Large Hats
Styles Which Meet Re-
quir e M n $ for
Heads Above the,
Average in Size May
Be Found Attrac-
tive Empress Eu-
genie and Vatican
Types Are Espe-
cially Satisfying.

TINE milliners no longer penalize
the woman with q large head.
Nor do they ignore the fact that
II thousands of women are letting
their hair grow and therefore
demand a somewhat larger head size
than they did when they had 1t trinity
shorn. To be sure, there Is q dennlte
advantage from the fashion point OF
view in having head OF the smaller
sort and crowns are not spacious
enough to dispose Of q too abundant
chignon. But there are ways OF over
coming the difficulty that cid not exist
q year or two ago.
Just because you require fairly large
head size do not feel that 1t Is neces-
sary to buy one Of the matronly type
Of hats that are made with dome
like crown. There are women VINO SUI
demand such hats-but they are out o.
the picture in this season Of shallow
crowns and have no special advantage
-
HATS of the Empress Eugenie and
watteau type are especially salts
factory in large sizes because they give
the impression Of q small hat and have
the advantage of o bFim. By . skillful
arrangement Of the folds or draping OF
the crown a too ample depth or oreadtn-
of the crown can be well concealed.
Trimmings of flowers, feathers or rib
bon bows are also helpful.
Dull finished strawS rather than the
shiny sort should be chosen and usually
dark colors rather than light. The,
turban type of hat Is more becoming
in large sizes If the drapery Is un<
evenly arranged with considerably m ore
droop at one side, and with brimmed
hats it is often possible to arrange
bit of trimming flower or ribbon
bow-that will detfact from the size
of the crown.
Flowers are used extensively, but not
quite lavishly, In the new hats. Only
the exceptionally gifted amateur should
ever attempt to arrange flowers on one
Of the new hats. This need not prove
discouraging, for IN almost any store
where untrimmed hats and artificial
flowers are sold you can secure the
services of an expert In attaching now
ers to the hat you choose.
On a doppy hair hat OF the pfofle
sort-brirn wide at the right side and
narrow enough to show the profile at
the left-Soft roses are arranged under,
the narrow brim at the back. The
brin curves down at the back 80 that
the soft flower petals appear TO be
crushed beneath 1t, giving . nattering
line at the nape Of the neck. Then
there are shepherdess hats that turn
up unexpectedly aC the pack 70 teVeal

r
CHARACTERISTIC Of the new Watt,
~ teau hats is the arrangement of
flowers beneath the brtm at the LETT
side. Very small caps Of crccheted
straw or ribbon, worn well back on the
head, are sometimes trimmed with a'
fiat group Of flowers at the left side
that extend down from the hat over
the left ear.
On some Of the new hOppy bFimmed7
garden party hats row OF hve small
roses is arranged on the under ade
of the brim, possibly half inch fronf
the edge. Sometimes one or two roses
are placed beneath the brim on Q hat
Of this description with the same num-
Der of flowers arranged directly over
them on the upper side OF the br1m.
A wreath of small flowers may enctrcie
the entire crown Of WIDE brimmed
hat or the crown may be bound with
ribbon with a soft spray OF MOWERS
dropping down on the brim at the right
side. A smaller hat Of navy blue straw
has q wreath of field howerS-da1sies,
corn flowers and buttercups-that en-
circles the shallow crown.
