Style in Hats Swings
to More Sedate Models

Gone is the rakish headpiece which
was so popular a year ago: extinct.
or almost so, is the flip brim hat,
and extant, very nlucl, so, is the
curl brim.
Style trends during the past year
indicated that the free and easy
informally of snap brim headgear,
which was primarily designed for
equally informal sportswear, was des-
tined to fall before the more proper
curl brim fashion. It's reasonable.
too, this change; for styles are be-
coming more tracing IN suits and
clothing, and deviation from the
distinctly shapeless sack suit to the
form tracing designs Of today neces-
stated the deviation in hats also.
This doesn't necessarily. indicate
that suits are going to become "high-
waisters" of the war vintage-but
we're talking about hats.
Darker Grays and Tans
Predicted as tavorites for fall and
winter of 1927 are tans and grays
in darker tones. These hats are soft
the crowns being either straight or
tapering,. with welt or bound edges.
Aid while the flip brim is officially
passe, many men still retain a fond
ness for the style, and it is a safe
surmiSe that they will still be seen
on some men for more formal business
and day wear.
Enter the HOmburg
The close set Homburge already has
been adopted by Princeton men and
students ION other campuses are also
taking to this chubby model. Now,
however, the business man will take
to it, although he will wear a |
more modified style. Forecasts show
the slew but steady march of the
derby, both westward and southwark.

BOYS TOGS ARE
BEING CHANGED

Again the style dial has swung
round on boys clothing. Knickers,
SO popular last spring, are now as
definitely passe as Lord Fauntleroy
suits and Buster Brown collars.
The collegiate note is being struck
with golf suits and plus fours mot
to be confused with the nearly extinct
nickers. Fer boys of IL to II the
golf suit is prescribed, and for the
older boys, those of IA to Is, plus
four are the correct mode in trousers.
Of course, boys tall for their age
r1ay adopt the styles of an older
classification.
Tans and Greys
Partisans of light colors will not be
sorry to learn that by wearing tans
and greys they will be following the
fashion.

Little Tots Are Given
Attractive Costume s

Even though little girls are very
very little, they do not want to
appear so; and ever willing to appease
the Whims of the very little person,
the designers have certainly gone out
of their way to make the modes

Materials Important
The little school girl may choose
her wardrobe from any number of
materials. Plaids are outstanding, and
vclVeteens is smart. French serge
much finer and lighter than hereto
fore is again introduced in smart,
little dresses for school wear.
Serge frocks are strictly tailored,
depending on bright colored trim

to their appearance.

such as dutoned, striped and many

not to be wondered at, since all rose
tones are so becoming to nearly every

Coats, like the dresses, follow the
style of the elders Shawl collars are
most prominent; and unusual pockets

features.

GLASS comes
BACK TO FAVOR
WITH PEWTER

OF the three materials, glass and
pewter are being revived after a
long period of slllrnber, Brass has
always been a favorite in many
forms, and for many uses, and will
doubtless continue to be used in
definitely.
Pewter is the one material that
has undergone the most thorough
going revival. This is due to interest
in antiques in general and American
in particular. Collections of colonial
pewter are hobbies with some, who

pensive taste. Genuine colonial pieces

in museums for the most part. Copies

and even finer finish, due to a surel.
understanding of the combination of
metals that is called pewter.
Many Things in Pewter
Lamp bases desk sets, porringers,
bowls, candlesticks all are being
done in pewter. tea service is of
real use to the housewife, combining
its charm of soft finish with not too
great expense.

with silver. Pots and cream Jugs

to hear that nearly all suits will have
two pairs of trousers. This sensible
idea is one which effects considerable

heartily Endorsed the plan as a move
in the direction of economy and eff

I'VE are reliably informed that the
reason for the delay Is because of the
fact that the manufacturer has had
considerable difficulty in manufacture

has delayed delivery in the hope that
market conditions would permit him
to purchase the necessary steel at a
price which would enable him to make
at least his expenses. The tags for
