WAR STILL WAGED BETWEEN HATS
LARGE AND SMALL

When the wide-brimmed Spanish sailor
made its appearance in fashio9able
France last spring, there were many pre-
dictions that II would shortly replace
the small hat in popular affection, At
least among AngIo-Saxons. BY Christ
mas, was the dictum issued last sum-
mer, there would be no small hats
Every woman would be wearing a hat
that extended almost to her shoulders.
Well the predictions were made in all
good faith. But they have not been full
filled. The wide-brimmed hat Is here
and so is the small one Both are in good
style. Probably when spring comes both
will still be in fashion.
The reasons for the supposed quick
adoption OF the broad hat by American
women were many.
To begin with. the small hat was
evolved in France, and in France it was
decidedly smart. The French woman's
face has just the chic. the piquancy.
needed to set on the tiny hat The
American Eomans face, prettier. doubt
less, needs something softer. The shade
OF a wide brim is becoP-ihg to her. The
frame of hair about the face which the
larger hat permits is another becoming
feature. Men like large hats-so 1t was
said. Moreover. the large hat has al
ways-witness Gainsborough. Vatican,
and Romney-been the hat that was con-
sidered picturesque and becoming.
The reasons on which the predictions
we're based doubtless were good. But
the reasons why the predictions failed
are also good. Here are some of them:
The American woman had learned to
wear the small hat to advantage. She
knew just the tilt, just the angle at
which it should be placed to be efrec-
tive.
The trim. neat coiffure. in which the
hair is drawn back from the brows. and
from the nape of the neck. was especial
ly adapted to the small hat.
The small hat had been found COM
Portable. The absence of hat pins, nee
essary with big hats. was a boon. 1t
The Washington herald., 1914-11-22

was joy not to be forced to fasten the
hat in place with huge veil every time
one stepped into a motor. which. i'm
these convenient days, is rather often
The small hat seems more in keeping
with the styles. The straight line from
shoulder to hips, and the naring swing
below are better emphasized when the
hat is not large
And. above all, the small hat is almost
always the smart hat. Whether or not
II be becoming, it possesses style.
So. for one reason and another. the
wise predictions made last summer have
failed to come true. The small hat is
still in evidence. Perhaps the large hat
is more numerous every week; perhaps
the small hat will eventually disappear.
Nobody knows And after the unfulfIled
predictions OF last summer. nobody is
ready to talk much OF the future Of
the large and the small hat The pres
ent is engrossing.
The Velvet Hat.
Velvet Is still used for most OF the
hats that are worn. 4 few fashionable
women have worn felt hats. and a few
have worn silk hats. But most wear
those of velvet.
Black is no longer the only color one
sees in velvet hats. The deep. dark blue
velvet hat is deserving of all the at
tention it has received. II is distinctive
in appearance. II is almost universally
becoming. and il is softer, more charit-
able than the black hat. Then there
are some very good white hats. of vel
ours and plush. Many OF sand or tan
velvet are worn. and some OF cerise,
kings blue and purple are seen.
The TrImmInEs.
Simplicity is still the keynote Of hat
trimming, and for this every woman
should be grateful For the simple hat
is far more likely to be becoming than
the top-heavy hat that is laden with
trimming Ostrich is much used again
for trimming. and in many different ways.
First in importance l. the burnt ostrich
plume which has much Of the lightness
OF the forbidden aigrette, plus a grace
of its own. II is often tipped. on the
end Of each fue. with gold or silver. and
a gOld-dipped plume of light brown on
The Washington herald., 1914-11-22

a dark brown velvet hat is decidedly ef-
fective.
Then there is fur. which grows in i'm
pOrtance as trimming with the advance
of cold weather. One thing that has
given fur hat trimming an impetus Is
the three-pieced fur set, consisting OF Il
toque. collar and mum made up OF fur
combined with velvet. silk or chiffon.
These little sets are in very good style.
Flowers come in for attention, too
Big velvet pansies are remarkably ef-
fective, when they are ranged around
the brim Of hat, close to the crown.
Sometimes they are in black and white.

pansy's natural coIoring. Roses are
worn, cften matching the big rose worn
at the side OF the fur collar And there
are little punches Of velvet fruit and
flowers that are placed with apparent
bTim.
A walking hat that il worn by women

French watering places, and was after

porters. II is made of striped velvet,
