SPANISH SAILOR HERE AGAIN

Lifted Brim May Be Edged With Beads or There May Be a Flat Fringe of Ostrich.' rr ’ We see once more the Spanish sailor, which provides an excellent canvas for beautiful ornaineptal ideas, says an exchange. Tlie lifted brim may be edged with beads, or theye may.be laid along the under surface a flat fringe of ostrich, The Breton shape, while not new, is good enough to continue a little longer. Lanvin features the Breton, and one of her best -models is executed on these lines, the material being hatter's plush in beige color. The „hrim carries a small fluting of beigecolored faille, and high at the front Is placed a wheel composed of alternating stripes of faille and plush. All fabric hats appear to be more popular than felts. Velours sailors are excellent style, and their one bad quality, Awhich is that of keeping the head too warm, is overcome now by >the use of ventilating holes, such as are used in men’s hats. In the matter of color, we find that teal and peacock blue are among the best shades, with munition gray a

worthy follower. This new gray tone shades Into blue, and is a luscious warm color for winter, being particularly effective when worn with furs, particularly gray cony and raccoon, both of which. It is predicted, will have wide popularity. There are plenty of new ornaments coming from the other side, among them long Jet bugles, gelatined motifs, florette trims composed of satin and velvet, chenille embroidery, Chinese ornaments, Jade buckles and all manner of burnt ostrich fans and wheels. Much more trimming is being Employed than "has~been Used forsome time, with the result that hats are regular top pieces, instead of ugly little things which are supposed to possess the charm, of simplicity.
