Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-08

a John Frederics veil Mar
garet Truman wore with her
Fontana bridal dress when
she was married to Clifton
Daniel. A wedding day photo
signed by her hangs on the
wall by the elevator along
with those of other famous
personalities who wear his
hats.
Mr.. Fred Frederics (the
John part of the label is
leftover from a partnership
with Mr.. John also of hat
fame) told us that when his
friend. Christian Dior, recent
ly asked him if there was
anything that he could do
for him in Paris he answered
"yes." Show hats with your
evening things" he re-
quested.
Even without the Paris
endorsement many's the New
York milliner doing just that.
Little caps. turbans, jeweled
and feathered fancies point
up the strong trend toward
the little hat for dinner and
evening.
To date we've seen the hats
of Emme. Sally Victor, Lad
die Northridge and John
Frederics.
Fashions report card for
the fall is full of BIS and F's
for them according to our
grading.
Berets E. bloused crowns
beads brown and
black together and as an
accent in the fur category,
the boa of the long haired fur
clutched closely around the
neckline.
With big collars coming in
milliners feel a return to the
little hat is coming again.
The biggest F is for fur.
Every fur-bearing animal is
getting the treatment
foxes American broad
tail :. mink and all the
fake furs you can imagine.
Newest millinery look in fur
is the beret. In white mink
with a black crepe dress It's
the luxury look personified
broadtail and lace is
another hat combination to
look for
Landslide Hats
Landslide Hats" is now
what La d die Northridge
terms his to-one-side mil
linery. We understand
from him the United States
Government is planning
shortly to send some Ameri-
can fashions abroad. For
this group he has done some
turbans in the Near East
vein using fabulous fabrics
OF metallic brocades. satinS.
velvets and feathers.
Most hats will sit smack on
the back of your head this
fall. There are scads Of artist
beret silhouettes African
caps as interpreted by Sally
Victor in lush red and green
velvets and the new fabric in
millinery-crepe-also score.
Draped and indented, they
stay anchored via expandable
knit wool or jersey bands.
Nearly all milliners are
travel-conscious. We haven't
heard one miss the opportu-
nifty to demonstrate the nom
cruShable qualities of their
hats verbally and with ges-
lures.
Returning to fashions ia
vor apparently are wells
many are to be seen.
AS the color wheel spins
the forecast is for Picasso
bright colors from Sally Vic
tor in bright reds. sapphires,
blues Of all hues, and green
in the sagebrush variety and
Of the hunter green cast. -.
Appendices on hats de-
served mention. Emme,
preoccupied with Spain right
down TO a lace face maSque,
also has colts similar to those
painted by Velasquez and
Goya. She likes her moorish
caps with tassels hanging
down. In black or brown
satin with silk tassels the
little caps look very new.
In white satin with a
willow" tassel it's something
TO see. The draped cap is a
signature this season with
Emme. The dramatic
large Spanish sailor Of black
velvet right down to the red
rose placed on 1t is another
Emme Spanish fashion
thought.
At this showing one also
evaluates how the models
are dressed to show of the
hats. Here the sobriety OF
Spain scores in black and
brown silk shirtwaists.
The models hairdos designed
by John Bernard were called
