HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance, 1910-08-25, Page 26.1 Perhaps it was the long, cold spring which influenced the designers of smart niiiinery this summer, or it may have been only the unquenchable desire fur novelty 'which has caused the utilization of the verioue materials from which the newest midsummer hats are made up, textures which hitherto have been seen only in the .models intendea for the height of the winter season. An all vel vet toque trimmed with quirs or even ostrich feathers, was, for example, nevei before eonsidered appropriate until at - most after the first snowfall, yet each is worn now with a lingerie gown, tie though the combination were the most consistent imaginable. Even fur is used .ae a trimming on one of the very smart est French models, formed of lice and chiffon, but it ie not likely Lhat fur will ever terve a Om in the summer (*ant for an American resort. aloth, if not rust, does corrupt too quickly In our zone. The most charming of all simmer hats however, are bound to be the wide brim mea leghornst adorned with great Franca roses, lace and ribbons. There is a sug- gestion of the eloehe, or bell'ehape, still evident in nearly all the large hats, but the brims are inueh more spread out than was the ease a year ago, giving the effect of not, quite so high a hat. This is but an opticai illusion. however. as will be seen as soon as the attempt is made to pack the hat of the present sea- son in last year's hat box, The greater width of the crown makes it appear not so high as 'before, but it is in reality somewhat deeper if anything. The exag- geretedly wide crown -larger than the top of the head could poseibly disappearing, and the minutest hits all have now an effect of fitting the shape of the head peculiarly well. The erown, in other words, must never seem to etand out ,beyond the sidee of the head, so that were it not for n bandeau or halo within the list would fall down and at once smother the wearer. formal afternoon wear. it is not neces- sary, however, to have the entire hat ot velvet. Perhaps the brim limy be faced with straw or the trowu and facingg may be of velvet, while the upper part of the brim is of yellow, white or color- et1 crin. Illowers relieve the larger vel- vet hats. Lace is also usea to soften the black velvet and to make it look lighter. Fortunately, the velvet hats are fashioned in some miraculous man- ner which makes them really no heavier than the thinnest straw. Cornflower blue Is a favorite Shade of the moment and is introduced with ev- ery color that evill admit of the combin- ation. Thistle is another favorite trim- ming and a touch of cornflower blue vet - vet on a white hat veiled in back tulle with a great cluster of full blown this. ties as trimming was inost attractive. Black Velvet Sunshades. There is no real limit for the size of the nate of the present moment -no limit in any direction, it might be said. make the widest Gainsborough look like When largo they are so large as to a Scotch cap. When small they are very small and rapidly growing narrower. At the same time a hat of medium size does not necessarily look out of date. Some hats are very high, others apparently quite low and flat, yet if the proportions and lines are correct they will look smart. A high bandeau instead of a flat "halo" is worn M some of the newest hats when it is desired to keep the slop- ing brim from entirely enveloping the face. The height of the bandeau must depend entirely upon the individual. This means largely the way in which the hair is worn, for upon this depends al- most entirely the adjustment of the hat. No summer costume is perfect with- out its sunshade, even though the hat is itself wider than the parasol, for a parasol must be carried to give a finished effect to the whole. There are many novelties in the parasols of the present year, but chief among thein is the sunshade of black velvet lined with softly shirred white ohiffon. Somewhat incongruous, perhaps, a velvet parasol is nevertheless exceedingly effective, and a black velvet is more effeotive than any other. It must have a very long handle, almost a shepherd's crook, of courseawithout the crook, and it must not be too wide when open, for then it might be heavy. It is absolutely plain save for the lining, but the sticks and the handle may be as costly as desired. As yet a velvet sunshade is by no means cheap, even in its simplest form. New Satin Scarfs. Brocade parasols are also smart this year and the silk sunshades so covered, or, to speak more strictly, so cut by open English embroidery as to be not snades al all, are also much in demand. The shapes of many of the newest para- sols are strange and curious to behold, every possible design being attempted, even the Japanese umbrella with its numerous sticks being carried out in silk and linen. The handle, too, is an all important part of the parasol of to -day. Tortoiee shell and amber, with monogram or in- itials in gold, are always in fashion, but now the craze is for the different kinds of costly enamel ware in exquisite shades of mauve and blue. There are curiously carved woodea handles also, and the utility or vanity handles, with tiny powder box and mirror at the top, are approved by all followers of feebiort. Another complement to a costume for late summer or early autumn is one of the new satin scarfs. Black, faced with white, about half a yard in width and two and a half yards long, is the most popular combination, but there aro els° black scarfs seen lined with cornflower blue, and even raspberry pink, accord- ing to the costume itself. There arc some scarfs now sold which are wide enough to form regular wraps, and these are seen in both chiffon an two thicknesses of satin. A. T. Ashmore. SWEET LAVENDER HAS 1IS Flat Hats Also. There are some few quite flat hits also. These are the hats that are unusu- ally wide, the brim curved down slightly all around, but the hat tilted slightly on one side, so that while one part of the face is almost completely hidden the wearer shall still be recognizable from the view point on Poe other side. The brim is wide and bent up slightly on the side. In the large hats the crown is gen erally curved or rounded. seldom flat. While there is eonsiaerable adornznent on many of the ernartest Models, others again of the eoetlieet hats are delight- fully plain. A wide brimmed black criu shape which bent down slightly both back and front, but not at the sides, had for its sole trimming an enormous cream colored rose. The medium sizal crown was softened 'by a fold of soft Dfd eni wee softened by a. soft told of black satin. Carrietl out in iegborn, with a great pink rose and with tulle instead of ribbon about the crown, this hat was also exceptionally pretty. Mony of the most attractive midsum- mer hats are veiled in softly shirred neat or lace. The crown is left phtin, while the brim is softened with either blaek, white or colored marine. Most often it is the yellow straws which are veiled, but the white and the black crins, leghorns and clam are also treated in the same manner, About the crown will be a wreath of greet leaves, with three or four great roses or poppies and grass or wheat standing up from the wreath to give height to the hat. Wheat in all colors. even black, is much used in trimming at the moment, and grass of all kinds Is cleverly imitated in silk and cotton. 'The great silk peonies an'l pop- piee are also most effective, two or thre eueli flowers being often quite sufficient trimming on one hat, Black Satin Shade Hats. There is a return to the idea of the liugerie hat in the morning hats of Eng- lish embroidery, trimmed only with a wide flaring bow of bright colored rib. - non. These embroidery hats, however, are unlike those of former years in that they are attathed to a stiff wired frame and there is no soft ruffle edge tb fell down becomingly over the brim. Silk and even foulard hats are also seen for morning wear, but it is doubtful It these will ever receive heatty approval from Dame Fashion. Most desirable of all for morning wear, however, are the perfectly plain hats of black satin trimmed only with a wide bowknot of the same, They are flat, wide brimmed, really shade hets, and so Cleverly made that they ate no heavier than the thinuest of straw. It is a novel idea for raidatinurter, but with a simple waist and skirt tostutne these black satin hate are wonderfully smart. The all black satin models have also invaded the realm of afternoon dress. With a Week and White costume of milk or voile, of lace or lingerie, 4 really small blaek satin hat made with nterrot brim and high crown, adorned only with ft AIN wired bow of the same satifl. gives a most perfect finieli to the Meet of the whole. Large flower bedecked hats are most wotri by young girls, but for older Wo- men there is nothing more in vogue than the quite small satin hate.

The embroid- ery used on these collars is fine to 4 degree, and the delicate insets of lace motifs are sometimes very choice, Made at Home. The Peter Pan collars at their best are very expensive, but the woman who is clever with her needle will find it a pleasant and easy inatter to copy the designs where lace edgings are used in combination with insertions in soft lawn or cambric, provided she lied a good pat- tern for the foundation of the collar. AUTUMN BRINGS THE SMALL HAT, Ever and always the small hat Is the first choice, for certeiu wear, and it see• years every sewing and ;all. As usual, this sante small hat, according to the latest reports from Paris, promises to take first place in the early autumn mil- linery modes. Already the great Para sten 'mime are preparing an array of hats in small becoming sizes and shapes for the Trouville season. Among the most notable styles there are small tur- ban shapes, which fit the head, closely, with no trimmiug my° a brush aigrette trailing solely on to the coiffure at the siae. These turbans, made of Chantilly lace, are swathed to the head liko an Eastern headdress. The folds cross over the front and turn softly back to show the off- ture, and the sides are draped. well over the ears. These hats are most becom- ing and can be worn with almost any toilette. eCiose.fitting hats are also being made in 'regal and velvet. The Tegal is used for the frame of the hat, and the velvet is looped in bow effects at the back, the bows standing out and resting on the hair. Velvet is used entirely for ' swathed turban hat made something af- ter the style of An old-fashiorzed, bathing cap. This hat, which conies well down on the head, is made of folds of velvet in a rich deep pansy blue tone, and a band of ribbon velvet in the same shade of blue encircles the edge and finishes at the side of the front in a bow with ends left to droop over the coiffure. Some *f the hats of this type are encircled with thick silk cord, weighted at the side with two silk tassels. Ye Lace Frill. Hats in small shapes are being made in black satin, with an under -frill of thick white lace, the lace coming only about an inch below the edge of the hat. The crown, which is fairly high, Is drap- ed with puffed folds of the satin, and the brim is just sufficiently large to frame the face and fit the head. closely at the back, while the white laee peeps-dut be- comingly from under this'brim:swhich is made of swathed folds of the siatin. 4 RIVALS. Lavender, orris root, fresh rose es- sence -these are the popular scent's of the moment. Iu summer, when every flower is in keen rivalry to smell sweet- er, grow quicker, and distil the sunshire into the color of its petals more bril- liantly than its fellows, there is uo Pace for artificial perfumes. The scent which scents the air around almost indefinably with the breath of the country lanes is, M fact. the fashionable perfume. The Modern Way. Every article of the toilet receives its mod. But not by dropping a little es- sence of "new mown hay," as of old. The woman of the day 'believes in perfmning everything about her with a faint re- miniscence of the hedgerows. By means of ,sachets among her veils and lingerie, millinery and gloves and house linen she creates an impression of summer in everything which belongs to her. Making Orris Lasting. Orris root is a favorite choice. R gives the faint smell of a wood of viol- ets, and is by no means so clogging as even fresh verbena or rose essence. To make it lasting there is but one secret. A. sachet • of the powder remains fresh but a very short time if it is merely inclosed M a bag of muslin and laid among the underlinen or handkerchiefs. If it is baketi in the oven, however, be- tween layers of wadding, there will be a different story to tell.
