Odd Shaped Hats
Seasons Favprites
At ClOutier Opening

Smart colors, designs and ma
terialS are maintained this season as
before, in the fall and winter showing
OF hats at the millinery shop of Miss
Irene M. Cloutier. Duvetyns plain
and embroidered, panne velvets,
metallic brocades are the materials;
odd are the shapes, yet becoming and
varied and the colors this season are
henna, the new chow shade and even
turquoise blue. On Wednesday Miss
Cloutier displayed at the opening
some most attractive models. The
odd shapes run riot with the rich
shades and materials and the result
is that the cold weather season hats
are such as will delight the heart Of
the well dressed woman. One might
almost believe that garrishness would
hold sway because metallic cloth,
metallic thread and ornaments are in
such high favor. But the brightness
of the metals are set OF by the mod
estly shaded materials. Odd designs
rather than odd colors predominant.
Panne velvet, black and lusterous
forms one hat shown Wednesday at
the Cloutier shop. The shape of the
hat is very unusual. the brim cut in
at one side. A large jet ornament,
built very much like an osprey and a
jet band forms the finishing touch to
this attractive model. A picture hat
is always high in favor.
Another dressy hat noted Wednes-
day was turquoise blue velvet with
sold cloth crown. Chantilly lace, an
echo from the summer season drapes
itself delightfully."- around the brim. 1t
is a hat such as would form the fitting
touch for milady when she goes out
dressed in fur.
Gold braiding and a gold cloth
crown on a coral duvetyn hat of very
odd shape is one of the very striking
patterns. A coral colored plume rear
ing itself on one side and dropping
gracefully down strikes a key note of
the seasons showing-plumes are to
be much worn this season, tits said.
Miss Cloutier says that henna is
"a most popular shade in New York,
bat Augusta ladies do not seem to ia
vor the color as much this season as
they have in the past. The new chow
shade is not quite like any other color
! shown thus far in the millinery line.
1t is similar to light tan and yet
shows deep, rich brown tones as the
light strikes it. Accordion pleated
velvet brims are shown on some OF
the hats in Miss Cloutier's shop and
they have a most youthful look. in the
turn away from the face style.
The window at Miss Cloutiers shop
for the Wednesday opening was most
attractive. Blue drapings over a floor
of beaver color formed most pleas
ing BACKGROUND for some of the eX-
elusive models which she displayed
The store, the shelves filled with all
the latest in the fall and winter styles
presents a very gay sight. for the light

and gold braided trimmings and the
metallic brocades (which seem to be
especially favored this season.

at the Cloutier shop, there is nc
