COHERE will be more thrills over the millinery in the coming warm days than over any other aspect of the spring mode. For although there are a few fundamental changes in frock and coat styles, there are changes galore among hats and anything from the perkiest quilldecked tiny to the largest flower-trimmed cartwheel will be found. In spite of their great versatility, however, hats can be grouped into two main sections, the dressy feminine types and the tailored, simple modes. And in both these groups there is noticeable a great predisposition to wear one’s chapeau straight on the head. As the season advances more and more flowers will be seen, on tops of hats, along the edges, and under the brims. In fact, flowers will run a close second only to veils in order of popularity. A mode for which great things are predicted is the sunshine hat, and this will have several sup porlers in the glass brim style. Another great sunlight type will be the crownless hat, a smart sample of which is shown on this page. The sports and tailored hats will also enjoy a great popularity and for these the many exotic straws will be used. Two of the girls appearing on this page have been chosen by film directors for Australian pictures, Miss June Munro, the pretty daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Munro, playing a small part in “Orphan of the Wilderness,” which will make its premiere I in the near future, being one, and the other being Miss Jean Mort, to be known as Jean Laidley, who left recently by the Morinda for “Mystery Isle” with a film company. The third girl on the page is Miss Theo Stephens, another attractive Sydney girl. This charming model, worn straight on the head, is of Miles herringbone straw with small white lily of the Valley decorating the edge of the brim. Miss Theo Stephens adds to the floral scheme by wearing a huge posy of marguerites on her shoulder.
