A - r v ( v. , ;a i:y:'.- 1 "A 9 ' A-Vk s 1 TpHE new spring hat fashions are simply fascinating. Judging from the Easter previews so alluringly set forth this season it would seem that there surely must be some sort of concerted movement among millinery mil-linery designers to offset the simplicity sim-plicity and conservatism of the new" suits, dresses and coats with head-wear head-wear so devastatingly pretty the entire en-tire costume is made to take on an air of feminine charm. Even the classic little felt fedoras, derbies, homburgs, tricornes, calots and berets that make such smart suit hats this spring, with their profusion pro-fusion of gay veiling, and the tiny felt or straw sailors that pitch forward for-ward at a perilous angle (were it not for the modish hatpins that come to their rescue), are so beguiling one yields to their provocative flattery flat-tery and prettiness at very first glimpse. These perky felts will carry car-ry you gloriously through the spring, and, having such a definitely "new" look, they give the perfect answer as to "what to wear" with the all-important all-important Easter tailleur. Charmingly old-fashioned yet convincingly con-vincingly chic is the suit hat of lilac li-lac (a featured color this spring) felt shown at the top to the right in the illustration. It is typical of the current cur-rent new and important fashion trend. Note that the flower buckle idea is used here. The small yellow flowers appear to be holding a gros-grain gros-grain ribbon, of deeper lilac than the hat, in place. The piquant veil matches the ribbon. Another up-to-the-minute suit hat is shown in the lower left corner. Black and white straw woven with a saw-tooth edge forms the smart tail crown for this swank chapeau. A tassel of black burnt goose is set at the right side and the towering crown is banded in black grosgrain ribbon. Of course you'll be wanting a lit- tie flower hat to wear with your suit or your simple basic dress and its frilly neckwear on extra occasion. Flower hats are the big news this spring and what gay little flatterers they are! You will find- as you look around the most beguiling flowery confections fancy can picture creating creat-ing a scene of bewildering loveliness loveli-ness wherever Easter millinery is on display. Can't you just see the violet-bedecked hat shown below to the right drawing admiring glances as it moves along on the avenue comes Easter Sunday morn? It's of white straw with a scalloped brim. The purple and white violets that trim it carry a rapturous note of spring. The dotted veil is in a matching violet vio-let shade. "He loves me, he loves me not" maybe that's why daisies are chosen to adorn the jaunty bright-stripe taffeta taf-feta sailor shown in the upper left corner. Here's hoping the petals will tell. This colorful hat breathes the very breath of spring in the yellow and orange-toned stripes of the taffeta. taf-feta. The large white daisies are effectively positioned, and the daisy at the throat fastens to a sapphire blue velvet choker that matches the ribbon on the hat. As to the adorable rose fantasy that crowns milady's head with glory as illustrated centered in the group it has a story also to tell of veil enchantment, for the veil theme is being played up in all its phases with consummate art this spring. The Easter bonnet without a veil will be rather the exception than the rule. In this instance lacy fern-green fern-green veiling exquisitely patterned frames the face in a wistful sort of beauty, then flows gracefully down the back. The snow white roses hug a bicycle clip to nestle securely in the hair. Sweet bit of headwork for the coming spring. Released by Western Newspaper Union. |
