Hat Should Be Linked With Costume

■ isjpw YORK, May fl — <U.R)~There has never been a time when millinery definitely linked with the costume as it is now. At every smart showParis a"d New York ensembles are worn with hats that are definitely ■ for them, and the entire costume shows plainly how much thought has Hp given to every detail today. the chiffon prints of which the dresses were made for a recent ,n show were used as an applique trimming around the crowns of white

■ hemp bodies of natural tone. For' ■ eggshell afternoon frock of chis- ■ the eggshell large sized balliXtl was used witli the trimming of color satin ribbon. K velveteen poke cloche in Italian Bcioselv stitched allover and faced Tvhite crepe was worn with a white ■.,.. dress and a long velveteen coat .I he same color as the hat. Os " there were pastel felts trimm- ■ in narrow colored blets of leather. K-,1 with flat crepe sports, but the ■e r est of these other novelties far ■passed them. >!any different materials are being at’ 11 the making of hats this ■ng and all sorts of cottons and seem to be coming into use. fj, istitche linen as a band of trimc around a large felt or a straw K P e is something which in seen freKntlv in the better shops, ■inen ribbon as trimming is also jL'l and makes an excellent trim for K large rustic straw shape. The Xian of fashion who orders a linen |p. nine will like the hat of the same material.
