borrowed, doubtless from portraits of
great ladies of some hundred or more
years ago. 1t is In distinct contrast
to the outstanding and jaunty aigrette
which showered In little fountain Of
fronds high In the air so much used
formerly.
The trimmed brlm is used in many
ways, as we shall see as the season
advances. Single flowers of velvet
are being used in fiat masses around
the wide brims which turn up and
away from the face saucer fashion.
These hats are not so elaborate and
dressy as the picture hats of velvet
and paradise, but they are suitable
for morning wear and make a trim
finish for the shopping dress worn with
smart wells and furs.
One of the simplest is exploited in
midnight-blue velvet in the saucer
shape with upturned brim. Around
the crown Is placed a circle of loops
made of heaviest blue silk floss In
lighter shade. These loops are used
to initiate ostrich fronds, which are
also much in evidence as a winter
trimming. At one side Of this model
is placed large rosette Of the loops
Of the silk floss and an edge Of the
same finishes the brim around the
face.
Another treatment of this upturned
brim Is seen in the wide sailor shape
which has fiaring brim across the
front of the hat, giving something OF
II three-cornered effect seen from the
front. This Is particularly suited to
young faces and youthful types.
The flaring brlm is often thickly
studded with tiny steel beads or dotted
with knots Of silk in the kind we call
French knots, meaning a tiny dot of
the silken thread made by wrapping
1t twice around the needle and pull
ing through to the under side. The
effect is that Of silken beads. As. this
is often done in contrasting colors it
makes a most effective trimming.
Because of the great demand for
hats of soft materials, such as duvetyn
and velours and velvet, and because
of the increasing cost of these soft
and beautiful fabrics, the price is con-
tinually mounting, especially as so
much of the trimming used this year
is done by hand and Is really hand
embroidery. One of the favorite ef-
fects Is seen In the use of simple bios
SONS, such as nasturtiums, single pc
tailed roses and kindred blooms done
in outline around crown and brlm.
High Draped Crowns.
The high draped crowns are again
seen. Sometimes they point up almost
a foot above the brim and are draped
in a series of folds which keeps them
from being awkward and very ugly, as
they so easily could be. OF course the
brims which accompany these high
draped crowns must be wide enough
to set them off successfully and pre-
vent a topheavy look. Among the new
trimmings are seen much glycerined
ostrich feather banding. This sort of
treatment of the feathers makes them
shiny and glossy. The frOnds are
placed singly along narrow band to
hold them and are used thus against
the brim in q width sufficient to entire
ly cover the brim and extend slightly
beyond.
A new shade is called nasturtiun
yellow and is as vivid as 1t can pos
sibly- be and very smart when made
up In an untrimmed velvet hat rolling
as to brim and crown too. These un
| trimmed hats are quite new, as they
have an air entirely all their own ant
seem to be most elaborate when alb
solutely untrimmed. This effect 1:
achieved by clever draping of tht
velvet, as in one instance the velve
is so arranged that 1t seems to max,
fold over the crown and Is folded
In over the brim in a double effec
which is different from more ordlnar!
arrangements.
