SPRING HATS OFFER ENDLESS CHOICE IN CUT AND COLOR

Originality High Note in New Styles BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 30.-Easter hats have a challenging, revolutionary spirit well calculated to go to a woman’s head! They have emancipated themselves from their too-long subordinate position. They flaunt their new importance, by originality in the endless variety of cut, color, and materials add in the way they are worn. “Up and backward” is their motto, one and all. Whether a formal evening toque with trailing plume or a stiff sailor at home on a permanent wave, new hats all Join in going the same direction—up to show the hair in front, tilted back to show the left ear. Straws to the Fore Straws are seen and not felt, except for sportswear and on young things. New colors. Gay colors. Trimmings include plumes, quills, flowers, pert linen and pique bows, many ribbons and rich velvet bandeaux and bows. Hats have contrast of color and materials. Many sizes. Many silhouettes. Hats are large, they are small, they are round, they have points, they swing out on the side., they turn up in the back, they are uniform, they are irregular. Choosing the right one may be difficult. But stimulating and more interesting than it ever has been before. They’re Just Your Type If there is any classifying this year’s hat crop, the division of types is this: 1. Provocative tricorns and bicorns, with upward-sweeping brims using their own discretion about how and where to point. 2. Demure and elegant toques, of lacy straws, flattering in their softness, their trim. 3. Wide-brimmed cape lines with shallow crown and wide brims balanced just right on shining tresSes. 4. The tiny unlisted cloche, a cute little hat, when the right woman picks the right one. 5. Novelty cuts, like the sailors, reminiscent of Gibson Girl days, the 1931 Wattaeu hat, the romantic Shepherdess hat, the “stovepipe” kind the “square crown.” Gives Personality Variety By selecting different varieties of hats, a woman can show a lot of different sides to her personality this spring. For the first time in years, hats have such definite character that they suggest in their own biake-up what type of costumes they properly belong with. Some have a rather elegant formality about them, made to go with afternoon ensembles, they would have you know. Others have just the right dash of nonchalance suitable for the soft tweed frock or the fcmart one-piece dress when w'armer days dispense with coats. One and all, they demand to be put on right, worn with suitable apparel and contrasted nicely with a costume. The day of limp hats that took Whatever character they had from the woman who put them on her head is gone.

Panamas Shot With Metal New straws include a dozen panamas, some shot with metal, others lacy openwork; baku de chanvre, perline, pedaline, paillafcon, picot, shining bengal, horsehair, basket weaves, crocheted hemp, Cellophane and straw jerseys. New colors run from vivid reds, billiard greens, penetrating blues io soft, dull plum tones and to the baby blue and light pink combination. Trimmings add more color, usually. Tire finesse with which two unhsual tones are united in a single hat determines its sophisticated Chic. Big hats are worn with suits, Cmall hats with chiffon dresses. Each hat has its own individual Contribution to make this Easter, it is one year when nobody can tell anybody else what to wear! Your own type of beauty, your Individual preferences in color, your bwn individuality in taste decide What’s to be worn on your head this Spring. MRS. JACKSON TO BE GUEST SPEAKER Mrs. Chic Jackson will be the guest speaker at the meeting of the Ladies Social Circle of the First Baptist church to be held at 2 Thursday at the church.

CUTS SILK HOSE BILLS IN TWO A New York fashion expert has found a simple, easy method to double the wear of silk hose and undergarments. These articles, worn hext to the skin, wear out doubly fast because of the perspiration and other body excretions which soften fend rot the silk. This lady found that soap and Water were inadequate for washing Euch articles. She recommends when washing silks to ad a tablespoonful of Energine to every quart of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash and rinse as usual. This method not only cleans thoroughly and quickly but makes silks like new with revived colors and pleasing freshness. The difference in results over the use of soap and water alone will amaze you. It means longer life—real economy. Energine is unexcelled also for quickly removing all dirt and grease spots from dresses, hats,- gloves and ties. Large can 35 cents at any drug itore.—Advertisement, .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WOMEN do iove to make mountains out of mole hills! “My 25-year-old daughter is engaged to a very nice boy,” said a worried mother, “but he is six months younger than she and somehow I always have felt that it is better for the husband to be several years the wife’s senior.” That is only another of those hoary traditions that have been handed down as sacred. The quicker we explode them, the better. It used to be the fashion for men of 30 to marry girls of 16. Economic and social conditions made that a good policy. The husband was supposed to be settled and w’ise and to act as guide and mentor for his meek and inexperienced spouse. These marriages turned out well, so far as the outsider could see, because all marriages did that. Divorce was a scandal and brought disgrace, on the family in those days, so the merry maiden became old over-night and nobody worried about whether she was happy or not. She was married. That was enough for any woman then.

IT’S impossible, I admit, for a young girl and an older man to be congenial. You can’t make set rules for selecting mates for other people. But it’s surely only good sense to admit that two individuals nearer the same age would have better times together and be more likely to hit it off. So far as I can see, there’s no particular point in insisting that a wife always be younger than her husband. We outlive the men two to one these days, anyway. The country is cluttered up with good-looking, lively, middleaged widows whose dead husbands were eight or ten years older than they were. We keep our health and our looks better than men do, and we have a good deal more leisure in which to preserve our beauty. We have, in fact, completely upset the orthodox belief in the husband’s seniority. The oldfashioned patriarch wore out three or four young wives, whereas the modern woman easily can outlive the same number of husbands and still be going good. DOWLING HEARD BY WOMAN’S ROTARY Henry M. Dowling spoke today at the guest luncheon meeting of the Woman’s Rotary Club at the Columbia Club, on “Russia.” Miss Minerva R. Thurston, president, presided. The Easter party for members and guests will be a dinner bridge and will be held Saturday night, April 11 at the Propylaeum. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Kaufman, West Fifty-sixth street, are spending a few days at the Hotel Pierre, New York City.

What’s in Fashion? = it. Many Kinds of Scarf Coats Directed By AMOS PARRISH

Some of the scarfs in fashion on coats.

NEW YORK, March 30.—1f you’ve finally decided on a spring coat with a scarf—as so many fashion-knowing women have —just what kind is it going to be? And that’s one of the best things about spring 1931 scarf coat fashions. You’ve got dozens to choose from. Most of them smart. Most of them individual. And at least one of them looking as though it were designed especially for you. You’re going to have lots of fun tying and arranging these scarfs. Studying them. And finally picking the one that suits you best. Many Kinds to Pick From You couldn’t do this a few seasons ago. Remember? Your coat had to have either a shawl collar or a johnny collar. And that was that. Now there are scores of different kinds of collars. And scarfs just about the most important of all. Cravat scarfs. Bow-shaped scarfs. Scarfs that are half of arever. Small ones that cross over and button down onto the coat. Extra wide ones that look like a cape when you lee them fall over one sohulder. Long ones . . , short ones . . . wide ones . . . narrow ones. Fabric scarfs and fur scarfs. And all can be worn several ways. Fur Scarf Drapes Easily We’ve had sketched just a few of the many different kinds. They’re some of the ones you’ll see most often this spring. First the coat with the fur scarf. Flat, soft, short-haired fur that ties or drapes as easily as cloth. The one illustrated above at the left is of ermine, but it might just as well be of galyak. White fur on a black or navy coat is especially smart. But black fur is fashionable, too. In this scarf one end pulls through a slit on the opposite side, if you want it fastened. But it’s worn smartly, too, with the ends left loose and lying flat like a wide rever. Some scarfs of this type are de-

tachable. They button on to the coat at the back of the neck. Simply unbutton them and you have one of the fashionable collarless coats. The sketch at the upper center shows you a cravat scarf. This happens to be of fur—galyak—but the same kind of scarf is just as often made of the coat fabric. The figure ‘below shows how it looks when it’s left open. The ends can fly—if you like them that way —but tucked under the belt you have a neat, trim look. If you can’t decide between the flattery of a shawl collar and the chic of a scarf, the type shown at the right is a good compromise. It’s a combination of both. One side is a typical wide rever. The other is finished off like a scarf and pulls through a slit under the rever. It’s illustrated in fabric, but could be made of fur. Individual, isn’t it? So—choose what you like—and make yourself youthful, sophisticated, tailored, feminine—or what you will. But always fashionable.
