LANE CRAWFORD

Have received a big shipment of hats in a great variety of styles and materials, The summer light" weight felts are lovely" as there were such a choice in all the beautiful pale Summer shades of waterproot ribbon. What took my: fancy were the hats in practically all the shades of blues imaginable, and another attractive one was in silk with the new stitched brim. Most of the white felts had the "new high crowns,, and the straw that were displayed, are just the hats for sunny days.

Robert Piguet, in his collection dresses and wraps, makes sleeves-to-be-of-supreme-impor tance in every dress. In choice of colours and materials he also shows originality and taste. With subtle whites, blacks belge, grey, and one touch of vivid colour at the neck and waist or only at one of these paints, he gets be coming straightforward effects.. Apple-green, yellow, scarlet, violet are colours" which he puts on colovaless dresses, striped or

plain. The Greek line in dress induances many of Piguet's draperies, and one or two of his evening dresses are, purely Greek in line. There is some flare in the skirts of his long coats, which are held in place at the waist.

The hats worn with these dresses are either small and tilted forward over the brow, or they are wide-brimmed and low crowned and worn a little to one side, and on the brow Black straw hata are the usual choice.

CLOTHES

The Rage This Year

Every woman, no matter what her age, can dress young" this summer if she wants to-and still retain her dignity. "..

Clothes are going to be younger, more fresh and more care-free. I is as if every designer has said, "Begone. dull care!" and then proceeded to create "light-heart- ed" clothes.

When I say that clothes are young. I do not mean in the jeune Alle manner.

There is nothing of sweet six- teen about them, but, rather, they are young and gay and free in the youthful swaggering" way of the young man of the early nine- teenth century. That's it..

Gay little suits are reminiscent of the late eighteenth and early. nineteenth centuries, because men's coats of that period have inspired the wide lapels, the nip- ped waist and the full-skirted coats very smart, very young, worn over straight skirts.

Inverness and "Victorian Order of Nurses' coats seem to have inspired the new sewn-down sleeve capes for both sports and dress wear. Even evening capes show "this" tendency. D

Accordion-pleating in all its old-fashioned glory is really "staging a come back."

I have seen, in several houses, accordion-pleated skirts with 100- kets, frocks with accordion-pleat÷.. ed hems and "fence rail" collars, and one evening fumper frock, the jumper studded with diamante and the whole skirt "In fine ac- cordion-pleating. A
