Wednesday, March 14, 1923 THE ORANGE To Top the Mode with by Muriel Mertens It is often said—and quite truly—that you can always tell when a woman is wearing a new hat by the graffited expression on her face. With a new hat she feels well dressed, no matter how old and shabby her frock or her coat may be. And a smart hat really does set off the costume as well as the face, marvelously. But perhaps the newest idea is to have a hat which is suitably and appropriate with the rest of one's costume. In fact, the real secret of being well dressed is the ability to wear things that go well together and are becoming to you. The woman who has very few costumes, but makes them complete by having her hat just perfectly suited to her frock and her shoes gloves and hosiery in perfect things we have and of which we are this, it is becoming and the sales lady is clever—we are lost and buy it without further thought. But this really is not necessary, for never before have we been offered such countless varieties and variations of the millinery mode. Smart Street Wear For street wear the little felt Generally the crown of the cloche is high and is either rounded or cone shaped. But in the brim and in the trimming the variation is infinite. One smart little model has a narrow front that it resembles a bonnet and in the back it goes to the other extreme and turns up so abruptly that it is flat to the crown of the hat. It is trimmed with a fuzzy little pomp against the crown, point the right shoulder is a Frequently one will sew bon cockade sewed flat of that hat.

Still other styles of the cloche will be turned-up in the front and an extremely narrow brim turned down in the back. When this is the case a fluffy little pompon will be seen clinging closely to the right cheek. Stiff Felts in Vogue A very unusual combination has recently come into great vogue with these stiff felt hats. A narrow binding of silver or gold on the edge of the brim and sometimes a band of this same cloth around the crown. The felt hats of any of the many shades of gray are trimmed with turn-down brim, and an uncurled ostrich plume which started at the middle of the back of the crown and gracefully under the charming wearer's chin. Almost every feather used line. Frequently one will see an ostrich feather plucked so that the feathery part is just a little pompon at the end. Strange unbeard of birds, if they have long, curving feathery tails, are also quite at the height of the mode. Modes of the Large Hat When the large hat is worn it is usually very large, sometimes with the brim much wider in back than in front. And where a woman finds a large hat more becoming she may quite properly select one. One large black hat was trimmed with a band of silver ribbon which fell through a slit in the brim in two large loops over the right ear. Many a gracefully draped veil is used in this same manner. In fact, this tendency of all trimming to go to the right was carried out to such an extent by one smart Parisian that she wore a long sinuous earring on the right ear only, leaving the left ear quite unadorned. It hardly seems likely that many Americans will carry this fashion to such an extreme but it does show how strong this tendency is. However, these large hats do not as yet enjoy the popularity of the smaller one. And though they may burst into highest favor any day, it is heardly possible that the fashion will continue for long. With the soft, dainty summer dresses the hat is usually softer, though there may be a little stiffening in the brim. It is a very charming fashion; too, to keep our stiffer hats for our more tailored costume. And a soft crushed little model is so lovely with a dainty dress. Evening Hat to Return It is rumored that the evening hat, which has been absent, so long, is returning to high favor. It is really quite a natural development when one stops to thing about it. Bandeaux have been growing wider and more elaborate than ever. So some clever milliner just put a tulle top on a wide bandeau and the evening hat was in vogue. And after it had gone that far naturally little tulle brims were added. This does not mean that the bandeau is going out. Just the opposite. For the wider and more elaborate the bandeau that is worn with a formal frock, the smarter costume. It just shows our tendency to wear some sort of head covering at every possible moment. Still other styles of the cloche will be turned up in the front and an extremely narrow brim turned down in the back. When this is the case a fluffy little pompon will be seen clinging closely to the right cheek. Stiff Felts in Vogue A very unusual combination has recently come into great vogue with these stiff felt hats. A narrow binding of silver or gold on the edge of the brim and sometimes a band of this same cloth around the crown. The felt hats of any of the many shades of gray are trimmed with silver cloth, while those of brown favor the gold. In these little hats, dark blue and black are conspicuous by the absence. For sports wear this felt mode is quite the most popular. The shape is just the same as the street hat, but the trimming is much more simple. The soft felt hat which may be modeled to the wearer's every mood is just right for sports wear, though it is not worn with a street frock. Hats for Afternoon Wear With the hat to be worn with an afternoon frock feathers are in high favor, but invariably they are turned down and reach far below the brim of the hat. The crowns of those hats are so generally rounded and cone shaped that a square crown is quickly noticeable, though they do make their appearance now and then. A lovely little hat worn at a very fashionable tea recently had a small quite a natural development when one stops to thing about it. Band-eaux have been growing wider and more elaborate than ever. So some clever milliner just put a tulle top on a wide bandeau and the evening hat was in vogue. And after it had gone that far naturally little tulle brims were added. This does not mean that the bandeau is going out. Just the opposite. For the wider and more elaborate the bandeau that is worn with a formal frock, the smarter costume. It just shows our tendency to wear some sort of head covering at every possible moment. This desire for headgear is certain to last while the bobbed heads are growing, for it solves many a problem of hair dressing. And the person to whom the simple smooth style of collarure is unbecoming—and unfortunately there are many such—is Tis Spring in California and Gaily Turns to Thou AGAIN WE ENTER THAT JOYOUS SESSION PLANS TO LOOK HER VERY PRETTY THE MIND OF EVERY FASHION LOOK SIRE TO CHOOSE FROM THE TEMP AND SUITS AND HATS AND COATS WHICH SUIT HER BEST.

Vells Winning Favor The veil is enjoying high favor this season and quite deservedly. On a windy, blustery day of early spring how trimly smart and dashing is the wearer of a veil. And how great is her composure when she knows that her hair is not stringing about her face but is just as it was when she last peeped into a mirror. The graceful folds of the draped lace veil seen so often in the afternoon are very flattering, too. And countless are the ways in which such a veil may be draped. A gold veil covering the crown of a brown hat and falling in loops close to the face would surely be a prized addition to any wardrobe. Or a small hat may allow its veil to hang straight down in the back, but be draped up a little under the chin. This slight draping is held in place by pins placed close to the edge of the veil. Where these veils are worn the hat is very plain and without any other trimming. The veil itself is very elaborate. It may be beautifully figured at the edge or of some delicate light color. Finely Pleated Kasha Cloth There is a little grace about finely pleated Kasha gloth, which makes it particularly suitable for our more active hours. In white, gray or a soft tan, worn with the vividly patterned blouses or sweaters, it makes a costume which will be seen frequently at the most fashions country clubs. And as beautifi... lined as the rainbow are the figured silk crepe skirts, fashion's latest creation. Of course, these are particularly lovely with the single tone blouses. The new wool or silk-and-wool skirts are severely distinguished by unusual button hole loops and pocket, and now and then drawn work. Handkerchief Completes Wardrobe But no mention of the sports costume is even half begun until one has heard all about the handkerchief—for in all verity it has seized the most important place in our wardrobe. The more gaudily colored the handkerchief's newest form—the smarter they are. Some are tied loosely about the neck in true cowboy fashion with the knot in front or on the shoulder. Others deftly knotted about the hips form a fascinating girdle for a long waisted frock.
