Spring Hats Blossom Forth
Bv EPsIE KINARD

NEW YORK.-Spring trend fore
cast by bright ew bonnets -
blooming for the holidays lik e
cut-of-season flowers indicates
that lot Of hat, which put MILL
merry through big revolution in
the fall, is settling down into
headpiece of modified size.
But judging from showings of
leading stylists, winter-into-spring
hats are not yielding an inch when
it comes to spangles, yelling, en-
brCidery, feathers, flowers or col
or-and, more often than not, a
lot of color daringly mixed for one
dsuntless head. If anything, new
bonnets will be more coquettish,
extravagant and dressed up than
their fall predecessors.
Because the neat head - either
kept tidy with a net or chignon
has caught on, you can expect
to see not only more turbans and
toques that clinch the effect, but
fancier headpieces in this type Of
millinery. At the lower left is a
side-draped turban which you are
going to see a lot of because it
has a silhouette which has proven
to be flattering to most women.
The model pictured Of white faille,
embroidered with gold oak leaves
outlined with black, is designed to
make girl stepping out for the
holidays look as regal as rajah
in her brand-new headpiece. At up
per right is a toque gone festive
in pale pink satin, paved top OF
Il jewelled stones and an extrava.
gantly Topped visor veil
AS springtime in feeling as they
are festive in mood are hats that
sprout fowers-lilies of the valley
violets, roses - such as the two
models shown below. Reminiscent
of Helleu, French portrait painter
Who insisted that feminine subjects
wear lovely bonnets, is the res.
taurant hat pictured at left which
combines striped blue and white
satin and wreath of pale pink
and yellow roses. Keyed to t h {
same festive mood is the party
topper at the right-a CONNECTION o.
