French and American Ideas Based on
War Models Worked Out to Suit
the Feminine Demand

of first aid to the ignorant. II her
face demands a wide brim let her
choose that shape. and she will find
that each milliner has made at least
three hats to suit her fancy.
There are irregular brims; there
are brims that slope upward on one
side and downward on the other with
the perilous side tip Of an airplane
when the observer wishes to see what
is happening below.
The milliners take 1t for granted that
every woman does not wish to conceal
the upper part OF her face even though
fashion has gone to the extreme limit
in that line, so there are hats that roll
straight away from a tight headband
and spread out to astonishing proper
tons when they take the air They
are draped or they are made exactly
like a nice thick cream puff. with a
bunch of foolish or daring little
feathers coming out of the top AZ
though the cream were oozing out.
There are comic opera hats, but they
do not play the comedy role on a
woman's head. They are attractive.
They need a veil, and a good looking
fashion and they may be the fore
runners of gloves.
There are women who always wear
both, and there is a large majority that
avoids both whenever fashion allows
the slightest loophole Of escape. Even
the French forsook vefls for four or
| five years, but as the weather last
winter demanded that they use every
means Of protection to their flesh and
blood wells came back as a part Of
costumery.
They at once became ornamental
and coquettish. They carried their
own collars with them. and they some
times seemed to carry the hat, which
they evidently considered merely 4
trfie on which to rest their own orna-
mental selves.
Inspiration From AnEacs.
These are the wells that hold good
to-day. But it is quite probable that
they will be discarded when the cold
weather comes by those who will take
UP the two leading fashions that have
been revived from two years ago--the
funnel collar that envelopes the neck
the chin and the lobes of the ears, and
the hat that envelopes the eyebrows
the top of the ears and the upper par,
OF the eyelids. What in the name o.
all common sense can a veil do be-
tween these two?
We like to trace our present fashion:
to an immediate inspiration, TO some
fantastic or picturesque source that i.
part and parcel of our presen
struggle for existence. 1t suits oul
mood better than going back to the
dead and gone personages who prob
ably figure more gloriously in litera
ture than they did in fact

brings one UP with a shock against the
rattle of chains, the lament of tenors
and the long, terrible ages from which
we thought we had emerged.
Passing of sport Hat.
A curious phase of fashion during
the second yeap OF our participation
in the war Is the passing or sport
clothes. This does not mean that
they weren't worn in tiresome profu-
sion at summer resorts. Wherever
women gathered from east, west, north
or south they came with trunks OF
sleeveless Jackets, colored sweater
coats, separate skirts and the other
paraphernalia that go with the
beach, the mountain and a motor car.
But through all these costumes ran
a thread OF different dressing which
was quite noticeable to those who had
seen other summers at American re-
sorts. Few OF the women wore white
linen skirts, white shirtwaists or
sweaters. Few wore fiat heeled shoes
The majority Of them made the mis-
take OF wearing sleeveless Jackets and
separate skirts with pointed pumps
and Louis XIV. heels.
That's the kind Of thing we do quite
badly over here and which is de-
parture from the good sense which
characterized our sport clothes ten
years ago. In truth, the whole shoe
situation in America Is so bad that
, one would like to write down rules and
regulations about them and have been
| enforced by the Goernment. We used
| to pride ourselves on the best shoes
| in the world. worn in the most suitable
manner and differing for each occa'
sion. We laughed at the French fol
their eccentricities.
To-day, although we do not seen
| to realize It, the majority of women ir
the world are looking askance at oul
feet. We wear absurd shoes unless 6
uniform demands sensible ones. Tht
whole condition is topsyturvy.

ing her feet.
It's a long way from the feet back
to the head. so 1t is best to jump over
1t and connect up this outburst about
i'll shod feet with the story to he told
about the elimination of the sport hat
That is the point from which started.
The different kinds Of sport hats tina,
once prevailed in this community are
no longer seen. Even with a sleeve
less jacket and a separate skirt women
manage to, put on n hat that has
certain note of dignity about II. One
is not sure that this is right, but ut
least It does relieve the eye of the
eternal procession of girls and young
women who smashed down on their
heads lineless hats that should have
been kept for driving a motor
The incoming of the stiff sailor hat
did much to relieve us of the shspeless
sport hat. 1t ruled through tho sum
mer. and 1t will rule through the win
ter for those who can stand its severity.
There Is a strong recrudescence %
coat suits In prospect. The sailor hat
goes with them. The war brought this
national uniform back into fashion.
and we will see far less of separate
frocks and topcoats as the season pro-
crosses.
1t is not an easy thing to manipulate
coat suit throughout the day so that
1t will adapt itself to different occa-
sions, but the belief in France and
the growing belief in this country Is
that afternoon costumery will disar-
pear until the world is on new foot

This is the fashion that will rule.
but it will not be observed by all
women. 1t has not been observed 81
far. There never have been such
brilliant, decollete. gorgeous clothes
worn at luncheons in restaurants, but
the entire pressure will be put upon
the coat suit with the cuirass blouse
If such costumery Is to rule between
breakfast and dinner then we are
going to see a decided change in hats.
We will keep the severe ones for the
day hours and indulge in the brilliant
ones for the evening. And why? Be
cause there will undoubtedly be vast
amount of dining at restaurants, and
for this the hat Is to be smart.

THERE is nothing in millinery
to-day upon which one can put
i the finger and say that it Is
definitely new. In looking over the
collection one feels that a strong
struggle goes on between the fashion
for trimmed hats and the fashion for
untrimmed ones.
At a meeting OF milliners which
was held in New York last spring
there was loud clamor for orna-
mentation in millinery. The mere
mention OF it brought forth the clap
ping of hands. Roses we're desired,
quilts. feathers, fantasies, pieces Of
fur and jewelled bnndings--in fact.
anything and everything that would
create something that has not existed
for half a decade.
The desire Of the French for sever
ity and that of the Americans for
ornamentation are shown undoubtedly
in the conflicting hats Of this autumn.
There is nothing that has not been,
and yet there Is much that Is good
and acceptable.
Since there Is no exclusive path Of
fashion in which all should walk II
they would be in the procession,
there is the more genial, broad high
way, in which all types are jostled and
mingled and call themselves in the
fashion. All the hats of the hour are
on this broad highway. and that suits
the majority.
No matter what 4 woman chooses,
che has some master designer back
OF her choice. To begin with fabrics,
she may keep loyal to velvet or she
may dip into the caprice OF the mo-
ment as it. is expressed by angora
braid or even serge.
She may insist upon satin from
now until next April, and she may
choose it in any color that har-
monies or corresponds with her
gown. She may feel inclined to avoid
felt, for 1t is little in the picture.
AS for ornamentation. she may
adopt it II she likes the idea. II she
prefers simplicity she has three dozen

Probably because Of their appeal the
milliners have taken up another kind
Of upturned turban that was surely
suggested by the battlemented walls OF
some of the chateaux that have been
ruined on the battlefields OF northern
France. They have the dark mystery
of the twelfth century about them.

We show no fidelity as copyists in
these hats. Both French and Amer
lean adaptations have peculiar ap.
peal and allure that is lacking in the
original. The result is something quite
smart and out of the ordinary.
These hats are launched to-day by
the milliners with the greatest names.
even though they are not new and
little exclusive segments of American
and French women wore them as far
back as last January.

following:
Reports compiled by the U. s. De

increase In cattle Of l023S,OO0 head
and 12.44l 600 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January l last.
In this period there was a decrease

ports.
Since January unofficial informa-

not less than 8 per cent. and mol
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with al Increase In
the average weight.
Following the request Of the U. s,

increase may yield not less than l.600,-
