Hats Are Trimmed
with Manv Devices

THE icy hats have trimming
- OF many sorts. or many ma
terials and many styles.
Sometimes perky little flowers
o. matching felt are used. Some
times flowers are used made OF a
thin. glistening composition. Hat
pins and spikes OF colored stones
are the only trimming on some
Of the smart street hats. felt bows
adorn others Sometimes thes
bows are used like Mercury
wings-that is. one In perched al
the edge OF the brim on each side,
and thus used they give the hat
q fiy-away look that Is quite be-
witching.
MORE ribbon Is much used. II
Is often drawn through Sits In
the brim or crown and tied in
dashing little bows.
There are all sorts OF feathers,
OF course Piumes in every stage
OF curledness are used-long ones
that sweep the shoulder. tiny
short ones that stick pertly I'D
from crown or brim.
Then there are wings on some
OF the trim daytime hats. In irf-
descent color. laid rather fat
against the brim.
And pompons. from those an big
as walnuts. in which size they are
used in pairs. TO really big ones.
They need skillful placing To loox
right. but skillfully placed they
are as smart as anything you
can find
Wreaths OF coque that encircle
the hat are another smart trim
ming on some of the new felts,
both black and colored.

TROUSSEAU shopping is

If the trousseau doesn't hap

a young friend of ours-we1l
call her Peggy-asked us to
60 along with her on her ex-
petition, we didn't wait to be

that-as everyone k~new-she
had planned to be married a

ever it was, dwindled and so

And so in bringing up this mat

CALCULATIONS are in order. Brides
OF the autumn of 1881 really are
fortunate.
Presumably there never is a
time in a woman's life when
clothes r more important than
when she Is a bride-nor a time
when she feels justified in buying
so many of them.

wedding dresses should be. But
1t manages to be all these things
without departing at all from the

occasions the bride either had to
choose a short skirted dress that
was out OF keeping with the tradi-

VOU cannot make q silk

But the French dressmak-
ers have done something very
much like it. They have gone
for inspiration to the periods
when in many ways fashions
were at their ugliert. and from
such inspiration they have
%contrived to produce a set of
fashions of unusual charm
and beauty.
Take the Second Empire fash
ions-the clothes and hats and
wraps that women wore An the
days OF the Empress Eugene.
Those fashions were bound and
trammeled by an age OF repros-
sion, OF inhibitions. They were
ugly. Women wore deforming
~c0rsets- Hoops distorted and hid
the graceful lines or the body.
A prudish attitude on thinr~ ~
general hampered clothes q mucn
as manners.
But from that ugly background
the modern dressmaker. who IN
really a great artist has chosen
and taken those details. those
essentials. that are beautiful, and
remodeled them into what We call
Empress Eugene fashions-be-
coming. alluring. charming.
The newer late nineteenth cen-
fury fas lions. too. have been
evolved In the same way. From
the rather ugly originals OF 1880.
1890. even 1900-tight stif fash.
ions IL ever there were any-the
dressmaker artist has evolved
clothes OF real beauty.
From the day OF the hustle. the
tight. high collar. the long. stiK
skirt, have come the lovely adap-
tations of those fashions that we
like 80 well today. In a period
OF freer feeling. OF emancipation
from corsets. from collars. from
prudery and false modesty, We
have worked out what was beau
tiful and desirable In tho-, fash
ions into something new and
modern.

satin, not only because white
satin Is the traditional fabric but
because attn IN one OF the sea
sor's most important fabrics and
lends itself perfectly to the grace

ment OF the accepted fashions.
But to get back to Peggy and
hes ~trousseau expedition. The
really important mater Of the
morning was to select what Peg
e. called her departure costume.
The fret question to settle was
one OF color. That was very i'm
portant because the choice OF
shoes, hand bag and other acces-
series all depended on this i'm
portant decision. Peggy's first
choice was brown and in the end
we did decide on brown not lust
because IL is very becoming to
Peggy's light brunette coloring
but because there are sc man
charming brown costumes and
brown hats and accessories from
which to choose.
But there are ever SO many
colors for the autumn brides
selection, and there is excellent
precedent for the choice Of one
OF the brighter or lighter tones.
Coco precedent also for the COM
bination of two contrasting colors.
An unusual choice for the
going-away costume-but one in
line with the latest fashion de-
velopments - would be prune
color. egg plant wine or n OF

with beiss or brown has much

forest green, grass green and bot
tie green. Among lighter neutral
colors n may consider the pos-
sibilities OF gray and beige

smart for street costumes when
combined lavishly with darker
fur.
Peggy's going-away or depar-
ture costume as she chose to call
IL. consisted Of a two-piece suit
trimmed with fur-brown with an
egg shell blouse. And to wear
with this for motoring she Sc
lected a neutral colored camel's
hair coat made without fur trim

strap pumps with sheer brown
stockings, a brown alligator bag
and light cru gloves yer added
to the list and last Of all a rose

Even in q colorful season like
the present Peggy has a fondness
for black so she chose a black
pony coat. at q reasonable figure
but with all the slim elegance Of
a very high priced wrap. To wear
with this she has p sheer black
wool crepe afternoon dress and
a black satin theater dress
with q small black velvet hat.
