Big Flowers, Brims Decorate New Hats
Color is the keynote for the 1958 spring hats-solid color, stark white, neutral straw, flowers and bold prints.
Flowers bloom from the chapeau of many a fashionable lady this spring. Big flamboyant flowers—roses, sweet peas, poppies and chrysanthemums, sport colors Mother Nature never created in them.
Colors dominating the hat world are the same as those dominating the whole fashion picture. Brilliant greens, yellows, apricots, electric blues, spicy pinks and beiges will all be an emphasis for the stark black and white.
White color is bolder this year; hat shapes have become softer and draped to complement the lines of the chemise. Draping and manipulation achieve these softening effects. Another soft rock is obtained through big rippling brims.
Besides brims of the rippling variety, brims come rolled up, worn straight and turned down. They vary in size from a narrow ledge around the crown to the large rippling variety.
Salior hats are seen with slightly turned up brims, rolled brims, with round crowns and with square crowns. One type of sailor hat that is making a return this season is the breton sailor. It is worn straight on the back of the hairline, and comes in a variety of sizes. Its turned up brim is the perfect matchmate for the new little boy chemise blouses.
Turbans and cloches are on the way up the scale of popularity. The head-hugging hats complete the 1920's look brought back with the return of the chemise. Silk prints adapt very well to the lines of the turban. Other materials used in the draped hats are straw cloth, mat jersey, felt and braided orgyandy.
Small hats are high on the list of what women want this spring. Tams and toques are seen a great deal. Little tiny hats are made completely with flowers. Bows on a clip are another popular style.
One clever hat trick this season is the matching hat and blouse material. The chemise blouse is made of a floral print and the small sailor or
clip hat is constructed of the same material.
Big floppy - brimmed, square crowned, straw hats do double duty as dress hats and sun hats. Dressed up versions of this style have crowns filled with huge flowers, drapy chiffon bands and streamers, or are made of brightly colored straw. Sun hats merely boast brightly colored ribbon and streamers.
There is no particular style for this season, but a bevy of types to choose from. One can choose the type best suited to her and still be in vogue. With all the variety in style the hat will be an important emphasis this spring.

MY CLOSEST SHAVE by Elgin Ciampi Skin Diver, Shark Expert, Author
"My closest shave happened under water while baiting sharks to photograph," says shark expert Elgin Ciampi. "My speared bait-fish hid in a hole, pouring clouds of blood around me. Smelling blood, a 7-foot man-eater, unable to find the bait, rushed me. I dodged and started taking pictures. I kept the camera between us while the shark circled hungriily for five full minutes. Then my air supply ran short, so I used psychology: I lunged at the shark with my camera. Startled, he shot away—and so did I!"
