Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 January 1917 — The Pinafore Sailor. [ARTICLE]

The Pinafore Sailor.

The world v has blossomed out ip spring hats at the first approach of winter. There is nothing startlingly novel about the new shapes, except the pinafore sailor that Reboux insists upon. This is made in straw and faced with a bright color, but even this shape has’been seen for two months in a modified form, built of satin. The Muscovite turban, which comes in a straight lifie down from a high crown to the eyebrows, is not featured in any .strength in the new models. The effort seemß to be to turn the brims away from the headline, with compromise. They straight in the air, and their shaping and the irregularities of their edges’ are determined after the quick uplift from the head has been established. ' . ~ '' ' The dominating feature of all the new hats is the fact that they must be worff Straight across the forehead, cannot be tilted right or left and must not dip a fraction of an inch in the back below the line which is established for the front. In other words, there is no coquetry about the pose of the new hat; it is as military as the men under arms. It is a trying line for many faees. and yet it is astonistring how quickly the masses have adopted it and contrived to make themselves look very attractive urider it. „ (Copyright, 1316, by the McClure Newspa- , per Syndicate-)
