Three Triumphs in Millinery

Sure of a joyous welcome wherever the trained eyes of fashionable women fall UQOn them; that is the happy future of these beautiful hats. The test of the successful hat Ist simple — it must flatter its wearer —she must look better with it on than without it. The three hats pictured go even farther, for each has a decided character of its own to lend to the head it covers. At the left, a wide, graceful picture hat will provoke a sigh of longing in the heart of every girl. Its brim droops a little, making a fine shadow for the eyes and the narrow fall of georgette crepe about the brim edge is a trick of the milliner’s that enhances every beauty—whether of eyes or complexion. The crown is soft and draped, and the hat is entirely black velvet. The saucy hat at the center is made

of blue taffeta, with a heavy braided pattern on it, and of black velvet. It is derived from the dashing hat worn by. Colonel Fabry, the “Blue Devil of -France”—called. _the Fabry tarn. It is full of spirit, and chooses for trimming one of those interesting painted paddle quills. Of course it must be worn at a daring angle which assures it success with the younger set who aspire to looking a bit reckless and sophisticated. The third ha£-is Just a smart velvet shape for the street, trimmed with a flat feather hand and a small fan of plaited ribbon. It is something of a tricorn and has all the vivacity and trimness of that undying favorite. It is a good hat for all-round wear, and should be considered by those who want a hat that will rob them of a few years.
