ANY hats make a light heart
-—or so it would seem to the
woman whose millinery prob-
lem .is to cover her head smartly
with but one or two new hats every
six months. Here canmt be the Joy
of buying a hat capriciously. choos-
ing this but to go with but it single
frock, or that but because the funny
little pasted feather bird on the up.
turned brim takes her fancy.
But the woman who is strich
limited in the number of hats she
may buy makes a mistake if she
never selects one of the more ex-
treme types of the season. For in-
stance. she may reason this autumn
that since she must wear her hat. or
two. so often and so long she must
not have one of the new high-
crowned shapes that have already
replaced the cloche in Paris and are
winning their way rather slowly
into favor on this side of the At-
lantic. She may feel that since she
must have a hat do service for so
man-J occasions it must not be too
“advanced."
select a really smart hat—a. but so
new that it will not appear to be
hopelessly out of style several
months hence?
If There Are Two
Take the case of the woman who
has but two hats for the season.
Usually it is wiser for her not to
choose for "every day" a hat too
decidedly of the sport persuasion.
for there will be "every-day occa-
sions" when a sport hat would be
inappropriate. But the every-day
hat should emphatically be email.

Usually the all-black hat is well

selected for the single every-day
hat, though browns this year are
playing an important role in street
hats. A but that would fit in well
with such requirements would be a
soft felt shape with narrow rolling
brim. trimmed at the right side with
a black pompon. Four-fifths of all
hate sold this autumn are said to be
black—and it’s safe to say that
among very well—dressed women the
black hat is even astronger favorite.
The woman of two hats must
think long sndciu-efully before set-
ting her “best" bat. and she must
of course be guided by her mode of
life, the size and character of the
town she lives in. the nature of her
social requirements. etc. Just as a
suggestion. take a black hatter’s
plush hat with a decidedly high
crown, and the brim tau-nod sharply
up and pointed at the left -lde. An
edging of silver all around the brim
lends the note of brilliance that is
appropriate to special occasions.
Ostrich-trimmed hats are legion
in the miliinery hats at‘present. but
remember that ostrich is not ope.
cinlly durable. An excellent effect
can be gained by metallic trimming
of some sort. Some of the velvet
and batters plush hats are trimmed
with embroiderr in metal thread.
That is a good selection also. .
Tinned-let Groups
But isn't it wiser to.
you may. or you may not. wantrto
have one of them a sport hat. In
country and suburban sections sport
hats—with sport things generally-
are very widely adopted for
morning street and motor.wenr by
well-dressed women. In town one
of the simple. stiff. mannieh shapes
seems more appropriate to tailored
street attire. «
One . of the newest sport hats
shows a combination of hatter's
plush and 'felt in the crown. with
the usual upturned brim of the felt.
Beige. gray. soft blue, green, one of
the wood greens or a copper tone
are good colors for these hats. Felt
sport hats continue to come to us
unbound. It is thus that-they seem
most smart. Then they are handed
with a strip of matching felt—not
with silk ribbon—and show trim-
ming at side, front or back of felt.
Sometimes there are "wings“ or
"quills" of the material. and some-«there
times a small bow. ,
With one open hat in your collec-
tion a second not should be selected
for more formal street wear and less
ceremonious afternoon occasions. A
small hat with high trimming of
moire ribbon was selected for this.
and the group of three was finished
with a Napoleonic shape trimmed
and draped with black lace.
In the other group of three. a
black satin dnish.postillion hat was
chosen for street wear and a small
draped shape trimmed with an
enormous pomponrwas added for in-
formal afternoon with a square-
brimmed black ‘ lace 'hnt trimmed
with black velvet for formal after-
noon. This icon excellent type of

sion to wear a but frequently in the

For this ,group we have selected one
of the more extreme sport hats—e.
tailmwned felt shape with a very
narrow brim trknmed with gold
gimp. The gold gimp bands the hat
and forms a icon and end at the left
side.
For the street but in this group
there's‘s. plush shape banded with
ribbon with a saliuth ornament
right in the middle of the front. It
is a shape fromMnrguerite et Leonie
that seems to combine many of the
good points of the cloche and the
high-crowned directoire hat. An

Maria Guy. A com-colored plush
shape trimmed with a. high bow of

hat completes the quartette—very

in favor, giving us a feather that is
light and almost transparent. ome-

ostrich than anything else. Some
of these are of single color. some of

of two tones.
two contrasting colors are placed

suggest a rather unusual sport
shape—e. bound felt shape with a
very high round crown and a fairly
wide brim. suggesting the wide
Directoire poke. For street. one
medium size velvet shape with wide
fabrici draped cuff and another a
close-fitting blue velour narrow-
brimmed boke with brilliant-colored
embroidery on the crown. With five
hats at your disposal you might in-
clude one of the new wide-brimmed
hats, and here we have a white felt

sailors if you wish a large hot. one
most attractive model of black vei-
vet showing as its only trimming a
large pouffe of scarlet velvet on the
under side of the brim just over the

An evening hat for this group is a

ribbon circling the crown, looped at
the right side and hanging in two
uneven streamers over the shoulder.
