BrimS Turn

PARIS, Oct. 10.-Hat styles are
of all styles the most e~vanescent.
Although last year modistes
seemed to concentrate all their at
tention on perfectly-f1tting crowns,
there is the same effect this sea-
son with an entirely different re-
suit.
To begin with, most of the new
hats have brims turned sharply
back off the face and showing. not,
only the entire forehead, but IN
inch or two of hair.
By contrast the nape is very
sharply outlined, with brims X
tending in a manner of frill from
a to ear, the latter, by the way,
being very studiously hidden.
Nodded to Head
This is the general theme on
which such universally known
smodistes as Reboux, Lewis, Lemon
nier, Agnes, Camille Roger, Jane
Blanchot and others have estab-
liShed their winter collections.
The principal quality of a model
hat is its suppleness. Even in the
wide-brimmed hats that Patou
created for his formal afternoon
gowns, both crown and brim are
devoid of any Stiffening and the
latter can be draped close to the
head according to the wearer'S
fancy.
AS a matter of fact, to insure per-
lection in a hat this season, it must
be draped and modelled on each in
dividual head.
In spite of all these important
changes, a studied simplicity is
still the keynote of chic, even in
the dressier type of hat.
The ensemble idea prevails to a
certain extent; hats must harmon
ize with the dress by, an absolute
match in coloring.
Hat for Every Dress
It becomes, therefore, almost an
obligation this season to possess a
hat to go with every dress, unless
the ubiquitous black hat is resorted
to.
Black has the added advantage
of being both fashionable and COM
plotting successfully the most formal
toilette.
Where sports ensembles are con-
cerned, an exactly matching hat
must be worn-hence the number
of tweed hats that have been shown
this year.
Felt has been relegated to in
formal wear and velvet and taupes
share honors for afternoon and
formal occasions.
Intricate shirrings and drapings,
such as only the Partisan modiSte
is capable of executing, are a fea-
ture of the soft velvet shapes that
women will soon be wearing.
Beret Effects Used
Exaggerated beret effects are seen
a great deal. Panne velvet is often
combined with velour or taupe felts
and the great novelty of the season
is the use of fiat fur alone or in
combination with felt.
When color is introduced on a
hat this season, it is usually to be
found in the trimming or in in
crustations of a contrasting color.
TaSselS and pomponS Of ostrich
feather, ~aigrettes, crystal pins and
a few feather motifs will. adorn
dresSy hats.
A bunch of rust-red ~aigrettes will
be placed right behind the ear on a
close-htting black velvet shape, OF
against a huge jade green velvet
ribbon of black felt. Fringes o.
tasSels of ermine tails are also new
as trimming.
Turban Has Returned
The wearing of hats again In
the evening at restaurants has
brought about the return of the
turban. These are made of tulle,
satin or velvet and invariably
trimmed with punches of ~aigrettes
or a jeWeled ornament. Clusters of
irideScent or mother-of-pearl flowers
are also seen.
The short circular veil with a
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 back over the crown.
1t rather helps to break the
severity of the new styles that can
really only be worn successfully by
the woman with a perfect skin and
more than the average good looks.
