making this cock ed-up hat, and credit
their inspiration to different sources.

The real source behind both inten-
tons is the worlds eternal applause
for the spirit that goes with the
cooked hat. These picturesque hats
have actually been taken up by wom-
en- who wear uniforms on the street.
and. while the juxtaposition shocks
our sense Of fitness at first glance, we
have learned rather to admire the line
and swing Of the costume as whole.
We hate caps on women. There is
rolling, dashing, spirited headgear as
against the new street suit which is
fiecked with an insignia never before
exploited by women--the stars Of
ored departmental bands.
The brims of hats. therefore, are
cut according to romance or shortened
according to practical ideas, but the
crowns are unusually high. The ma
jority of American women have long
fSces-it is the racial stamp-and to
such women high-crowned hat is
never becoming. The French wear 1t

they are. stand out in rugged promi-
hence that is far from attractive.
The average American face needs a
low-crowned hat. no matter what the
brim. This is fundamental fact that
is provoked by a continental demand
it has nothing to do with the phases
of fashion. We look our best in width
over the eyes, not height.
Each woman, therefore. must strug-
gle with her own problem in this new
deluge bearing down upon us of high
crowns. Some Of them are direct imi-
tations OF coaching hats. and others
rise to peak that no Chinaman ever
allowed In the turban upon which we
have patterned some of our new hats.
1t is a strange thing, this dominating
influence Of China upon our costumery
When the first Chinese hats came into
existence they were considered anus

both, and there is a large majority
that avoids both whenever fashion al
lows the slightest loophole OF escape.
Even the French forsook wells for
four or five years, but as the weather
last winter demanded that they use
every means Of protection for their
flesh and blood, wells came back as a
part of costumery. They at once be-
came ornam entail and coquettish. They
carried their own collars with them,
the hat, which they evidently con-
sidered merely q tribe on which to
rest their own ornamental selves.
These are the wells that hold good
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 envelops the
neck, the chin and the lobes of the
ears, and the hat that envelops the
eyebrows, the top Of the ears and the
upper part of the eyelids. What in the
name of all common sense can veil
do between these two?
We like to trace our present fash
ions to an immediate inspiration, to
some fantastic or picturesque source
that is part and parcel of our pres
ent struggle for existence. 1t suits
our mood better than going back to
the dead and gone personages who
probably figure more gloriously in
literature than they did in fact.
SO it Is that, acting on this human
and natural impulse, We credit to the
Australians the revival of the big
rolling hat, with its plume. rather
than 10 the three musketeers. 1t is
said by those who dip into literature
when they write descriptions Of to-
days battles that there IL q d'Arta-

on their heads tingles us into a pleas

enemy has paid such constant and I'M

We show no fidelity as copyists in
these hats. Both French and Ameri-
can adaptations have q 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 today 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
UhCh as iAsl JdHudTy.
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. One thinks of the donjon tower
of I'll Trovatore." OF the secret ma
chinations of Catherine de Medici. 1t
may be quite fantastic to have any
thing so modern as this new hat sug-
gest such trend Of romantic thought,
but this square. upturned, battlement-
ed gray velvet hat. with it's odd fungi
growing out of the top. brings one up
with Il shock against the rattle Of
chains. the lament Of tenors and the
long, terrible ages from which we
thought we had emerged.
