Anne Rittenhouse, writer OF fash
ions, has issued the following con-
corning the new spring hat:
In millinery there is new kind
OF hat which has been sent over
from Paris and which has been
taken up instantly by our milliners.
Ii is OF black taffeta more than any
other fabric. and yet. 1t appears In
dull blue velvet. II Is something
like the shape OF drum majors
cap, standing high from the head
and nearly covering the eyes; IL has
no brim, and yet IL is not difficult
to wear because its surface is plain
and not irregular. THE entire hat
Is built up of small pleatings hor-
izontally placed around the form and
ore OF these pleatings juts cut over
the lower edge. The only trimming
is close group of tiny ostrich tips
placed on the side half way up. r.
has been introduced as Louis phil
ippe hat. AS 1t Is in taffeta, 1t is
quite likely that II will be exploited
among the first costumes intended
for the Southern exodus.
