Hats and Wraps

Some OF the latest ideas in hats and
between season wraps are enchant-
ing Take. for instance, a futurest
effect in figured brOche in two tones

tan faille, whose flower petal collar
is lined with chiffon of the same
shade. a graduated ruffie of the
faille. put on with a deep heading

the buckles which hold the front of
the garment in place are, oddly
enough. of straw.
Another most effective model ] am
showing is of brown moire taffeta
with a delicately reddish tinge to it.

only. to be gathered in very tightly
at the knees where it is swooped
suddenly up and confined with two
bits of gay embroidery. The wrap
is lined with deep yellow chiffon
cloth, and a Japanese bow Of yellow
charmeuse yelled in reddish brown
malines adds a telling touch TO the
back of the neck. This same yelled
charmeuse is also used to form the
long ends which hang pendant from
the front.
Still another wrap / have designed

cut like a high wasted coat, with
circular skirt attached, ending in an
irregular hem above the knees. The
puffed sleeves and short little back
are of dim, blurred plaid in yellow,
pink and gray-green tones. The roll
ling Jap collar makes the coat seem
cut low in the back, after the pre-
vailing mode of the moment, and
single jet butterfly buckle serves to
hold it together in the front
Singularly enough there are but few
women who realize, that when one is
choosing a hat it is not only neces-
sary to see that ii is becoming to the
head, but one must consider the fig
ure as we'll For example there are
many women who have large feat
ures and abundant hair. but who at
the same time are short of stature,
and a chapeau which would seem on
them, when seated, the height of de
STABILITY, would appear awkward and
topheavy when the woman is stand
ing. SO let me caution you never to
decide upon a hat until you have first
gotten a full length view Of yourself,
to see that you have properly carried
out the law of values and proportion.
Two hats which I would recon-
mend for wear at this season of the
year are most effective. The first, a
stiff wide brimmed sailor with a cup
like crown, would be charming on
tall woman of slender proportions.
1t is of Manila straw, champagne
in cOloring, and is slightly raised
from the head by a bandeau of old
blue French velvet. Stifly arranged
on the bandeau is a bunch of blush
roses with blush pink hearts posed
between two opposing stalks Of
wheat. deep tan in color, and identic-
al. with the trimming which encircles
the crown proper The liaisOn be
tween crown and brim is effected by
velvet ribbon, and stretched fiat over
the upper part Of the brim is a circu-
lar piece Of blue chiffon, printed with
tan flowers in conventional design.
The other hat. is well adapted to
the shorter woman of more ample
proportions 1t is of the tremend-
ously popular black lisere straw. bent
into a piquant shape and pounched
in the rear by means Of a narrow APP
plication of eelanese ribbon. on the
inverted crown are massed in prim
profusion a quantity Of wide open.
rose pink, Old-fashiOned garden roses.
Such a hat, being from the nature
of it's construction, impervious to
weather conditions, should find
ready place in any wardrobe.
