Easier bonnet fashions are dramatically different. -The newest hats have curving contours that give attention-value and effectively headline slim costumes. Leading designers and manfacturers call these Alrve-canscious hats "bounti ful" silhouettes. . The hat of inflated outline, whether mild or mammoth in size, achieves its "bountiful" Jook in two ways. It may be a toque all crown, puffed up over the merest sliver of a brim or no brim at all. Or, it may be a hat with a brimful of curves a deep bell cloche or- a widespread brim with a bold flange turned up or down or cushioned for a look of volume. Pillboxes Grow Larger On the other hand, milliners have not forgotten the woman who is reluctant to wear a very big hat. For her. there are -charming small toques that are simply pillboxes grown Jarger, higher in the crown, curved at the edges ana nttea more securely on me Drow. Small tambourine silhouettes are also easy to wear, lne snaiiow shell becomes a cushioned bonnet, its prow brim reaching forward to shade the brow. Small sailors with larger-than-headsize crowns are another choice. While most brimmed hats are posed level across the top of the head, the deep, downward curve of their brims makes them seem to be pushed forward. Smaller, pot-shaped toques are often tilted down almost to the eyebrows. Look Feminine The new hats are feminine without being fussy. Flowers are I pressed and restrained under veiling. Blossoms and petals, arranged in a stylized manner, make the all-flower hat look like a silk print. Snips of pastel feathers and small frills of uncurled ostrich com bine with flowers or are appliqucd on straw and veiling. Lace in serts, embroidery and tiny beads in matching or harmonizing hues give pattern and texture to straws. Airy malines and tulle are importantly used for entire hats or for richly draped bands and edges. Silk organdy and chiffon are draped on straws and featherweight felts. Silks and sheers make both casual and dressy hats. Fine balibuntals, toyos, shantungs and shiny panamalacs high-1 light the importance of fine, smooth straws. Rough-textured straws often .have a brilliant, satiny sheen. Synthetic strawcloths appear in weaves that imitate fabrics such as satin, ribbed faille, alpaca and shantung. .. "First of all, a ew suit" ex presses many a woman's ooinion of how to plan her Easter ward robe. This season, designers re spond to 'the feminine point of view by giving suits a place of first importance in the fashion news. There's news, both In silhnn. cites and fabrics. Easy - fitted does it for the freshest. vnnm.t suit look, but the lies in the variety of styles that win approval everything from LINEN LOOK RETURNS The linen look in suits returns this year (minus the troublesome cleaning and pressing problem.) s practical as they are handsome, the new suits are made with a high content of "Dacron" blended with either rayon, cotton or linen, itself. They take readily to wash ing, seldom heed more than a touch-up with an iron. Wrinkles of normal wear hang out. SHORTEN SKIRTS Without fanfare, skirts have been made slightly shorter. Just below the knee lengths appear in the spring collections of some designers. for a bridge benefit, a concert, an art show, a graduation exer cise, a luncheon meeting, or to the polls on election day in May, this empire-look suit of crease resistant Irish linen would get everyone's vote. With a suit as simple but flattering as this in her closet, milady can never lament, "I have nothing to wear." : Color Sparks Latest Jewelry Use of color is an important highlight of -spring jewelry, the Jewelry Industry Council reports. Beads of lilac, rose or aqua are strung into multiple-strand neck laces designed for a wide or V neckline. For a' brighter theme there are necklaces in coral, deep turquoise and royal blue often teamed with matching earrings and bracelets. Some beads are opalescent, flecked with gold or bright color, while others arc clear and spark ling, in sapphire, emerald and ruby colors, linked with gold metal. Chalk white combines with gold metal for a new and interesting treatment of white jewelry. In cluded are large earrings, base of throat necklaces and rigid cuff bracelets with flower motifs. White beads in unusual shapes such as triangles are framed in gold wire to dangle from a necklace of uniform-size beads. For late afternoon and evening wear, rhinestones in golden set tings continue as favorites. Pearl jewelry, another classic, is often combined with rhine stones and set in silvery or gold colored metal. Marbelized print dresses teamed i with solid color coats have touna a wide audience.
