LOVELY WINE TONES.
Pamela is showing a new collection of hats in lovely wine shades. The colours ran from a tone like that of a half ripe tomato to an almost brown maroon. These hats are on the whole larger than the average and some of them, with quite de- vided brims, are of the new stiffen- ed felt. The draping of one claret coloured felt stands out quite con- siderably over either car in fashion very becoming to an oval face, another in a rather deeper shade has a brim pushed up under- neath over the forehead in a dis- crete imitation of the directoire bonnet.

A blocked felt also in claret shade has a brim and a fat trim-
ming chos of velvet placed to the
left front of the crown.
Sealing wax red taupe felt is trimmed with cut plumes of its own material which cross in front and give fullness over the temples, A close fitting turban is made of angora felt with quite a thick pile in an orange tomatoe shade.
Very smart and new is a turban of black felt trimmed with pin tucks which run down to the ear pieces where they develop into spirala The felt is cut well away over the brow, the space down to the eyebrows being filled in with A close fitting veil of embroidered black net.

Toques and beret shapes are made with leose soft folds so that the draping can be changed by the wearer to suit her mood. A kind of watered velvet is sometimes used,
SILVER AND GOLD.
The Dolly Vardon Hat Shop has some delightful small hats trimmed with silver and antique metal threads. They look particularly well with fur coats, and are also useful for evening wear to keep the hair tidy, when journeying to theatre or restaurant. Orte charm- ing model is braided in blue and silver, another braided with gold and silver has a small brim of stitched nigger antin. A small shape in black felt has a piece of solid silver thread lace appliqué in front of the crown.
Among the now felts I was struck with two or three models which were trimmed with angora wool. One in madonna blue has the fashionable long back and 12. stitchery of grey angora on the 'crown. Another very chic black felt with an upturned brim in front, has two diamonds of white nazora stitchery and

It is drawn down over the right ear by the weight of a large chrysanthe- mum flower made out of the felt,

Some lovely coats also in the fashionable wine shades have been designed for wear with these hats or perhaps rise rere.
