BANDEAU HAT HERE TO STAY

Millinery Idea Seems to Have Wdn Permanent Place, After Many Unsuccessful Attempts. Every so often the bandeau rises impertinently and tiptilts woman’s headgear at a daring angle. Sometimes this attempted uprising on the part of hatbrims is sternly quelled by the refusal of womankind In general to accept the style. Such was the case last spring and the spring before that, but this year the bandeau really seems to have established a place for itself in millinery, and the latest models from Paris milliners show bandeaus under the brim at the back, the hat tipping forward over the face and shading the eyes. This achieves, of course, an entirely new line, for the trehd of trimmings and shapes has been backward and downward at the back and pointing downward over the nose will accomplish a metamorphosis In millinery if the bandeau idea takes hold. Two or three bandeau hats, displayed in a Washington window, attracted much attention. One was a tiny affair of black Milan with a bit of a brim turning down at the front and on one side. The low crown was elliptical In shape and was just high enough to fit o ver the hat All around this pert little hat went a wreath of "black-eyed Susans,” and from the bandeau, set under the brim at the back*, depended streamers of buff ribbon, edged with a plcot border of black. The other bandeau model was an old-fashioned leghorn “flat," which . was tipped forward on a two-inch bandeau covered with blue moire ribbon. Streamers of the blue moire floated from the bandeau and masses of for-get-me-nots formed a low crown on the flat-brimmed leghorn shape. At the front, a little cluster of heliotrope added a charming bit. of color contrast
