HE winter season is on the , wane, not only so far as hats Bg are concerned, but in every : department of dress.r We are tired of the frocks and coats that have given valiant service for many weeks, and seek any excuse at all for new apparel, Our first con- - cession to the weary wardrobe is a hat, and where we would have (chosen felt a year ago we now choose straw, or at least a com- bination of straw and fabrio. Not that felt shows any signs of Josing its popularity, for it does not. Just the old" theory that novelty is the spice of life, and straw is that novelty after months of winter hat materials. And the search for the new hat will reveal many interesting things that have to do with line and trimming and a general changed aspect that naturally appears during the mid- season months. Spring hats have ways of their-own. ! Certain questions must be de- cided over again with every new mode, and with millinery in mind | we present those questions. Will | hats be large or small or a com- | ; promise between the two? Will [ the brimless hat continue in favor, or will the hat with a brim take precedence? What of fabrics, and trimmings and crowns, and the ways thereof? And what of colors, i! both in relation to the costume and to each otHer in the hat itself? Continuing The Small Hat If we could see ahead into the | summer months we would, un- | + AMoubtedly, find a very great many large hats, for summer suns bring them out as a matter of course. But we are concerned with spring, not summer, and the weeks that precede the actual spring season. In a general way the situation is unchanged, so far as size is con- cerned, the small hat the pre- ferred. one, and the hat with a medium brim attracting some at- 'y w to change, strange.--Ea# tention. . If there is just a bit of a trend toward the hat with a brim, it is not strange. But the woman whose profile makes the close, 8 brimless hat a very smart thing ™ 1s not going to give it up. As a result the displays are about evenly divided, the brimmed models going to all lengths to achieve the dif- ferentness that {is essential to smartness. If a judgment is pos- sible, so early in the season, hats are more becoming. Perhaps this latter statement needs a little qualification, for coming models than those we have enjoyed this season. They have been, to say the least, a bit un- usual, and when not exactly "right" for the wearer, they have also been most trying. It has depended upon the patience in selection, as well as the judgment, of the wearer, and Luc: 2 Fave heen hath suwocesass and failures. Factors In The Final Oholce The right hat must be found by studying the various models from every angle. Certain rules must be followed, and the round crown or the small crown; the wide brim, or the narrow brim, or the hat with no brim at all must be care- fully considered for the individual interested. And the color, while it must bear a definite relation to the costume color, must be one that is becoming to the wearer, as well. There is every indication that color will take precedence over line and color, this coming season. The more vivid tones, popular with the dull-hued fur coat, will be re- placed by the duller, less vivid shades that are effective, in a less spectacular way, and have soften- ing tend 1 These shades are called, for want of a better name, muted shades, and are used alone, or for purposes of color contrast. Right at the moment there seems to be a flair for the hat of straw trimmed with felt. Sometimes there are -godets or bits of fulness let into the brim, or sectional pieces let into the crown, or appliques of the felt against the straw. A tiny close hat has a huge flower ap- pliqued on one side, the petals coming well down over the ear, and the use of two colors as navy and parrot green, brown and brioche, favored. Trimmings Are Again Favored You need have no apprehension concerning this statement, for fit does not mean the return of the hat that is heavily laden with plumes and bows and the other decorative {eatures of the Victorian age. But it does%Ymean that there is a wee feather, now and then, or a more generous use of some trim- ming fabric. The tendency to trim the close hat on one side, and over the ear, is a spegial feature, The turban is coming in for a just popularity, and it is smartest when made to one's individual or- der by the skilled fingers of some gifted designer.

Definite lines divide the | one from the other, these lines drawn by color and material, the Zeneral silhouette, and the acces- sories which include millinery and footwear, jewelry, handbags and 'handwedr. Each to its own kind is the rule when it comes to as- sembling and completing the en- semble. . El Novelty wools, the ever-popular tweeds, knit fabrics and silk and wool mixtures are favored .for sportswear, and when silk is the choice, it has boldness in (ts j{primed pattern, even a touch of 'ithe modernistic. There are sev- eral ensemble types in sportswear, so -that one may choose an outfit with a jacket, or a long coateven compromise between the two--a (Sureo-quarters or seven-eighths jength affair approved. '" From this type the jacket en- semble sprung, and if, today, we have a jacket-suit vogue, as we undoubtedly do, then we owe it to the sports mode.

Fabrics or the tailored leathers make the bags and footwear, the latter Ox- ford type or with a low heel. Gloves are slip-on or one-clasp fashion, of washable calf or doe skin, and there is a special type of jewelry for this ensemble. Bilk triangles or scarfs belong. Daytime clothes are divided into| height. formal and informal, the latter just a step removed from sports clothes. The light-weight wools and feather-weight tweeds are pre- ferred, crepe de chine or flat crepe in the solid colors or in a small, allover print, and there are nu- merous fabric combinations to be found in the ensembles of this type. The silhouette in this type of ensemble is very similar to that of the sports mode, and there is a choice in the length of the coat, as there is between the one and the two-piece model. A frock of ENSEMBLE and in this mode, as in the sports, the hemline ir regular, and there are .suggestions of the tailored type. Feminine touches abound 'n both. The felt hat, the one of belting ribbon or novelty braid, or the tai- lored straw hat are correct, and the latter points to spring, reliev- ing the monotony of fit. The soft leathers, as glove and antelope, are handbag choices and handwear is of the tailored type in short or slip-on models. The Oxford and strapped slipper, In reptilian leath- er, patent or kid, are the footwear choices, the heels conservative in As we pass on to afternoon and evening things we find them de- cidedly intricate and much more feminine and sophisticated. There are more sheer fabrics and silken coats in the former, and the sil- houette takes on the uneven hem- line that is most decidedly so, éven for formal daytime wear. Solid color tricotines, reps, chiffons, Georgettes and flat crepes, or ma- in small prints are gener- ously featured in this type.

One of the newest lines that is written with the brim of an all felt hat or a straw hat with a felt brim, is the brim turned off the left . profile and turned down to sharply silhouette the right pro- file, a very becoming effect.

Mention must be made of the jacket that accompanies » mony of the afternoon and evening dresses, making the Jlormer into the latter by removing the little coat. It should be noted that jewelry throughout the daytime in- clines to choker sffects, althou there are pendants on slend chains for the woman who finds the choker unbecoming. Xonger strands are effective in the eve- ning and there is a flair for rosette jewelry. Handbags grow more ornate as the day advances, and the bag of fine antelope wears a gorgeous catch, and the evening bag glitters with beads or crystals, or is made of a rich material. Short evening] wraps abound, and it is worth your notice that the very long eve- ning glove has returned to favor. Shoes are more elaborate and 'heels are higher, this being one accessory where color is of the utmost importance and beauty. Footwear planned for immediate wear, although it will be quite as smart when spring comes, is made of snakeskin.
