We had a chance to talk with
Nine. Dache about these War stamp
corsages the other afternoon and
discovered that she is recommend
ing them not only as lapel orna-
ments but also as smart and pa
triotic hat trimmings! In town to
speak at the Navy Department-Mlle.
Career Clinic the vivacious design
er was full of clever ideas about
millinery for spring and summer.
She believes, for example, that it is
old-fashioned not to wear a hat.
'You used to see college boys going
hatless," said Nine Dache, but to-
day with men looking so neat and
trim in uniform, it's just bad man
ners to be seen without hat"
Moreover, in addition to inspiring
women to wear chapeaux, this de-
signer also feels that men are of
invaluable assistance in the selec-
ton of your spring bonnet. Take
q man with you, if you can, when
you buy a hat" is her advice. Sur
prisingly enough, she has discovered
that men do like mad" hats, and
that often when woman thinks
hat too extreme" a man will think
it's appealing and f1attering. But if
you can't have the best beau tagging
along Nine. Dache urges you to be
very careful in buying your millinery.
Have your hair done in its most be-
coming way, and particularly in the
way you intend to wear it with that
hat. See that the bonnet is perched
on your head at the angle the de-
signer intended-that makes all the
difference between an incongruous
appearance and a chic one. Don't
buy a hat while you're sitting down.
And don't buy a hat, or any article
of dress for that matter, that re-
Guires great deal of fussing and
attention.
Nine. Dache believes that you can
do a great deal of change-about
tricks with simple basic hat. At
the clinic the other evening she
chose a small, unspectacular bon
net and trimmed it with ribbons,
flowers and what-not so that it
managed to play the role of 80
hats in one"
In her new collection she is stress
ing makeup veilings of fine maline.
to give a luminous glow to your
face, safety glitter" hats with Sc
quins to catch every glirnmer of
light in a dimout, little girl" hats
of uneven shapes worn on the back
of the head, hats that half cover,
half expose the hair to achieve that
much-desired neat look. Also fea-
tured is the use of romantic colors
and trimmings, quilted chintz flow
ers cut out, padded and appliqued
on hat and embroidery, crochet
and other handmade touches.
She has set a fashion trend with
her use of scarfs, tiny 'kerchief-
sized ones, or huge empire types
that reach to the hemline. Also
important are the leis of flowers
on ribbons, which may be worn as
necklaces halos or sroods, according
to milady's whim.
Quite a designer is this Lilly
Dache. And quite a realistic per-
sonality as well.
