The new hats are everything a spring hat should be the most refreshingly refreshing-ly springlike hats that have graced fashion's stage for many a season. In them romance in millinery has been recaptured. The very ecstasy of spring breathes through the flowers that bedeck the pretty straws and through the ribbons and fantastic scarf trimmings on colorful felts and suedes, likewise through the dainty lace and immaculate lingerie trims, new this season, and through the glorified spring colorings and beyond all the final touch of charm is achieved via mists of frivolous whimsical veiling that swirls and whirls and cuts pretty capers throughout the entire picture. You can be as choosy as you like in selecting your spring bonnet. Whether you decide on one of the very new and amusing elfish tall crowns that style the latest models or whether you declare in favor of a crownless type, whether your hat be huge of brim or have no brim at all (flower toques with pert bonbon bon-bon colored veils are quite the rage) whether it be a breton or Gibson girl sailor you choose, or if you are ultra enough to 'want one of the very smart Paris-inspired bonnet types that tie under the chin, no matter mat-ter in what direction fancy leads you, you can't go wrong in fashion's eyes. New in crowns is the postilion. See it pictured in the group to the left above. This model in miniature blue (an attractive blue featured this season) felt is trimmed with contrasting plaid taffeta ribbon and an allover crisp blue veil. Plaids and stripes have invaded the millinery mil-linery world with great display. Hat and bag sets of striking plaids or stripes are among the fetching con- ceits that tune to the enthusiasm shown for high color. Veilings galore are enlivening the millinery scene this spring. The hat without a veil is the exception rather than the rule. In arranging veils you are supposed to do just as fancy dictates, the more whimsical, the more erratic, the more altogether altogeth-er adorably irresponsible so far as following form and conventions, the smarter. Navy is classic for spring suits, coats and dresses. The navy blue hat of chic peach-basket variety shown below to the left in the picture pic-ture is topped oft with a cluster of soft pink ribbon bows nestled inside in-side the top of the crown. A sheer navy veil is draped around the crown with ends flying in the back. This model is also available in other fashionable color combinations. Black hats with colorful accents are an accepted mode for dressy spring wear. The crown of the black felt Watteau, shown above to the right, is sprightly decked with chartreuse and fuchsia flowers. The big bow at the back is of stiff chartreuse char-treuse veiling. With her black lace afternoon dress Hildegarde, glamorous American Amer-ican radio songstress, wears a black felt turban with bright Tuscan straw brim as pictured below to the right in the group. The newer shallow-crowned bre-tons bre-tons stress forward moving slightly rolled brims higher at the back than front as pictured in the inset below. Bouquet Bracelets This charming model is a Pixie green felt with contrasting veil and ribbon band in navy. It is also seen in various other color combinations. combina-tions.
