Paris I Iats Crown New Fitted Mode

Paris, Oct 12-Hat styles are of all styles the most evancscent. Although last year modstcs seem ed to concentrate all their attention on pcrfcctly-fitting crowns, there is the same effect this season with an entirely different result.
 To begin with, most of the new hats have brims turned sharply back off the fac" and showing, not only the entire forehead, but an inch or two of hair.
 By contrast the nape is very sharply Outlined, with brims extend inS in manner of friil from ear to ear, the latter, my the way, being very studiously hidden. This is the general theme on which such niver- sally known modistes as Reboux, Lewis, Lemonnicr, Agnes, Camille, | Roger, Jane Blanchot and others have established their winter collcc- tionS.
 Hats Modelled to Head
 The principal quality of a model hat is it's suppleness. Even in the wide brimmed hats that Patou created for his formal afternoon gowns, both crown and brim are 1 devoid of any stiffcnng and the lat | ter can be drapcd close to the head according to the Wearer's fancy. As q matter Of fact, to insure pcrfec- | tion in q hat this season, it must be draped and modcled on each indi- vidual head.
 In spite of all these important changes a studied simplicity is still the keynote Of chic, even in the drcssier type of hat. The ensemble idea prevails to q certain extent: hats must harmoniZc with the dress by an absolute match in coloring. It becomes therefore, l almost an obligation thA season to | possess a hat to go with every dress, unless the ubiquitous black hat is re- sorted to. Black has the added ad- vantage of being both fashionable and completing successfully the most 1 formal toilette.

 The short circular veil with q chenille edging just reaching to the tip Of the nose seems to be spon sored by the very young woman and, in many cases. it is worn thrown

 with perfect skin and more than the
 average good looks.
