NEXT SEASON'S
HATS
Shapes Turn Up At The Back
Short brims will satisfy the most exacting amongst us during the autumn season, with the spe- cial allure given to them by Buz-, anne Talbot, who insists upon a back uplift tilt to further charm the eye. Black panne and felt appear in profusion, and both are combined from time to time with black antelope.
Visualise the new higher crowns, blocked In belltopper plush that is to say, panne-- with brims rising at the back, where a single" camellia will ap- pear likewise blocked, to shape in opalescent pink or white satin. This mot might be reversed to the front or entirely abandoned, for a stiff bow of velvet or felt. Bows, however, only appear at the back, and jut at an angle just to. preserve an outline, full of merit because it is easy to wear, becom- ing and elegant. Trimmings for these special shapes may range from a bow to flat narrow ribbon tailored loops, falling in single formation down the centre back from an uplift, dainty curled ost- Reh feather Wips, and perhaps a longish curl af osprey, adding height to the movement on a hat of black panne mixed with felt. Shapes are definite, and not hidden by swathes or other trim mings that have a tendency to. spoll form. While talking of form, one smart afternoon hat has a alde-lever brim, ent to shape out pagoda wise at the aldes. "These two levers resemble aeroplane wings, but "pagoda" is perhaps more correct,

These capelets are usu- ally bordered with plain, felt or lainage, that might form a bow at the back of the pill-box shape, and, with gloves make up an en- semble of three items. Gloves àl- so appear In short one-button styles of battle-green silk velvet and black silk velvet to complete hats.
Bows carry a great trimming thème in back dropped looped effects for another turban shape, launched as "1935."

UNCRUSHABLE VELVET ·
There is good news for velvet- lovers. Any possible misgivings that may have been aroused by the statement that velvet was to be "one of the leading material of the coming autumn and winter season" will be dispelled by the news that a new and uncrushàble velvet has been produced.
But the new velvet is different. It will even stand up to, or rather come 'unmared through, the test of Its wearer sitting for a long period on a cane-seated chair.
That ordeal has wrecked the re- putation of other "mcrushable" velvets in the past.
