Spring to Bring Shock in Hats

NEW YORK.-All winter long you've been wearing a new line of exquisite millinery that is the real thing. at last. No more of that filmy veiling, feathers and what not to LOOK like a hat.

The hats were full of body. They looked like hats.

But wait 'until the Spring parade begins! Already mink-wrapped ladies are sporting the newest in Spring headgear -with frills, flowers and veiling no end.

However, let's not rush it.

Back to the winter topic-ever since the helmet style swept into the limelight, designers have turned an ear to more of hat the fancy stuff to Hedda Hopper and less of excess junk (we hope).

Hats for winter were trimmed severely simple.

Just a rhinestone here and there, a pearl here and there or maybe nothing at all. Felts were in exciting colors, velour taking preference. Nevertheless, they're all devastating, but again, let us warn you for a spring shock, just wait and see what's coming up!
