THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Cotton Use in Hats Is New Idea BY FRANCES PAGET )Copyright, 1929, by Style Sources) NEW YORK. April 26.— Perhaps the most interesting and radical development in millinery fashions this spring is the use of cottons in the making and trimming of hats. The Paris designers two seasons ago featured the little gob hat of white pique for sports wear. It was rather an exclusive fashion at that time but was not accepted generally. This spring, however, the use of the cottons is much more important and is done in more interesting ways. It is one of the novelty developments. Weaves Are Similar It is very probable, of course, that the linen weave straw bodies have had a great deal to do with the success of the pique and linen idea in trimming, for there is a great similartiy In weave. It is the smart way in which these fabrics are used that wall make them a fashion item this season. For instance, pique, whether in plain or pencil stripe, is inset in modernistic motif in the crown side and oerhaps in the brim of a bakou or ballibuntl. , Hemstitched or closely stitched linen bands are laid around the crowns of medium or large straws and tied on the side in a rakish little bow. , , Os course, the use of the linen and even the pique facing is very prevalent and it is here that rolor contrast is introduced, while the under flange of either of the fabrics is seen a great deal. Shoes Get Cue From Dresses As more and more new shoe types for summer aays put in an , J p P e s. r " ance to supplement those that the southern resort season has marked for re-endorsement, the fact that footwear is taking many of its style cues from dress fashions becomes increasingly evident. When it is a matter of color combinations and design, shoes follow the lead of the summer frock. Having started on the radical road at southern resorts with such ideas as nolka dots, checks, modernistic and flower prints, the shoe carries on these ideas in variations. Moreover, it exploits the new color combinations in solid tone alliances featured in dresses. Chartreuse, black and white; brown, white and vellow, or navy, red and beige are among those that appear frequently together.
