cock them up on the side, but why
not have a change?
For the college girl, who enjoys
q sport hat for general wear, there
are provided smart-looking close
hats with narrow brims that have
new trims and stitchings In both
felt and velvet they are now being
shown, and the prices begin at
$395.
THE tricorne is with us again after
an absence of some seasons. 1t
Is smart hat for Fall suits Shown
in dark blue with narrow grosgrain
ribbon bows and tuck of the felt through
the center of the crown, it is an in
teresting arrival. Hats with one nat
ural colored feather standing up at
the back of the crown are appearing.
They are good for the person who
wants to add a little height to her
figure. A group of beige felts and
velouis is pleasing in narrow and
wide brimmed sailors with self-col-
cred bands or brown. One of these
sketched shows the new back-feather
trim.
While looking at the hats we came
upon a lovely display of sunmery
yellow frocks in crepe with access
series TO match. Yellow patent
leather for a handbag isn't bad at
all. In fact it is awfully nice, with
little STRAPS of brown and a big
round brown knob for a fastening.

has a dropped shoulder line with
4-inch pleated rufie to cap the
upper part of the arm. This rufie
extends across the front of the blouse,

upper and lower edge, so that it makes
a banding instead of ruffie. The
same pleating is made into patch

few general fashion notes may
not be aniss at this in-between sea-
son. Fashion news tells us that the
coming year will continue and even
emphasize the sort of frock that fits
like the paper on the wall In both
daytime and evening styles the
shoulders. waistlineS and hips must
be smoothly moulded. Figure and
fabric are the two important things
that will achieve this result. There
will be very little or no trimming on
these dresses, which means a we'll
corseted figure and one that is not
too thin. A well-rounded figure is
said to have the advantage this year.
Following out this idea of SIM
plicity is the monastic frock of
black with high neck and small
white collar, long sleeves widening
out at the wrist with white bands.
plain or tunic skirt and cord-lke
girdle. This may be worked out
in number of ways and always
makes for elegance and a dramatic
quality.
HE japanese influence also gives
us simplicity, and although we
saw much of it last season it will
continue with us this year. The
square width at the shoulders is still
noted as good. mandarin and kimono
fashions of sleeves are good and
slsshed skirts also.
There is an effort to focus atten-
ton on the waistline and lower it
somewhat, as for instance. extending
the bodice below the waistline and
the belt placed normally. Or there
may be folds of the material to finish
and accent the extended bodice The
belts, however, will hardly be found
below the natural waistline.
Skirts with back fullness are mem
toned for Fall promotion in daytime
as well as evening models. This
means back kick pleats. panels and
shirred sections, allowing the front
and sides to remain plain, slim and
smooth.
