Early Spring Hats

From a great variety of hate certain good an practical, Une are emerging. The beret, of felt, fabric, straw material, or gros- grain may be close Atting with padded edge, or take a flat for- ward line from a deep fitted ban- deau at the back. A beret of this latter kind, of dull straw cloth, is trimmed only with two ears of grosgrain, which give height to the top of the head, and a stif- fened vell to soften the edge. An- other of dark brown grosgrain. has a squared front with a forward shrusting movement accentuated by two stiff quills through the edge of the brim.

One breton shows Chinese in- uence in its peaked crown, which may be finished with a knot and a tassel. Another has a rounded and gathered or quartered crown and an irregular tilt to the brim, which may be close and narrow Or as much as 3in. wide. Another is extremely shallow, with a prece ent out of .he centre front of the brim to show a tiny pair of col- oured wings fixed in the front of the crown. A shallow breton of brown lacquered satin is held in place by an orange cord passed round the hair at the back and brought through the brim en to top

FASHION NOTES

THE ITALIAN INFLUENCE

The evening dress itself would hardly have stood alone this sea- son. That is to say, despite sheaths, mediaeval sleeves, proudly trailing skirts, its character de- pends for the most part upon accessories of which the most in- portant were wraps and headge Metal dresses had to have long coats of metal cloqué.

HAIR AND HEADS

Harr seems likely to gover heads and therefore dress. The small tight curts of many heads not necessitate the various do headgear worn, nor does the long rair which, real or, merely attach- ed, constitutes a good many buns. On the other hand, the halo has seized the romantic school,

CHINESE INSPIRATION

Of Chinese inspiration is a coo- lie shape which is nearly as and made wearable by a deep band of petersham, which moulds the head under the brim; the sole trimmings are a stitched peak of the ribbon in the centre front of the crown

and a stiffened veil about 2in. wide.

The rolled brim hat, with i narrow forward outline, has a manipulated "crown somewhat ike a man's Homburg; it its well down on the head.

The extreme of such a fashion would be that of the eighties, with which designers have been flirting for some time past. When you have high- shouldered sleeves, smaller waists, tight skirts, and back pleats, the principle is actually established of the wasp-waist, fortified stays, and
