1t IL too late TO talk of the AlsatiaL
bow, for it was obvious that the mil
liners would revive it; but a certain
woman Of distinction started a fash
ion for it that the milliners quickly
looked upon with envy.
She came to lunch In a restaurant
wearing the genuine Alsatian bow,
black and immense, placed across the
middle of her head, with a mere apol-
Ogy of 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 it 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 Corday 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 a well-knOwn
designer of individual evening gowns.
The transparent hat Is beyond aues-
ton one of the smart 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 il
seems TO rule in these tulle hats. II
Is often in the color that the French
call 'marron," that chestnut brown
which is soft and becoming. Over
there smart women wear stockings Of
ii with black slippers. even in eve
ming dress, and they like il 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 Bobbed Hair.
The Florentine couture is no longer
a caprice Of the extremists; il Is no
longer a sensational bit of bravado.

liners, after a frantic wringing Of the
hands. have decided that they must
meet this new demand. There must
be a large and creative impulse for
hats that win go with this Florentine
eoiffure. The broad. fiat hat Of Ma
