Il YOW, here 30 Something. for the mo-
M ment at least, quite new-'topper"
hats in all guises. How long this
particular fancy will last it Is difficult to
say, though / rather imagine that one
Boon may get tired OF so distinct change
from the little close-ftting toQues Of last
seaaon. with the high standing aigrettes
and paradise. Particularly as for the
present at least all "toppers" must be
more or less alike In proportion, though
] shall try to ring in as many changes
around this particular form as possible.
A topper" hat is distinctly a hat for
the tailor.made girl. 1t is a utility hat,
and must in no way be overturned or of
any particular kind OF material. The four
that have are the very latest, or may !
say the very earliest Of this delightful
form Of headgear. The little lady with
the ermine muff has topper reminis.
cent of the Sans Gene. 1t is of green
panne, with narrow piece of ermine ter
minatinG in little black tail poised high
on the right hand side of the crown and
running down low on the left hand side
OF the back, where 1t terminates with
tiny ermine head. This should be worn
with green tailored suit and ermine furs.
The coach and four is another form,
and absolutely made on the lines Of the
drivers hats In the old coaching days,
with curled.up brlm bound and banded
with a black MORE ribbon. With this the
wearer has high black and white choak.
er stock to keep in the suggestion OF
position.
Yet another hat is of black beaver OF
rather q Victorian type worn by ladies
when out riding. 1t has bottle green
lace veil drawn diagonally across the face
and fastened high at the back with a
green brush.
Our last friend wears white veil with
heavy Spanish design over her face, just
showing the eyes below.
These hats, in common with other hats
of the season, must not be worn crowded
down onto the head, but rather higher in
the back than the front, and in one or two
cases q quaint little lady might be brave
enough to wear green chenille net over
her headdressing up the back to be in
keeping with the whole of the picture.
And now to tell you something of the
dresses. 1 suppose If were to say that
skirts will be fuller and bodices tighter
you would say, I'VE have heard all this
before" But II you were to see the
dresses you would say Immediately, II
have never seen skirts so full or bodices
SO tight as these" for they are even
fuller and tighter than last season, and
In many cases shorter. The bodices are
very long wasted and necessitate an en-.
tire new silhouette, so if you wish to be
in the latest fashion you must HE your
self to your corsetierre before you come
to me. Hoops are, of course, in nearly
everything, and it is surprising how in.

elegant the dresses look without them If
