PARIS, March 81.
TINE only thing that can be new
in millinery is the modern
manner of reviving the old, and
l. whenever you hear of new
shapes you know very well
people are only talking Of something
| you have seen for years upon years,
but that some one has perhaps found
a fresh way of wearing so that it bears
more evident relationship to the
times. How many hat shapes are
there? Few when you really come to
consider them: the sailor, turben, be-
ret, cloche, wide-brimmed, canotier,-
| still, out of these limits the new hat
styles must be created year upon year,
and you may not be surprised to hear
that our resourcefulneSS Is sometimes
dangerously near an end.
Each modiSte has some favorite
| shape that occupies the place of honor
in a collection. Some will make most
| ly turbans, others cloche-shaped mod
els, or some other style that predomi-
mates in the showing; for me it is the
, beret, shape that has been popular
for many seasons and still has as
many possibilities as in the beginning.
One beret, while old, is undeniably
new. The falling movement over the
eyebrow of a creation in black picot
brings into charming visibility the
fancy trimming in fiat lacquered
ostrich.
THE small hat remains and its vogue
is nowhere near the end. But
| freshness must characterize the manner
in which the hats are worn and like
wise their trimming. These are the
two features that have most often
1<vix 1ix1ny Ifefsy I'D
| den glimpse Of an unexpected detail
that still is not flamboyant nor con-
| spicuous is the most charming trim
ming a hat can have. Whatever other
hats most often have for trimming is
! precisely what you should make it a
rule not to have on yours.
As soon as the first robin has chirped
you Just know flowers are going to run
rampant on hats everywhere; as soon
as the first frost gives tang to the
air, you may be sure feathers will be
commonplace mode, which is not mode
at all. If you can make something of
feathers or fur that will look good in
Spring it will look all the more distin-
guished. Do not be afraid of original
ity, for that is exactly what the buyers
of original models in Paris pay the
the biggest prices for. If they were
getting copies they would not pay nearly
so much. Why then do you prize the
less valuable and favor it over the more
valuable?
Matched accessories are now a
threadbare resource for fashionably
inclined women. Sets have been over
done. 1t is far smarter to be able to
assemble different things that were
not made together and unite them with
such artful and elegant taste that they
end up by looking better together than
If they had been conceived and exc
cuted by the same manufacturer.
THE Oriental note is having big sue
cess. Turbans in the Oriental
manner are being ordered by a number
OF clients for early Spring wear; these
may be in any one of great variety
of types, for, as any book showing il
lustrations Of the various turban- forms
worn in the East will show you. these
run into the hundreds actually
Yedda and crinol are two new
straws that have been sponsored by
several prominent Partisan society
ladies and are being shown in various
salons. Brocades feature Persian,
Turkish and Arabian designs. The COL
ors employed in these lands are CORE
spondingly popular; lacquer red, and
its sister-shade, tomato red, turquoise
and various mysterious blues, black
and white are frequently seen.
That your hat be becoming Is most
