~~~ '—_ THR EVENING WORLD'S FASHION REVIEW SECTION, SATURDAY, JANUARY f4, 1999. “ @ From Fifth Ave. Advance Style Notes THE NEW SPRING MILLINERY By Ruth Snyder. Copyright, 1922, (New York Evening World) by Preas Publishing Co. ROM out of the dark, blatant subway into the colorful splen- dor of the Jantmary sunshine stepped Miss Fashion in search of some ideas for her new spring bonnet. A few minutes’ walk brought her into the heart of New York's famous shopping district, ifth Avenue. Here a typical New York shopping crowd hustled and bustled, eagerly seeking, seeking seeking. Gay, lithe figures minced by with fur sport coats, topped with jaunty felt hats, running the nuance of colors. More sombre figures passed, with black Satin hats, becoming in their sim- plicity. One black satin hat in particular caught her searching eye. It was turned stiffly away from the face and capped around the brim with gay, bristling feathers of red. She visioned the wearer as snappy, as vivacious and as ‘“‘porcupinish’’ as the hat itself. Her musings were interrupted by a saucy little ‘‘flapper’’ sauntering by. She could hear her brother's mocking but nevertheless pleased yoice saying, “Finale Hopper.’’ The wearer was evidently out for her afternoon “hop.’’ She had on a blue walking suit, topped with the gayest of gay sport hats. It was of gray felt and had a saucy blue quill poking out to one side. These quill and feather. trimmings tn sport hats caught her fancy. They were very chic, of orange, of gray, of tan and of henna felt, and ran the gamut of colorings in quill and pheas- ant trimmings. One of particularly bright hue was an orange felt hat with gold and blue pheasant feathers on cach side. The combination of colors wus very capti- vating. “But I must look at the tailored and dressy hats, too,'’’ she reflected, searching the crowd for further Ideas. She noticed how many of these TOUCH OF SPRING IN DAINTY LINGERIE UN QERWOOe tx were turned stiffly away from the face. The ornaments, too, were stiff and apt to shine and show bright colors, One that caught her fancy was made of metal cloth with a jade ornament, military and daring, di- rectly in front Another was also made of metal cloth with jet trim- ming encircling the brim and a stiff jet fancy flirting with the shoulder. Many of the millinery shoppers seemed to be attracted by the black and white hats. These were made of satin’ and—yes—of straw. Black and white is always a charming com- bination, especially if one has the skin to be enhanced by the white upturned brim against the face, Two girls with black seal coats tripped by. One had ona saucy little turban which distinctly heralded the spring. It was rose colored and banked with rose-colored blossoms, with here and there a touch of green. The other had on a stiff brimmed sailor hat. These are popular with some girls every season. Small round hats, she noticed, with square, rather high crowns were popular. These were often trimmed with iridescent green cock’s feath- ers, a panache of the feathers being crushed on the right side of the hat, concealing part of the crown and dripping over the narrow brim to the shoulder. Sometimes plumes. or sSwordlike feathers were substituted for the green cock’s feathers. These hats she thought particularly pic- turesque. Windows displaying hats for the South caught her attention. One hat of rose straw with gray monkey fur was very alluring. This was poke shaped, with a large brim shading the face. Another hat suitable for the South was of pink Angora straw with a great waxed pink lily on the brim. This was soft and drooping. And so she passed on, studying and planning. What she should finally decide on was a question At any rate, she decided, she must get a small, round felt hat if she wanted to be up to the minute. And it seemed to her that this is going to be a colorful spring in the way of hats.

They have stiff ornaments, too, which are apt to shine and show bright colors. These are made of metal cloth— one with a jade ornament directly in front and the other trimmed with jet.
