STRAW HAT IS
BACK IN STYLE
Harmonizing of Headgear
With Outcome Effect of
New Season
EDITOR'S XOTE
Tn Salem shops the newest
fashions for the fall reason
were found and here it Is
that the story of the spTing
" tendencies is revealed. A
speciJ.l reporter for The
Statesman relates the glory.
The hats being shown early this
ear-on are largely of tailored
straw. Ballibuntl. Baku, syao),
paerly vi?ca"and Chinese Bankok
are leadinp straws. Among those
for town wear is a new straw
which Is called Paris Meme a
soft, closely woven fabric which
because of its versatility will bo
used much as felt has ben in the
past.
For wear r ith dressier cos
tumes and en-emblea we shall
have turbans of all types In many
fine pliable straws.
In all models crowns are still
uolded to the head, the season's
mark- he'ns: introduced through
the medium of a ' tailored
treatment which makes th
crown t-etm to be cut apart
and sewed together as a tailored
dress.' As' to brims, there is often
a hint of them in the soft projec
tion here and there, especially
down ov?r one side of the face,
with still a tendency to display
most of the forehead. In the hat
with a real brim, lh'elrtiVne
back Is only a trine more prom
inent than before, while apparent
ly there is no return to the exag
gerated brim of last year.
Through the whole array of
trring 1 adgear our attention .s
r:r..-n to its harmony witn the
togue f r all that is feminine and
.1a!nty in the matter of drws. Thi
sleek, severe felt hats that hare
been in the foreground so long,
will find themselves second to
straws and fabrics which sound
a daintier note. N

since It keeps the shoos from fal

doing without laces.
ine scarf la a very necessary
item for sport and dress outfits
The tr-icolor hand blocked scarf
is still good in both triangular and
Tangular shape.
there Is' a variety of new shapes
from which we may choose also.
Some are formed of two triangles'
of contrasting shades, while oth
ers are shaped to fit the neck line
quite closely. There are some in
narrow reversible style with
fringed ends which would go we'll
with the extremely tailored coat
or suit. The important fact, how
ever. In connection with scarfs. Is
that they must be In harmony
with th3 color scheme of hat,
frock. -and jewelry.
FLOWKRS AND JEWELRY ADD
A flower often adds just the
finishing touch to the ensemble.
Gardenias and violets are consid
ered smartest by fashion author
ities, though there are many othr
er dainty and efective flower dec
orations to be had. The corsage
type seems to lead in popularity
over the simple blossom variety.
except in the use of the gardenia
ana similar nowers on tailored
things.
Costume Jewelry has asumed a
most important role in the sea
son's mode. There are neck-
r
laces, bracelets and. earrings for
every type of personality and cos
tume. Dainty flat Collars In gold
or silrer are fonnd which will be
HoweverVproprlate at all times, Tfe the
sincm np-io-aaie person,? tne
new -modernistic bracelets, Tery
wide and Tery distinctive In de
sign, will appeal. The filigree
pieces, with delicate color combin
ations may be bad for the daintier
taste. A new number, which Is
especially attractive is the ron
delle. a small-cut crystaline bead
in one, two, or thre strands. The
Chanelle, composed of a heavier
bead, metal-rimmed, Is rery
smart. Jewelry may be found In
al the new shades, in range to
meet the demands of new spring
dresses.
Hose In the complexion shades
are being shown now. The fair
tan, blush tan and sun tan
shades are all included in this
classification. These strike a
note of neutrality, as do the
matching bags and gloves. Bags
are of three styles, the pouch, en
velope and vagabond, and they
come in shades of blond, tan,
beige, and stone. There are a
few, however, in navy and red.
Jewelled clasps are shown In
those for dress.

Sportswear undeniably Is grow
ing more and more an important
factor In the average American
woman's dress. It has become
something of a habit and that
much as certain, whatever the
reason. .
It is argued that the fair sex,
one and all, is so athletic or, at
least, sports-minded, and spends
so jnuch time in the open that
sports clothes naturally have be
come the requisite of suitable and
comfortable dress.
Knitted garments, it Is assert
ed,, have proved to be the most
practical in travel and the travel
habit has increased extensively.
Thus sports clothes for informal
day wear win out at home and
abroad.
EVERYONE FOLLOWS
FAsraox '
There are theorists who still
claim woman is but a tool of fash
Ion, and they insist that Paris has
simply sponsored knitted things
and there's an end on It every
one following meekly in the di
rection of her pointed finger.
Each or any of these reasons
Is sound, but Inasmuch as fashion
Is expressive of the times and art
Is Interpretative of the modern
spirit, styles are first of all color
ful and then practical hence the
fad for knitwear, so especially at
tuned to these requirements.
Jersey already has been classi
fied as one of the most classic
daytime materials.' But other
knitted fabrics have appeared in
avequ windows in one-piece
dresses and ' coated frocks that
are a real Incentive to assembling
the spring wardrobe.
Two lightweight woolen sleeves
in a jaeket costume are passe. The
1929 model either is a sleeveless
dress with a coat, or a long sleev
ed frock and a' jacket without
sleeves for the simple reason of
eliminating that too warm feeling
JEWELRY EMPHASIZED
The Importance of the roundel
In spring Jewelry fashions is em
phasized again and again in all the
lines. It is developed In the im
portant wedding ring type set
with rhinestones, with marcasite,
engraved in plain metal, in rings
of marcasite and is shown com
prising whole pieces or most often
alternating with, stones. The
versatile crystal agin appears for
spring and is often seen in matt
and La Lique efects. Reproduc
tion of the antique is Important,
reproduction that is not only of
design but very often of finish.

common to the spring.
These two. ways of handling the
sleeve problem are illustrated
one in a three-piece suite of pastel
tinted boucle weave. Contrasting
worsted embroideries form the
decorative lines In the sleeveless
Jumper and the Coat, the entire
ensemble blng a smart and charm
lng model of sports genre.
The sleeveless Jacket is revived
frequently enough to ever seem
new. In a model pictured, yellow
jersey fashions the jacket worn
over a long-sleeved frock, design
ed in green and yellow. A hug?
yellow silk bow finishes the neck
line of the dress and flat crepe
bows of the print are risible at
the deep amhole of the Jacket
which is bound with the print.
In lieu of a hem the pleated skirt
Is piped with the plain colored
jersey, which also edges the turn
back cuff's.
COMBINATION" USED
Blouse, skirt and scarf com
prise another version of the three
piece sports costume, as illustrat
ed in a model, having a light
toned solid color skirt and a
bright knitted Jersey blouse
trimmed with a three-rone strap
running diagonally across front
and back. The large scarf car
ries out the motif of the blouse.
In avenue knitted fashions,
checks and dots share honors with
embre stripes and zigzag effects.
A DECORATIVE NOTE FOR
THE BEDROOM
For those rooms that are frank
ly bed rooms and not all-purpose
rooms, a pretty and colorful ac
cesssory is the gown bag that
looks like a luscious flower In full
bloom and may be hung on the
wall or on the foot of the bed.
Two circles of colored straw
are used for centerpieces and a
puff of harmonizing taffeta gath
ered around them to form a circu
lar bag. A wreath of ribbon
flowers is appllqued on the front
circle of straw, and a silken cord
used for hanging.
A POXVEXTEXT PIECE FOR

In the tiny hallway the corner
cabinet with upper shelves en
closed by glass or mirror doors of

dcorative piece.
