For Individuality
In Hats
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 woinanly good looks, and hats that
would necessitate the use of rich materials and bring plumes, quills, flowers, fruits, ribbons and laces to
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
^he correct thing to do is to select that which becomes you. As
to color, again chbose 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, hr 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 mapy
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 idea^—the true 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.
