EASTER is going to come very

~ to- expect that Easter hats will

in suggestion. rather than small, tur-
ban-like affairs selected on earlier
casters to accompany first spring tall

hats now. are preparing for the late
season with picture styles-hats that
will accompany graceful frocks and
dressy wraps. April twentieth is like
iy to be warm and sunny and balmy,
not only at Atlantic City, where so
many folks spend the Easter week
end, but even in Manhattan.
Wolfe A New Millinery Fabric
A surprise of the season is the
voile-trimmed hat. Nets, chiffons,
Georgette crepe. figured mousseline,
have all been used in hat crowns and
for hat trimmings; but wolfe is a new
arrival in the millinery field. One
speaks. of course, of silk voile-the
cotton voile which is used for simple
summer frocks would be rather
clumsy and hardly exclusive enough
for a handsome hat. Some of the
silk voiles are as fine and supple as
net n this is particularly true Of the
beautiful indestructible wolfe which
has almost the transparency n i'm
palpable, fairy-like quality of chif-
fon. This wolfe comes In plain shades
and in attractive figured designs and
some of the hats pictured today show
wolfe used as the sole trimming.
The only exception to the picture
style of hat IN today's illustrations Is
the close turban made of straw and
wolfe. One can imagine just how
smart this hat will be. on the Easter
boardwalk at Atlantic City, with the
long veil floating about its wearer in
a fresh sea breeze. The veil Is made
of printed wolfe in shades OF hello
trope M lilac and the straw used in
the turban Is heliotrope in color. Mas
terly is the blending of straw and
wolfe in this turban; the two materials
80 different in texture being twisted
together. apparently, as easily as one
would drape the soft folds of a silk
turban. The veil of delicately printed
wolfe falls below the hips. but one
does not wear the ends hanging
straight down. One end is brought
forward over the shoulder toward the
front and the other end is swathed
around the throat, a short end falling
at the back. There are countless ways
In which such a veil could be ar
ranged and 1t is certain that a pretty
woman would make the most of all
of them.
