Colors With the
Milliner
BLACK hats trimmed with pink
or rose shades are among the
good things offered for spring.
and you may- wear a black hat with
brim faced with pink‘or rose With-
out any doubt as to its calmness.
Not for many seasons have so
many colors been used by the rail-
liners as this sprint. and though
there are good looking black hats
there will be less dispositionbn the
part of women to wear dark and
colorless hats this season than at
any time since the outbreak ‘of the
war. Maria _Guy of Paris is one. of
the French mllliners who is still
stressing that 'ptirplish red known
as fuchsi’ She also uses deep
blues and a soft light green.
Gray and turquoise blue is a
combination that seems to be
favored for spring by many of the
milliners, and we shall doubtless
see a good deal of light brown com-
bined with green. Brown and tan.
as well as black and white. will be
the other highly favored combina-
tions among the milliners.
Beige and pink is a combination
that has been stressed by.eerfain
milliners. “’ith hats made of. natural
color straw or silk are used» light
pink or rose flowers with excellent
effect and all pink hats have been
worn with good effect in combina—
tion with frocks made in the so-
called natural colors—beige and tan
