maddest-that's hat history
for you during the last three years.
For the last six seasons you've had to put any little bit of non- sense on your head and call it a hnt. and this year-well. this year it's about me the de- signers called it a day. Because
this year they're madder than ever!
Just to forewarn you about what you'll see yourself wearing next winter, here's some news about the least Imaginative fights of faricy.

One from Rose, Valo's (bottom right); it must have" begun Ble *L3 曬 mere Robin Hood hat, but later its crown got pinched into four folds reaching up to a peak. Its brim is chipped about like the upturned brim on one side are two giant pheasant's feathers that stretch back and sway for miles and miles-well, honestly they're not an inch less than a foot and a half long, and you'd have to be terribly careful in a bus.
Lots of Rose Valois's hats were more feather than hat, and Maria Guy had quills eighteen inches long with gilded and sequined tips. Even the sober Homburgs have gone gay, decorated with nothing less than a whole bird.
Erik uses mostly ostrich plumes; and if feathers don't please you. you can simply tie round some chiffon in violent colours and leave the ends dangling. OF use very wide gros -grain, ribbon tied In an enormous bow in front
So much for trimmings—now for shapes.
If I must sum up "trends" out of the staggering variety of new hats, I should say there are four: Homburgs, teques. peaked
caps
and Directors-all with knobs on. or, in other words, with variations."
To get the right idea about your new Homburg. put your last year's sports hat on a chair, sit on it. then attach it to a huge feather and perch it precariously on top of your hair.
The Dew Homburgs all look squashed, and they can be any style from a Robin Hood to a pos- tilion, or a cross between both like this one from Maria Guy (top right). It has a dented
crown rising up and wa-ay back, with a medium brim turned up at at the back and snapped sharply down over one eyebrow.

Le Monnier showed no- thing but toques. Nothing very high, nothing exaggerated, all their allure in the line and movement of skiful pleats, drapes and folds.

FLORAL TUNICS
For evening wear printed fabrie frequently used for tunies.
These can be worn with skirts or decollette gowns in the same way. as Jackets. Three or four tunics in different fabrics will bring variety to one instep or ground length black skirt for all manner of informal dress 'occasions.
As part of these two-plece en- sembles, floral chiffon and floral organza play their roles. Coloured effects distributing big blue and pink popples or bouquets of multi- coloured blooms on black grounds. make for interest because the out- line arising from a black shirt re- mains unbroken.

Tunics can be regarded as acces- sory garments with lace as another summer evening medium. Take blue, which one designer stresses for wear with a white chiffon gown, showing the coloured ace inserted at intervals round the corsage. This idea auggests other contrasts and rises to a full blown evening style. Tunics are the com- promise between Jacket and ground-length redingotes, both of which can be worn hemmed skirts.
