For Individuality In Hats • t * , • » As a leading authority on smart millinery says: , ' “Many styles are popular. Some are small and others are large and of wonderful hue and shape. “Though loath to confess it, milliners one and all pronounce this a “go-as-you-please” season in hats. View the array of importers and the pronouncement will be that hats most happily have been con jured for fair women—and women need not sacrifice themselves on the altars of any particular style. “Popular is the plumed Gainsborough, the saucy Louis XV., the supurb Lamballe, the severe tur ban, the chic toque and the merry little Peter Pan. The fashions of two centuries have been scanned to produce picture hats, great and diminutive, becoming to every style of womanly good looks, and hats that would necessitate the use of rich materials and bring plumes, quills, flowers, fruits, ribbons and laces to j the making.” But then this seems to be pretty much a “please yourself’ season. There will be all sizes and shapes to choose from, and the correct thing to do is to select that which becomes you. As to color, again choose what becomes you, or matches your gown. Browns have been out of favor long enough to lend a desirable freshness to their return, and mahogany brown, com bined with cress green, a peacock blue or a pink, is particularly chick. > But all black hats must not be forgotten, fir no outfit could be complete without one, and the milliners are making such a lot of them. Fruits for the Trimmings Grapes have had a revival and as a trimming their effect is amazingly varied, for the scintillating brown and green tones make them quite fetching. Other fruits, as rose-hips, thorn apples, chestnut burrs and bitter-sweet berries, with twisted ropes of the new tones in brown and green ribbons, give a modest and artistic result. The variety of fancy feathers is beyond belief and many of them are remarkably attractive, though some are original • and freakish rather than beautiful. • Uncurled ostrich plumes which had a great vogue in Paris during the spring and sum mer have arrived here-in assertive numbers. Used cleverly and with due regard for line they are effective and superb specimens are provided in one-tone colorings, in shaded color ings and in two-toned combinations. , \ . ‘And certainly ’tis of more than passing importance, in a season of such rapid change and varied styles, to keep in close touch with the fountain head of all correct millinery—Paris. But not Paris alone, for there must be nimble fingers and still nimbler brains to.catch these ideas—the trjie spirit of- them—and twist and turn them as they are intended to be. Our Paris connection is perfect, and our own work rooms supplements it as perfectly. One would be valueless to us, and to you, without the aid of the other. / Chamberlin-Johnson-Du'Bose Co. .. - «
