J Hat Silhouette Is Getting

Smaller

By LOUISE FLETCHER. Times Woman's Editor Thé big news in hats is that hats aren't going to be ‘so big. Miss Olivia Collins, director of Lilly Dache's New York salon, brought that information along with about 100 hats which she is showing today ‘and tomorrow in Wasson's French salon. The chapeaux are from Dache's most recent collection, designed for holiday, resort and early spring wear. Getting back to the diminution in size of hats, Miss Collins says, “Everything is a little less ‘heavy,’ a little less in proportions.” She adds that this is in keeping with the current rounding" of dress silhouettes—particularly the rounding of shoulder lines. With squared off shoulder lines, more imposing hat sizes provided balance. Now, balance of the silhouette requires a similar rounding of headgear. Side Width Seen

Pointing up this trend is a tendency to side-width in hats, not only in brims but in crowns, too. One of the latter Mme. Dache calls a beehive crown, and it has a squarisi look when seen from the back. A majority of the new Dache styles are-worn well back on the head, exposing quite a lot of coiffure. “Even turbans,” Miss Collins says, “are suspended on the back of the head.” Mme. Dache is continuing her use of amaranthus shades (the mauve through pink range) which she began with her winter collection. And the collection at Wasson's boasts lots of holly red—for holiday wear. A hint of what's in store for next spring. and summer comes in several Camille yellow hats, Outstanding in the new collection is Mme. Dache's handling of the cloche. Under her deft fingers, that hat style is taking a profile slant which adds much to its wearability and, in some instances, gives it a dressy look.

GLITTER GLOVES for formal wear have a Renaissance richness over which a Borgia duchess or even her ducal brother might have sighed. American - made glove fashions of fine leathers are ready to cut a shine and set off, the new season's bare-bosom blacks and other dressy duds. All set to add as much sparkle to personal scenery as twinklers do to a Chrisamas tree are metallic mitts and gloves which climb all the way from the wrist to the shoulder. Add to the formal group of 16-button gloves which’ sweep past the elbow all types of daytime lengths that come lighted up for the first time for after-dark hoop-la.

On long gloves of suede or doeskin, glittery paths paved with sequins wind to the shoulder. There are dancing girl motifs embroidered in gilt and color. A doeskin glove—this time decorated with rambling roses—is encrusted with gold sequins, rubies, emeralds and amethyst make-believes. If slipons, gauntlets or shorties have more restrained glitter, it's only because there's less glove to put it on. One style of black doeskin shortie flaunts a glittering bracelet band of sequin and gold embroidery and has for a fastener a big gold sphere. Black doeskin shares the honors, half and half with gold leather, to give a pair {f gauntlets—also gold-scalloped | —its whirl at night life.
