War Affects
Summer Hats

The SOLDERING influence of war
time already shows itself in FASH
ions pet frivolity, fine millinery.
Women not only demand that 4
new hat be becoming. but they
also ask, rs 1t practical?" and
rs it durable?"
In spite of the summer require
ments for lightness, sheerness and
transparency, fewer hats of per-
ishable materials are shown than
in former seasons. Some of the
IhandsOmest of the broad-brimmed
models are of fine firm soft
straws.
Many women consider these
braids economical even at rather
high prices because they can be
reshaped another summer.
Most of the wide brims are
curved on classic lines, but some
times the curve is up and some
times down. The dropping brim
is distinctly not for the mature
face. 1t shuts out the light and
deepens the shadows.
Wartime simplicity prevails in
trimmings, the style of the best
hats depending entirely on line -
Summers own hat is, of course,
all-white, nevertheless fine black
straws are selected by many wom-
en- of good taste. partly because
white is so trying to a complexion
no longer fresh, partly because
black emphasizes the freshness of
a white or colored summer frock.
