. The latter
two shades of blue sound like Greek
mythology and Miss Gray and her
affable sales ladies will be glad TO
show you tomorrow what they look
like.
There is a new color called the
brass or antique gold shade.
The new terra Gotta shares are mas
turtium, brique, giroflee and tango
The latter variation is the only one
that the newspapers have been CIV
ing much space to and it is said to
be very popular,
In the new purple shades there is
the prunelle and the tete de negre
which is only a high-toned way or
saving niger head" which may be
more readily understood by most OF
us.
The dark rich red shade is called
the betterave. which means beet
shade or beat it if you can, which
you can't. Then there are the So
called fur colors-taupe, gun metal
and subdued grays
Most of us have now become edu-
Gated enough along the color lines
to refer to "taupe' without our audi
ence catching on to the fact that we
don't know what we're talking about
and as for gun metal-we can just
refer to our cuff buttons to discover
the color.
Miss Grey has all these colors in
stock in a variety of shapes and il
you'll Just amble in there tomorrow af-
ternoon and in a sort Of careless man.
ner ask to see a valauris blue beaver
of something new in the Tilleul and
Girohee shades, you will show that
when it comes to keeping up with
the latest style you can sure go some.
The ambition of the trimmings on
the hats seems to be to go straight
up in the air, probably in an effort
to give an imitation of the effect the
price of the chapeau will have on the
husband when he gets the bill.
Some of the trimming is unusually
unique. You pick up a hat about the
size of a bread and butter plate and
it will have about the center of the
side where the monogram should be
placed. a tall Quill entirely destitute
of feathers until the very tip, where
it bursts into a full bloom of pin
feathers and fun grown feathers Civ
ing a sort of palm tree effect that
is extremely popular.
Look through the papers and fashion
plats and you'll find all the we'll
dressed ladies wearing them. But
really. the task of lecturing on the
new STYLES is one so recently attempt
ed in this column that You'll just have
to go to Miss Gray's tomorrow and see
for Yourself
These tips given are merely In the
nature of a sort of friendly advice
so that you won't go in there tomor-
row and show your ignorance by ask
ing TO see hats the size of a wash
pot and of red, yellow or blue shades.
The hats vary in size from rame-
kin saucer to a salad plate and are
paon blue. tango. bette rave or brique
shades.
However. you needn't rely on your
power of description TO get your hat
Just place yourself in the hands OF
Miss Gray or any of her three sales
women and you can count on hav-
ing something late and styiish. MISS
Hatfield has returned as head TRIM
mer for Miss Gray this sea;or and
she has added TO her force two eX'
