Despite Priori+ies
Hats Are Gay

DON'T LOOK now, but
priorities have caught up with
us. That--and immediately
means simpler suits and frocks,
plain shoes, smaller handbags.
But hats, bless 'em, viii be
gayer than ever.
For ii doesn't take forbidden
materials--or much of any ma
terial--to make a hat. What
1t takes is a dash of color, a
good line, and a good idea.
Here are four new ones,
spotted in Hollywood recently,
all OF these hats easy to copy.
Peggy Drake, inspired by the
flower headdresses she wears in
The Tuttles Of Tahiti" has
discovered that hats can be
created with a beanie, several
bright flowers.
She fastens the posies along
one edge OF the beanie, wears
Ii so the posies appear just back
of her pompadour. A crisp
square of perky yelling doesn't
hurt Ii a bit.
Peggy's favorite - she was
wearing IL at lunch at the
Brown Derby recently-is a pair
of yellow roses on a brown
cap. all with a crisp brown suit.
Another clever hat, easily
copied. is the one Paulette God
dard is wearing with a cotton
sports frock. It's not a hat
at all, really, but a snood Of
straw-like cord, with tiny spring
flowers fastened in the mesh
and clustered thick at the nape
Of the neck.
