hair was coiled high behind it. This
was the real thing, and her daring
made her the target Of all eyes. IL
may be that the Alsatian bow Ia this
form will be introduced for the e
ming. Let us hope that II will never
appear at the theater. At the present
rate of prices and the scarcity OF
Alsatlan bows in the audience would
be the straw on the camel's back.

Its bow, has been introduced for the

The best one is In copper tulle, Its

designer of individual evening gowns.
The transparent hat Is beyond ques-

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, 50 II

The miiiiners believe That in copper

Hats and Bobbed Hair.
The Florentine couture is no longer
a caprice of the extremists; it Is no
longer a sensational bit Of bravado.
The war has instated II as a strong
fashion. Women with gray hair wear
ii bobbed to the nape of the neck or
curied under to appear ms though IL
were cut. Girls with every shade OF
hair wear it. Matrons with half
grown children adopt it. So the mil
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 will go with this Florentine
couture. The broad, fiat hat of Ma
pies has been brought out ana In
adopted by one young matroA whose
face figures In half the periodicals OF
the day, and her side companion. who
also wears the ancient Italian hair.
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 IL be turban or
fiat brim. They cannot, Of course,
wear hats of exceeding dignity, but
they try a certain type Of distin-
guished hat which Is considered the
leading thing by the milliners; and
they carry 1t Off with great skill. This
Is the immense bIack-thread lace hat,
transparent, with its broad Alsatian
bow wired across the front. This isa
the hat that will srrpersede. for the
spring, the upturned. many pointed.
theatrical hat Of silk plush and velvet,
with ITS aigretfes.
