Seemingly, we have never before had bo many styles of winter hats. There are the large flat effects, broad and . j with low croons; the small ideas with their dainty upturned brims; the me- dium sized hats with the crowns beginning be-ginning to show a higher tendency, together with fifty and one more shapes, each one different from the i other, -and no one more effective than the rest. It is a matter of taste 1 purely a matter of taste and becom- lngness. s The broad brimmed, low. crowned ef- ; feet Ik. nossiblv. cv? of thp most norm- lar of all, and it is indeed a dainty form. The style has been in vogue j now for a considerable while, .but it '. still holds its favor most unmistak- i ably. Even in this style, however, there ,' are innumerable varieties. There are the plateau effects, tlie double style 1 with the plateau underbrim, or may- I be a plateau crown, and sometimes ' both underbrim and crown are of this 1 plateau form. One novel and striking form shows a triple effect in plateau, each one of a different Ehade. ' One of the prettiest of all these 1 plateau ideas, however, is that of an I underbrim in the rjhteau form of 1 scratch felt and the upper brim in ' . velvet. This is particularly striking ' ' when the velvet is in a dark ctlor ' ? or black and the underbrim in a light ' tone, such as cream. 1 i Trimming on such a hat is usually If quite simple and is confined to the ' i lower brim. Beautiful purple grapes 1 ; with foliage to match adorn uch a creation most artistically. Others are ! trimmed with a couple of ostrich j plumes in the back, sweeping down j ; In the Mary Tudor style; still others ' i show these plumes on the left side of I the underbrim. this being turned up I ! slightly. All forms however, are ef- j fective. j Popular and effective as these j j plateau styles are, the most pictur- ' r tsque hat is unquestionably a large ef- 1 feet pn the Gainsborough order. This 1 slyle becomes almost any woman, and ! in its most convenient form. The black I velvet body with ostrich plumes to j match can be worn with any costume ' ' another point decidedly in its favor. ' ! ' But this year milady is not sticking 1 ; to conventional form alone. Not for ' j her. She wants something new and J 1. different; something that is a change . from what she has had, and that will 1 ' be at once as becoming as the velvet i but yet a little newer. Beaver, al-1 al-1 ' though not a new material, is reeeiv- ; 1 ; ing quite a share of attention. In its ' ' ' long-haired, silky form it. is just as rich looking as the velvet and cer- l ' tainly make a beautiful hat. ' ' 1 Aside from the plain black forms, ; ' milady is going in more for two- 1 toned ideas. The two-toned combina- ! tion is a strong one this season, liot 1 only in millinery but in gowns. What could be more effective or striking j than a large hat of navy blue beaver I made on the Gainsborough order and t J trimmed with ostrich feathers in its j ! own color and in light blue?. j The idea also has been tried of in-troducing in-troducing more striking tones and 1 Ihese are hats in parrot and Nile 1 green, and other affairs equally stren- 1 uoua in color. These, however, are too j theatric in appearance to appeal to the average wearer. Then, too, they are : j !n shades that are not becoming to i ! ' most people. The picture hat for the 1 j ' majority will always remain the dark ! jolored affairs of black, brown or 1 : lavy. Brown combined with tan is j mother combination that is quite pop-alar pop-alar and quiet enough to suit the gen- J tral trade. ! Fur hats and hats trimmed with fur , ; ire much liked this season by the up- . :o-date girl. One form is a jacket with . ' . lainty little fur turban to match. j Squirrel is popular, while mink, too, is much liked. The style of fur hat with j !ur scarf to match is another favorite. J A dainty idea is to have the scarf md the trimming on the hat of the lame fur, the body of the hat being of ' relvet or some other material. Thus ' ibsQlute sameness of the two is re- 1 ieved. 1 Krmine and mink are rarticuli.-ly . ' Jtrong favorites among fur trimmed 1 ' aats, while squirrel is also seen to quite 1 in extent. As a rule this fur i3 put I iround the hat in a couple of narrow Dands. Krmine and squirrel and such 1 ight tone furs are applied on black r dark backgrounds, while light hats ! ire trimmed with mink and such dark I iolored furs. 1 An effective combination is a light :olored hat in taffeta or gros grain, re- I ieved by little silk and metal cm- I jroidery, and adorned with a couple i if bands of mink. There is just enough !ur about it to relieve the monotony, I tnd not so much as to look like an a 11 I .'ur hat. Some really beautiful effects i ! m black velvet are seen trimmed with ! nink, while black lace over a wire Irame adorned with this fur Js a pop-alar pop-alar form. , "Another pretty idea is a combination i if fur and feathers. One striking style j in this order shows a large round hat janded with gray squirrel and the . :rown adorned by a jvhole bird in vari- ; :olored tints. I The tailored glrl does not want a hat ihat is all fuss and furbelows. What ihe wants is a dainty and plain effect, ut withal one that has French nyle . ; md grace in its every line. Such hats ' ire mostly small in shape and show ' ut little trimming. A single quill, a ; imall bird, possibly a wing, out no rib- ' ' ons. ornaments, or ostrin plumes i narks this type of hat. j ; s ; Among the many novel and striking 1 ; brms is none more daring than the lew square effects. The hat is flat and ; : R made with four corners. It usually ; las a fringe of lace all around it. ' Sometimes it is banded with "ur and naybe has an ostrich plume in the iaok falling over in the Mary Tudor 4 1 irder. Marie Tours, in Chicago Trib- I me. i Strange Inconsistencies.
