These Hats Flatter Your Face
Ostrich and Fox Take Front Place
SILHOUETTES may be simple and details discreet in your clothes this winter, but at least you need not hesitate to let yourself go with your hat.
Leaving aside for the moment the velvets and veils, look at what you can pick in the way of furs and feathers. There has always been a nice line in astrakhan cossack caps appearing in one or other of the designers' collections, but this season cossack | caps are only the start of it. You hardly notice them among the flocks of mink or beaver pill boxes, silver for halos, and beaver glengarries.
AND they are real face-flatterers, these fur hats: nothing is more becoming to the skin. So if you can spare the tail of your silver fox or cut the cuffs off your beaver coat, mount! them on velvet or felt and clap them on your head right away.

feathers at that. They are
not only dyed now to every range and tinge of shade but curled too to within an inch of their lives.
