CANOE SHAPED HATS FOR 1935
Tilted Attractively Over Right Ear
Ladies! You will be wearing long. canoe-shaped hats in 19351-
They will tit, attractively over your right ear and very, very smart they will look, too.
And if half your line of vision Is cut off by these 'jolly millinery confections, we can safely rely on you to combine Chic with safe- ty.
For I have been talking to one of the men who decrees what is to perch prettily on your head from season to season. Mr. Frank Brighten, of Marleric, in Conduit-street, W; has been de- signing hats now for nearly - a quarter of a century, and when he says a hat is going to be worn, it is worn.
Not many men know as much about hats as Mr. Brighten, and one of the less knowledgable has been roundly condemning those creations which tilt rakishly over one eye. No woman could possi- bly be trasic-conscious in them, according to him.
But Mr. Brighten anorted at such cerping criticism.
"Woman is the most adaptable creature in the world,” he told me. "I fashion decrees that a woman shall wear extremely high heels, she, sensibic person, will walk accordingly. If it is · fas- hionable to be tightly-laced, she will eat less.
"And if fashion requires a bat to filt over one eye, you can rely on a woman to remember that' fact
before she starts crossing the road. She's a good deal more sensible than the critic of this millinery mode!
"There has not been a single instance of any sort of accident as a result of wearing a hat slanting over one eye."
Millionery designers realise that women want to look their best. Which is why these canoe-shaped hats will be so popular. They are very practical and supremely smart

When it comes to party frocks there is choice enough to satisfy any mother who likes to dress her children according to their type:

Taffeta Frocks And Hats
Fashion need not be monoton ons. In former days, once we had secured our autumn ward- robe, we were more or less con- tent to go on with it till spring.
Not so now! Each month, al- most each week, we hall some- thing novel in the dress world. It may be a colour, a fabric or merely new way of tying a collar or cuff. That is where, the accessories of fashion are 50 helpful. without being extrava gant, we can achieve pleasing variety
For the next few weeks, allow-.. Ing a lapse, for sale bargains, we can probably make do with our clothes, always providing we managed to secure the practical woollen ensemble in addition to the fur of winter.
The Indoor Coat There are many types of wool len frocks to select from, and the coat or cape that matches the dress should be possible to wear. In the house, as the very waim furs or fur-lined wraps can be left in the ball at winter tea and cocktail parties."..
It is not everyone who is equip- ped with such new and lovely furs that they wish them to be seen. That is why the woollen or even velvet dress is best when complete in itself. Also, most houses to-day are too hot for much. tur. The afternoon dress is all-important in winter-time. Often 't is worn from four till 12 D.m
Necklines and sleeves are full of charm. The square bib-line is becoming when square, shoulders happen to suit or, akslim "effect. can be acquired A deep "V" and slightly cascading revers on either side are also good. The small high military collar and the old Peter Pan are only for youth, and so, as a rule, is the clear bateauline Bleeves that suit all figures are the long-at- ted style,

Straw-Like Taffeta
It is to be a red silk season. So far taffeta promises to be Arst favourite. In the new hats taxeta is 50 manipulated and hand-worked as to look like some very queer straw full of charm and surprises. Taffeta seems to call for frills, plakings, and Bruches. The kimona or: dolman type of sleeve is very good för the taffeta frock. A kimona top of black taffeta with an under- sleeve and cowl collar of soft white satin e a French favourite, and is worn with a

In all cases where skirts are still short it is as well to have. knickers made to match the frock. In colour, if not actually in material. Transparent affairs in net or lisse are always made with a slip of satin or crêpe, and in this case it is easy to make the knickers of the same stuff.
The remarks about fitting the party clothes to the personality of the wearer apply quite. much to small boys as to girls

Every woman longs for colour at the turn of the year. No one questions the smartness of the eternal black, but a break-away into the enchanting realms of colour is a sign of spring-time.
