wearing the genuine Alsatian bow,
black and immense, placed across the
middle of her head, with mere apol-
ogy Of a little cloth cap in front of 1t.
1t stood upward and outward, and her
hair was coiled high behind 1t. This
was the real thing, and her daring
made her the target of all eyes. II
may be that the Alsatian bow In this
form will be introduced for the eve
ming. Let us hope that 1t will never
appear at the theater. At the present
rate Of prices and the scarcity of
seats, the addition of hundred or SO
Alsatian bows In the audience would
be the straw on the camers back.
Charlotte corday Cap.
The Charlotte CoEday cap, minus
Its bow, has been introduced for the
South and is taken up by the North.
1t is made of brilliant, dark tulle, al
ways double, but entirely transparent.
The best one Is in copper tulle, its
high crown trimmed at the base with
a twist of tulle and one of those
rocco red roses with gold outer
petals and leaves which have been
brought into fashion by well-knOwn
designer of individual evening gowns.
The transparent hat is beyond ques-
ton one Of the smhrt fashions of the
hour. 1t means that the couture must
come back into orderliness and lowell
ness The crowns of these hats are
often high and gently manipulated by
the fingers to give grace, and one OF
the best French hats takes the crown
of the American doughboy hat as its
model.
As brown rules In yelling, so 1t
seems to rule in these tulle hats. 1t
Is often in the color that the French
call maroon" that chestnut brown
which is soft and becoming. Over
there smart women wear stockings of
1t with black slippers, even in eve
ming dress, and they like it in all the
accessories. Over here we are just
beginning to grasp its Importance.
The milliners believe that in copper
and chestnut, the brown hat will rule
the spring season.
Hats and 6obbed Hair.
The Florentine couture is no longer
caprice Of the extremists; 1t is no
longer sensational Bit Of bravado.
| The war has instated It as a strong
fashion. Women with gray hair wear
1t bobbed to the nape of the neck or
curled under to appear as though 1t
were cut. Girls with every shade of
| hair wear 1t. Matrons with half
grown children adopt 1t. So the mil
liners, after frantic wringlng of the
hands, have decided that they must
meet this new demand. There must
| be a large and creative impulse for
hats that will go with this Florentine
| couture. The broad, fiat hat Of Ma
pies has been brought out and is
| adopted by one young matron whose
| face figures In half the periodicals of
the day, and her side companion. who
also wears the ancient Italian hair
cut, adopts the Florentlne velvet hat
with Its trimming of two rows of coral
beads.
1t must be admitted that the women
themselves have seen to 1t that they
look well in any type of hat with this
bobbed hair, whether 1t be turban or
fiat brim. They cannot, of course,
wear hats Of exceeding dignity, but
they try certain type of dlstin.
| guished hat which is considered the
leading thing by the milliners; and
they carry it of with great skill. This
is the immense black.thread lace hat.
transparent, with Its broad Alsatian
bow wired across the front. This is
the hat that will supersede, for the
spring, the upturned, many pointed
theatrical hat Of silk plush and velvet,
with its aigrettes.
