Versatile Brims
Feature Chapeaux
Mors Elaboration, Greater
Femininity and Color
Noted in Modes.
The millinery showings for spring
and summer have been entirely com
pleted and while no radically new
themes were introduced, writes a Paris
correspondent in tlie New York Her
ald Tribune, l here was a concerted
move toward more elaboration, great
er femininity and more color than hist
season. Agnes, Rose Valois, Onby
Mono and Jean Patou represent an au
thoritative cross-section of French
modisles and while their various in
terpretations are different, in the main
the undercurrents are strikingly sim
ile r.
Thus chez Agnes a very up-to-date
novelty is the ecru parasisol hat with
a bent brim, uncovering the left side
of tiie face and very short in front and
still smaller in back, and longer at
the ri"lit side than the left. This
model lias a crown belted with a flat
black, beige and brown tweed band
that is fringed across the back, show
ing Just tiie beige threads tied at the
center bade, with a fringed-off scarf.
At Agnes, too, are many natural col
or straw hats as well as a few bright
red and blue straw models. These hats
are made of parasisol and are often
trimmed over tiie brim with a flat,
rather wide, velvet ribbon band that
warms this cold looking straw.
Anew ribbed straw jersey, specially
knitted, is made into .fitted and draped
toques that clear all the lower part
of Hie forehead in front, covering the
right ear and continuing in a round or
pointed effect over (lie neck at tiie
right side. Other new toques are
made of specially woven leaves in
fairly 1 hick and very light straw
braid. Tiie leaves are large, two or
three of them forming one toque.
A Model in Two-Toned Straw. A
Straw-Like Cloth Model With Vel
vet. A Straw Model in Black and
Whi*?.
They are placed diagonally and are
attached together invisibly or under
a standing up ridge placed across the
crown. They are often chosen in such
contrasting colors as black and beige.
A few toques are made of an ancient
ivory Italian straw crown around
which a black satin ribbon is draped
to frame the face.
There are poppy red and grasshop
per green light felt hats trimmed with
small tropical 1 bird's feather motifs
that form standing-out fans or cock
ades. Rlalticolor quills are placed
round the base of the crown on other
models, the quills replacing a ribbon.
Rose Valois is showing some pana
ma hats in natural tones with a fairly
wide, sofl brim for sports wear. Site
also uses light felt for spring. This
felt is chosen in very yellow tints of
red, such as vermilion, and in lumi
nous blue-greens such as emerald.
To accompany street frocks some of
her small dyed bnkou and bangkok
hats have no apparent brim in front,
where they mold the head. Instead
they have, on each side of the turned
up brim at the back, a llared-out move
ment that suggests a bicorn idea or
a spiral coronet.
Belts Finish Blouses
in Modes for Spring
The revival of the tuck-in blouse is
one of those fashion cutbacks over
which the majority of women ponder
for some time, then suddenly are
awakened to the fact that it is being
accepted by friends and foes alike.
That it really is an actuality.
There are veritable tuck-ins and
there still are overblouses, yet the
newest idea is the latter simulating
llie former. Beits of one kind or an
other finish the end of the blouse or
at the very least show that a waist
line is not absolutely nonexistent.
Belts may he a mere genuflection to
ward the waistline, being extremely
narrow, or the blouse itself may drape
into a so<” swathed hipline sometimes
with a tie, but in any event is very
much belted.
Skirts Dip at Back
For the evening silhouette, skirts
dip decidedly at the hack, with much
fullness.
White Blouse Trimmed
in Black; Cape Back
A black-and-white costume bids for
favor for milady’s spring wardrobe.
The white blouse shown in the picture
shews a cape back, while the black
satin skirt is circular. Black hat,
black slippers and white hose com
plete the outfit.
Shoes Should Be Dried
at Room Temperature
This spring’s rage for shoes of all
white leather or with white leather
trim makes it worth while to suggest
that all of the white leathers which
have a suede finish—genuine buckskin
of buck finished cattlehide —should be
cleaned with a bristle brush, swabbed
with the liquid white cleaners which
the market affords and, upon drying
completely, should he brushed lightly
in one direction with the dry brush to
straighten the nap.
Of course there are the standard
warnings that have been handed along
to shoe users front generation to gen
eration: Dry wet shoes slowly at
room temperature and not on a radi
ator or in front of a fireplace; don’t
forget that wet leather burns and
breaks quicker than dry leather, so
don’t put your feet on a steam pipe
that is hotter than the hand can en
dure; the minute you take off a pair
of shoes, put trees in them to make
them dry straight.
There is, however, one more sugges
tion that once was current hut which,
unfortunately, lias died out. Reviving
it today will add length to shoe life:
Oil the soles of every pair of shoes
once a month or so. This applies
not alone to heavy street shoes
but also to dancing slippers whose
soles are only a mere suggestion of
leather. First brush off all dirt and
warm the soles. Then swab across
the bottom of each sole and around
its edge with a cloth soaked in neats
foot or some other animal oil, being
careful not to smudge the uppers.
This feeds the leather and makes the
stitches hold longer.
Summer Sports Prints
Will Be Full of Dash
All summer sports wear prints must
be “young” and fresh-looking to be
flattering. Checks, plaids, stripes, dots
and diagonals are sponsored as hav
ing the right amount of dash for
sportswear, especially when they are
in bright colors and treated in nov
elty asymetric way as well as in the
classic tailored effects. Modernistic
patterns in two or three shades of
bright colors or two intense bright
colors on white or pale grounds are
also reserved to sports wear.
Tlie fact that prints have found new
soils on which to bloom has doubtless
resulted in new treatments of old de
signs, and of anew series of stand
ards of what constitutes a good print.
While crepes of all kinds remain with
us in an infinite variety, there -are
printed linens and cottons galore most
of which found favor during tlie re
sort season, which presages their
summer success.
Hand Bags to Harmonize
With Milady’s Costume
Tlie new hand bags are being fea
tured in leathers and color combina
tions that will harmonize with the
costumes. Tlie designs, too, have
been affected by the recent trends in
both suits and dresses. More detail
is apparent and more than usual at
tention is given to the frames, han
dies and tlie use of applique work.
As regards sizes, the new bags are.
if anything, slightly smaller than those j
of previous seasons, although they i
cannot by any means be called tiny. !
Various versions of the pouch shape, I
new envelope treatments with back |
straps and top strap handles, and the
frameless pouches are noted, as well
as the square-shaped bags mounted
on sturdy frames.
New Hosiery Shades
Among the 11 new hosiery shades I
presented by one prominent house, \
for spring wear to harmonize with
the recently announced shoe and fab
ric colors, are eight belonging to the
tan family, two grays and one soft
blue shade, called lapis.
