THE LATEST SPRING

HAT MODELS

Brims Poke Forward Crowns Are Lower

Whatever the shape has been dubbed from time to time-pillbox or pork ple-lt wanes with the 'old, year. Suzanne Talbot has laun- ched another of Chinese persua». sion. As the cuff rises up it juts out alightly before becoming at- tached to the crown. One model of black silken cellophane fabric with a bow on top is smaller than another in plaited green, yellow and white cocoanut fibre with a metal ornament serving as a little round button on top in the Chin-` ose manner.

This new elongated brimmed 'scape is exquiste" in pale duck- egg blue-paper panama, with a simple black gros-grain band found the edge, a narrow band round the crown, and a black veil...

It has the air of a new type in coalscuttle or, poke shapes, but since fashion terms are usually. sq misleading I will not suggest elther. The brim elongates from narrow back and sides to shoot forward and poke up slightly under the influence of three pleats at centre front." These pleats get Impetus from a tailored move ment, and the veil cuddles un derneath according to the mari- ner of wearing them. In this in- stance the veil is a trimming, ar-- ranged beneath she crown, and defined, in line with the brim to leap forward an inch or so beyond. it in front.

An identical idea but without brim is seen in a new toque in black felt, simply bordered, with pleces shaping the elongated crown joined together by a close-"

The Breton halo. in black picot. raw appears in this collection with brim cut away at the nape and an open-worked trellis 'crown of the straw. This brown is "dom-: ed.” Suzanne Talbot does not alto- gether reject high crowns, but she subdues them. One of sporting kind in red laage with a fine

A trousseau which has recently been made by Lelong includes” an afternoon dress of rough black crêpe with a satin back: the skirt is made with a front panel with godets near the hem and sin front. It is trimmed with plain back The bodice is easy fitting with long, tight-sleeves, and has a white sük stitched collar with wide revers. A similar black skirt is to be worn with a. 4 white satin blouse and a short jacket which folds over in front and is trimmed" with Persian lamb, a collar, revers, and a band round the

hem.

An evening dress of shot taffetas is in pea cock tall colours; the skirt. which is wide and long all round, 18- shaped from the slender waist by concealed tucking which looks like accordion pleating; the short. 'sleeved bodice is high at the back and cut low and square in front with little revers across the shoulders; a cape tucked and chaped like the skirt has a scarf and a tightly buttoned waistcoat attached.

Prevalent in Paris is the com- bination of a short skirt and fit- ting bodice with a short figured jacket of wool or silk inchwide stripes in two colours make the usual pattern. The jacket has a flared basque, a close-fitting- waistline, smooth shoulders, and no collar, but revars may. Issten to the shoulders with big buttons.

The tailored line executed to perfection, with simple gros-grain trimmings on straws, and satin or Chine machine-stitched applica- tlons on light-weight felts, are featured by Lemonnier, Themes vary from Httle sailor shapes to those of elongated persuasion with side brims flanking the

“crown."

There is a Breton sailor shape, in white paper panama, with mo- derate roll up to the brim, set off by a pleated shoot of the straw posed at the centre front of the crown. This hat has a split either. side of the brim at the black which achieves a definite turn-up a to the crown. After puttini high crowns to the test, Ladan Lemonnier has comple aba doned them for lesse which she frankly adm so dimcult to wear.

A new paille de sole is featured by Madame Suzy for her Breton shape with halo turn-up brim.

Talbot's, being fistin front though narrow backs and sides conform in character.

Suzy re- mains faithful to low crowns with a slight compromise in height for these new hats, one of which is In red straw with the low oblong crown appearing to be blocked.

Elastic grips remain, and but for them I wonder what flight one very smart afternoon shape would take! It is a new type of beret, perching forward in black satin, with top entirely covered by chin - chilla coq feathers, which likewise emphasise the forward movement.

Brow Beauty Is An Art

Eyebrows Treated In Modern W

Brow beauty is one of the most. charming personal, possessions of the modern "good-looking girl Briq also of the older woman- for in these days, thanks to mar- vellously effective beauty aids, a smooth, unruffled brow does not belong to youth alone.

At the moment, possibly. under the influence of the pre- valling mode in winter millinery, the small pillbox off-the-brow hats, women are paying more at tention than ever to the shape. of their eyebrows in some in- stances with somewhat unhappy results, for when the eyebrows are reduced to mere pln lines the effect of an otherwise charming make-up is lost and features which normally appear alive and vivacious look like an expression Jess Japanese mask.

One has only to take an eye- brow pencil and experiment in one or two directions to realise how much eyebrows have to do with beauty and characteristic attraction of features.

DANCE DRESSES WITH TRAINS

High Necks: Tulle For

Girls

one of the knee-length dresses of immediate post-war years, for the akirt panels part at the side alita, there is a muddle of fullness down either side and a vast expanse of silk stocking back and front. The effect is not only untidy but ludicrous-how ludicrous the wearer has no idea unless she catches aight of herself in mirror

In a matter of a week or two the character of evening dresses seems to have changed complete- ly. In a ballroom every woman- seems to be munded up to the neck; trains seem awkward and ungraceful things when this gen eration attempts to wear them, and the glit skirt, which may be very beautiful on a woman with polse and a sense of carriage, › looks just the reverse when it is worn by a debutante. This sounds. critical and unfriendly, but the criticism is intended to be con- ia frock which is not alit at the structive, for there is no reason why, with w few hints, from the onlooker who, after all, sees most of the game lovely dresses of this season should not fulfil their original purpose and be a joy to their wearers and a delight to. the eyes of other people.

After wearing moulded gowns for a considerable time, I should have thought women would have learned to put on the slightly. looser new frocks with just much care and precision For although they do not sling quite so tightly to the figure, they are: by no means the slip-on models of a few years ago. They cannot be dropped over the head and merely shaken into place. Fast- enings may be few, but corsage. trimmings are important features and need coaxing into place, just us the bows of sashes need to be tied attractively, and capes and draperies arranged with artistic

grace.
