MAYFAIR HAT PARTY

Styles for the Spring BRITISH DESIGNS POPULAR Dominion Special Service. (By Mavis.) Loudon, February 17. Spring hats are most intriguing. I went to a “hat party”—a disguised cocktail party—last week which was given by a well-known designer as a house-warming. She has just moved into new premises and. like all the British designers, is trying to establish herself as what is known as a model house. French hats are •‘tabu” now to the Englishwoman, and from the models I have soon it does not seem sis if the “Paris hat” will be missed. The new hats, for the most part, whether they have brims or not, are modelled on tilted lines. They do not have to be placed on the head “at an angle” for they are made very much “sit an angle” and, when placed straight on the head, will give the tilted effect. Some of the newest models are extreme in their lines aud. while they leave one side of the face and almost half the head uncovered, the other side of the- face and one eye are almost invisible. These hats are, of course, modelled to suit the wearer’s style of hairdressing—if she parts her hair on the right side, the hat is made to cover the right eye; if the parting is on the left, the left eye is obscured.
