Tilted Hat for Those Who Can Wear It

THE hat worn at the much-tilted pose shown In the picture is not for every one. It takes a woman whose style is so finished and pronounced that she can carry off this smart and rakish angle without looking In the least bold. But when the wearer is equal to the emergency there is no getting away from the fact that she has demonstrated that style is a very subtle thing. A means of expression, It is to her, by which she conveys something of herself to those who behold her, even though they may never speak to her. Many hats of all sorts of materials have been turned out in this shape, or shapes similar to it They cover nearly all of one side of the face and form a background against which the other* Bide Is sharply silhouetted.

The hajrpictured this left side is trim trimmed with a very full niching of maline plaited in tiny Bide plaits and supporting an upstanding fan of plaited tnallne. There Is a facing of black velvet all pbout the underbrlm. It forms a piping which outlines the brim edge of straw. The combination of natural leghorn color with the deep black of velvet is very fine. ;; The very low crown In thiß bat Is set into

the brim with a second piping of velvet The trimming consists of a fiat cluster of lovely pink roses shading to a deep rose color at the heart of the flowers. A half dozen half-blown roees are circled round the base of a jet spike, which complete the garnishing of a simple but striking effect of the millinery artist The prettiest or rather the most satisfactory hats In this shape, are those made of black high luster straws or fabrics, trimmed with bhudc malices and a few compact high-colored flowers, or else finished in all blade, substituting fruit or ornaments for the flowers. Therp is something in the brilliant blapk of lacquered or high-luster silk surfaces that goes with the pose for which this hat is made. And as a background for a well-modeled, profile there Is nothing like black velvet The side face Is get In relief like a tinted cameo. But it is wise to consider whether the style is suited to one, before indulging in it So there is no harm In reiterating that this hat is not for every one, but for her who oan carry it off.
