Maria Gay Offers Black With Brown in Notable Example of Latest Type in Hats—Paris Reports Show Present Ten- ‘dencies Abroad, Indicate Matching and Dresses. BY HELEN DRYDEN. ODAY you can't buy just a hat. For today the ensemble is su- preme. And the hat is just a factor therein that can't be se- T lected without consideration of L- 'mble. e degree of formality or informal- of the ensemble must be consid- d first, for it determines the type of hat. A velvet turban and suede mps are an excellent . selection if ey are to be worn with an afternoon pbstume, but they should not be substi- ted for low-heeled oxfords and felt ret when a sports or street suit is orn. Once you have decided on the type | vour hat, the problem of color arises. he hat may harmonize or blend with e dominant color note, or it may atch the shoes, bag and furs. ‘Whether the new lines, the some- hat uncompromising off-1 face flare for even the hats with brims reveal uch of the forehead and all of the rebrows—and the out - of - the - side idth are becoming, is of secondary pnsideration, For deft fingers can inch in brims and adjust the sculp- ral drapings until they defy the years Ind accent the best features. Hats, day, are so flexible, made so often hout linings and mounted on bands hich can be made to conform to the pntour of the face, that they may be lightfully individualized. P "HE beret, istpeaie -the-eyebrow line. banishing the softening effect f the hair, requires ingenious manipu- tion to meke it flattering to any ex- pt the young and pigquant and those ho carry a baby face through the ‘True. the angle at which it is —and this may be rakish because f the nonchalant type of the hat— oes help to make it more wearable. Agnes_was the first to introduce erets. This season she is interpreting jhem in tw strips crocheted to- ether. Others are made of felt—one { the simplest being of black with atin ribbon encircling the bandeau and atching up the brim over one eye. pometimes the felt is stitched to look ike tweed or embroidered in wool. ere are also jersey berets. Chanel akes them to complete jersey suits. PPith them for sports and the street, atching scarfs are worn. Tweed shoes nd bag may he wom with matching jweed beret. 'As type hats, demanding a eertain bersonality to carry them off. we may lassify tricornes and bonnets with perets. The felt tricornes which are ade on rather irregular lines must be orn with a certain dash. The bon- ets made of ting or satin ribbon. | nd fitted close to the head, are some- imes softened by a V cut just over [he left eyebrow. A bow placed at the ape of the neck gives becoming width. | Since we have been deprived of the attering effect of a brim across the | ront of our hats, the designers have ecognized the need for much brim at he sides or other devices. such as " and outstanding loops, to give Probably the greatest of all changes hat fashions his, season is seen in he crown. It Has become very shal- pw in the front and deep in the back, that it gives an on-the-back-of-the- ead effect. The treatment of the back of the at depends on the collar of the coat jth which it i to be worn. If the ollar is built to stand out, the back f the hat will continue to show the lape effect. With a fur collar that ows a tendency to hug the neck one | ould wear a hat shortened and fitted | s snugly to the neck as it is to the rehe: Milliners have taken advantage of | e return of the feminine and formal | clothes. They have succeeded in | ringing back the more formal sort of | t which is usually of velvet, including . nne, or of soleil. R 'HE most formal hat is turban made entirely of velvet. When it is ombired with felt or soleil, it loses bme of its formality. That the fabric, ther than the type, determines the gree of formality is shown by Suzy's ret. developed in turquoise velvet. atou’s beret. although of tan felt. is jven formality by a veil over the eyes. | In bringing back the trimmed hat | e designers have wisely shown much‘ testraint. Many hats depend on their | and| other factors which make up the | 1 haping for their chic. Others feature combination of two fabrics or con- | rast the reversible surfaces of solell | r vis-a-vis, Still others are entirely | ade of panne velvet, satin or belting ibbon. - Again a two-color combination bt ribbon serves as trimming. | The hand touch is emphumd in ts as well as dresses.

Inverted seams, done by ofer- | asting, are also effective. A few feath- br fancies and quills are used to strike | color note.

Many Ways in Which They May Be Made Individually - Becoming. BY MARY MARSHALL. HETHER you spend $5 & sea- one thing is certain, and that is that you eannot wear s last season’s hat and hope to look up-to- jdate. Scme. one has said that one might as well wear a hat 10 years out of date as last year's hat—so great are the changes that have taken place within six months in millinery fashions. That is a slight exaggeration, of course, | but the- fact is that even hats that we | bought last Spring or in Midsummer | begin to look a trifie old-fashioned. Not only are the nmew hats different, but the way of wearing them is dif- ferent. The woman who does not make a clean break with the past as far as hats are concerned will have a hard time of it this season. In reviewing the new hats we speak of toques, berets, turbans and even of cloches, but essentially all new hats are bonnets—in that they are soft and light and are worn with shallow, close- ly drawn erown brought down on the back of the hesd. To attempt io wear one of the new hats drawn down over the forehead would be as disastrous as trying to wesr one of the new draped dresses up to the knees or one of the ‘lr;;w princess dresses with a low waist- e. ‘The important thing is to realize that amart- ness and then to get a visual impres. sion through sketches and actuslly see- ing the displays in the millinery All the important Prench ‘milliners have added interesting variations of the new mode, and when they make hats for individua’ women they vary - them in a hundred different ways to make them individually The hats offered in this wunlrv are copies or modifications of these French creations and ‘never before has there been such a wide variety. If you choose to buy your hat ready-made, your prob- lem is to find a shape that is most be- coming. Some of the milliners take the partly formed shipes of velvet or felt and mold them to your individual head —a simpler process than having the hat cut and shaped entirely to measure. | Even if you buy your hat all finished there aré ways of pinching it and drap- ing it a little here and there so as to make it individually becoming. Let me suggest to the olaer woman that” she is really making » mistake when_she =hows too great conservatism this season in selecting her new hats. She may think that the new hats are suitable only to younger women—yet she may adopt with willingness the new, more closely molded Il’e‘_ with higher waistline and longer skirt. As a matter of fact, the new hats show s becoming and’appropriate possibili- ties to the eonservative older woman as they do to vounger women, and new more feminine dresses most cer- tainly demand the new, more feminine type of hat. - The time when a simple. felt eloche might be worn with every and any sort of costume has paseed, Infl mnun- e spend one hat, we will doubtiess "Teer the need of more hats. For sports clothes nothing is more appropriate than one of the new berets. lwl’:u'h are also appropriate with tweed | suits, | sometimes shirred around the hrim teo ‘There are simple felt dupu give them the desired close adjustment that may also be worn with suits, nnd | for formal afternoon there are hats ef solell or soleil and velvet with upturned brims on one side and downward Spite Should .

For a woman who is not really young the hat with . @ narrow brim will be far more flattering. A well made hat that fits the head and is correct with the rest of the costume is a really good investment. Proportionately one may well spend more on one’s hat than on anything else one wears and yet not feel guilty of extravagance, for the reason that it is the first thing to be noticed, and if it is a good hat it will help to set off the whole costumte. A woman feels much more confident of herself if she knows her hat is chic and becoming. She realizes she is &t her best, and what woman is there today who will not strive to accomplish that?

Selected For Hat| Some women base the color scheme of their wardrobes on the hats they choose for the season, while others buy hats to meet the color requirements of dresses and coats. Either method is satisfactory. It is the woman who buys dresses and hats without thinking of their ocolor nlm who is likely to come to grief. Mustard color, tete de negre, English green, turtle green, rust color, Spanish red, black and rust, black and green— these are colors that you may. see 'in the smartest of the new models are at their in black.
