Forecast of Materials and Shapes

Winter Hats.
TRIMMED BRIM IS CERTAIN

Crowns Sure to Be Another
Feature.

While It seems somewhat early In
the season to speak with finality Of
the fan and winter hats, enough new
shapes have been displayed to give US
some inkling Of what is to come, writes
Martha Goode Anderson in the New
York Sun. For several weeks now we
have seen a sweeping rage of the felt
hats with wide brims and exploited in
the palest pastel shades and ornament
ed with bright and gay wool stitchery.
As this wool stitchery is to be so much
in evidence throughout the winter not
only on hats but on coats, dresses and
blOuses, II is just as well to consider it
seriously and recognize the demand,
for it is one Of the established facts in
winters coming fashions.
The felt hats Of which 1 am speak
ing have been used primarily for
sport hats with pale-colored sweaters
and bright-hued skirts and blOuses.
We cannot complain Of the lack Of
color during this summer, for as a sort
Of reaction from the dull and somber
hues Of the war period our clothes
have caught and reflected the most
radiant tones Of the rainbow and
every group has been respondent In
its vivid colors
The First Showing.
Always at the beginning Of every
season 1t seems as If the first showing
Of millinery included only the wide
brimmed and large hats. This is In
eyitably so for the spring and summer.
as we find ourselves preparing for the
hot days when the sun is binding and
We need some sort Of protection for
eyes and skin. Just why it should be
for fall and winter, however, do not
know unless the idea is to display first
the dressy hat, as most women go on
the principle that having invested In
a smart and very good hat almost any
thing viii do for every day. / do not
present this idea as conclusive by any
means, but it may be one Of the rea-
sons why we are shown so few Of the
small and simple everyday sort Of
hat and most of the newest shapes are
Of the splendid velvet picture hats.
Paradise feathers are predominating
as trimming. They sweep down, but
not up as heretofore, and thick sprays
are used more than the single feathers
we have seen so much Of in recent
times. Black paradise is really lovely
and so expensive that II need not be
disdaIned by even the most exacting
and conservative.
One Of the newest shapes which IL
neither large nor small In size Is the
round turban with the draped and
heavy brim. This is not an easy shape
to wear, as it Is apt to look very heavy
30 close TO the face. However, IL Is
really very splendid, for it Is developed
In the rarest and richest Of brocades,
heavily embroidered in gold and silver
and respondent in a mingiing Of colors
enhancing to see.
The crowns Of these wide draped
turbans are Of velvet or duvetyn a.
the case may be and are entirely I'M
trimmed, as the present Indication IN
the matter OF trimming Is seen IN the
drapIng Of the brim. Where feathers
are used they sweep down close to the
face, even resting almost under the
chin IN q soft curve. This way Of
placing the paradise Is an old. old one.
