ihe American ldea is rhat'certam Einds of • hats team up perfectly. vith hoods, making for a chic ippearance and at- the same time dlowing a woman to look 00moletely ' dressed when she removes ;he ho'od. As long as hoods are made with Dlenty of materialj'so that they fall ioftly on the shoulders they will go ;asily over small, simple hats of :eit or fabric. Most suitable- shapes. ire berets, tricornes, pill-boxes, ;oques and turbans. Would stick-up trimmings be in ;he way? Not uriless they are pariicularly prominent. Arrange the lood so that the trimming is on the Dutside. - For street wear, football or the races, this fashion protects against 30ld winds or rain and is equally suitable ' for the 'teen-ager or the sophisticafe. Hats can either match Dr contrast with the hoods. The following are. some of the ideas: Hood pinned back on a high pillbox, especially good for the small woman. ' • Tricorne curved over the fojehead, with the hood framing it. Striped turban worn under the hood. Smart quill trimming worn outside the hood which covers the hat.
