Since dresses and coats are so fabulous this season, especially with their full skirts, the predominating note in accessories is their small size, at least in comparison. There are no really large hats, for these would look like too much with wide skirted dresses, pyramid shaped coats. Jewelry on the other hand is about as fabulous as the fabrics In new clothes. Trimmings must be luxurious, luxu-rious, too, for they are worn right with elegant materials. Bags, shoes and furs have about them a luxurious look, but this comes from the materials used rather than the size.

The leading contender for head interest is the profile type, either in the cap or the upturned brim shape. This extends well down over one ear but it shows more of the front hairline than in past seasons and is often lifted at the front. . I In the cap or turban style of hat, the front center is frequently cut away so as to show about two inches of hairline. Sometimes, this hat, too, will sit further back on the head, depending de-pending upon which way It looks best on each individual The pillbox Is another popular hat of the season, but the new ones have more hat than the old, more width at the top sides, and more depth than in past seasons. Color, texture and trimming are far more Important than in past seasons. To keep pace with the fabulous fab-ulous fabrics of dresses and coats, there are ostrich feathers, simulated simulat-ed aigrettes, rhinestone, pearl and sequin ornaments.

All-Jeweled hats or felt hats with an elaborate jewel side or front center trimming Is a big factor in dressy styles.

They can be cut high or low and are trimmed with a scallop, scal-lop, for example, which works into a filigree pattern. More sophisticated sophisticat-ed oxfords are cut high, made in suede with a piping of black patent leather. Smooth spectators have overlays in abstract shapes and combine calf with suede and satin with faille. For afternoon and evening wear, arch straps and arch bracelets are both new and also popular. Arch bracelets cross the arch of a shell shoe like a separate braclet, placed midway between ankle and calf. Arch straps run up the arch in an Inverted V shape.
