demure grey felt hats and hugo
parrots spread their wings on
large brimmed hats.
In headgear we harken hack to
Granny's days, using today wax
fruits like the wax grapes that we
tasted on her old.fashionsd turban
to- see II they were real. This
season however we also have WAX
flowers that have been made to
insure against melting in the
warm days Of summer. One
needn't fear to spoil the hat on q
rainy day. for the wax flowers are
rain and sun proof.
Prohibition restricts the elder
berry but 1t may appear in public
as a trimming IL not as q wine.
One lovely garden hat at Erie
bacher's is OF black Neapolitan
straw. A profuse trimming Of
elderberry flowers surrounds the
crown.
Hatpins. too, come under the eyos
OF Fashion. The latest whim OF
the mode is the dragon fly pin, an
idea that originated In Paris. At
the top Of the pin a realistic
dragon fly spreads its glossy. trans
parent wings. Nesting among the
flowers on a huge hat It serves rs
hatpin and a native ornament
CINCE hats increase their width.
~ Fashion holds that sleeves,
too. may increase in proportions.
The long sleeve, by the way. Ia q
result of the ever-increasing de-
sire for flowing draped lines. We
must commend the practical way
in which the mode allows itself
so many Transformations. And
while the sleeve reigns supreme
let the economical fashion-seek-
ers rejoice! Three pairs Of sleeves
are enough to make a single
dress look like three different
dresses. Since there is such a
vast variety of sleeves, they may
not only be different in color, but
in shape. They may be wide
flowing. ornamental sleeves, or
caught in at the wrist. or slit
open on the arm and caught at
regular places with jewel but
tons. And the same dress with
out sleeves at all. but with the
addition of a girdle OF flowers
and fruit, may be worn rs a din.
ner gown, since a very moderate
decoilete is admitted even at a
very elegant soiree. But that 10
not all. The sleeves may also
serve with a serge dress and a
modish little sack coat would make
the ensemble complete for town
wear. Its medium bell sleeves
revealing the contrasting sleeves
caught in at the wrist.
SMART accessories enjoy good
deal of attention in this season
OF many whims and modes, and
since details are OF the utmost i'm
portance, gloves are by no means
of small import. From the fairy
tale past, from the colonial ages,
from the days when pirates sailed
the seas. from the pirates own
costume the creators OF fashion de-
rive inspiration. The up-to-date
glove, with its wide. turned-back
cuff. Is typical of the picturesque
pirate that pops out Of old story
books.
This glove. by the way, bids fair
to popularity. along with the other
sports accessories that nre a vital
part of the present mode. The
glove is developed Of kid, in black,
white. or brown. The deep turned.
back cuff is stiff and features a
smart contrasting stripe. A black
and white stripe trims the black or
the white glove. and q brown and
tan stripe cuff tops tho brown
glove.
Smart gloves for dress wear
have unusually shaped tops. Lans-
burgh & Brother are displaying
some novel ones, with pointed
cuffs and fancy double straps that
fasten at the wrist. Contrast not
only prevails In footwear, but il
also a prominent feature of gloves.
An inserted design in q contrasting
color on the cuff and crochet trim

cidedly up.to-date.
