Military Influence
hats been seen
The Eamut from motor hat To
smart street ChaEeau Is run. and not
only Is the military note evidenced
in the shaping OF The hats, but I'm
their decorations as well. Metal mo-
tits very military and smart, are
porylar and outstanding military
pompons are also liked,
The sketch shows three hats OF
the fan and winter crop that may
claim military kinship The wide
model is rather italian, with it,
quantity rolled brim tipped with
wool embroidered design in high
color. The hat proper combines
bright green and red felt and It is
featured for sport wear.
The visored cap OF the French sol
dicrs is shown. developed in caracul.
Persian or baby lamb, caracul or
other crinkly black fur, the front
adorned with a single metal or gold
thread emblem This hat may be-
worn for motoring when midwinter
winds sweep about us and obviously
1t should bo merely an accompani.
ment OF "a handsome coat of the
same fur
The third hat IS OF Bordeaux col
orcd velvet or hatters plush trim
med with small buttons and gold
braid
A noticeable feature 81 many OF
the smart hats developed for next
season wear Is the use OF bandeauy.
Following the bandcau vogue 20 us

son
Towering or tilted hats would set
rather grotesquely over equally tow
ering mounds OF hair, while the hair
piled low on the head or neck serves

Nothing prcttier than chiffon FOR
the development OF dainty neRligce
garments has as yet been discover

didly II the work is properly done
in the first place Accordion plcat-
ed chiffon regligees and matinee
jackets are among the dainty items
of apparel offered for next season,
and with September weddings loom
ing near and the finishing touches
10 be put 10 innumerablc trousseaux,
a suggestion for pretty and becom-
ing boudoir garment seems timely.
The sketch illustrates an cxcep-
tionally dainty model, employing for
It's foundation accordion plcated
chiffon OF any preferred pastel
shade. with n Jacket which may be
either entirely OF lace or OF chiffon
trimmed In lace.
A back view OF the garment is Of
fered, and the front is exactly like
II. except that the decolletage is a
tri1e more pronounced and the jack
81 ends few inches longer.
II desired this garment may be
mounted on an underslip OF satin
In blending or contrasting color.
Satin will be used quite extensive
ly In the development OF negligee
garments for next season wear, and
some very fetching little tea or din
ner gowns are being shown combin-
Ing chiffon. satin and lace. with per.
haps a touch OF velvet for good mea-
sure. Metal laces and touches OF
metal embroidery, as we'll as satin
and metal brocades In dainty pat
terms, are favored for negligee gar
ments by those TO whom money

The chiffon and lace garment illus
trated need not be expensive: II
could easily be made AT home. and
II is very dainty and becoming.
Note the shlrred and banded YOKE
which holds the garment in place.
The question OF fashion I'm gar
ments for the tiny tots is largely |
one Of daintiness and becomingness.
But OF course every item of apparel |
planned for the very small citizen |
should wash.
The sketch offers two suggestions |
for the four TO eight.yearold woman |
OF the family. The little MILDLY
dress Is especially smart, with its |
helted coat OF striped galatca. linen. |
Bingham. etc. and skirt OF white or
plain color matching I'm tone the !
dominant shade in the blouse.
To make this little frock for the |
average six-yeM-old one yard OF

Will be required for the skirt, with |
one and a half yards OF striped fab |
