"">/.•; 72 WHAT was Marlene Dietrich's last act before she set foot aboard the liner on which she sailed for France to make a motion picture? She flew to her favorite New York milliner's to buy a hat! Very characteristic. Characteristic, too, was what happened at the Lilly Dache salon when she got there. "I want three hats," she said, "no more!" But she left with thirty hats! Each of these hats presents a new and important trend, and though all were designed especially for the lovely Marlene, she consented to let Dache reproduce them for the rest of the waiting world. This is the way the smartest heads will look this coming season. Will yours be among them? 1. Teatime — and breast feathers rim the crown and coque feathers grace the brim of a coquettish little hat of raspberry velvet. This stems from the elegant '80's. 2. The rippling, off-the-face silhouette, proving again that headsize-hats can be smart without being deep and clumsy. Dietrich chose hers in red and black striped angora tweed. 3. A Little Dutch Boy's visor topped by a blousy, beret-crown. Marlene chose hers in beige suede. The milliners call it a "visorberet." 4. Sleek-as-a-seal black cire turban. The Oriental influence — with a devil's peak in back. 5. Turbans are so important, we'll have them in fur, too. Dietrich chose black fox, with a sentimental cluster of roses smack in front, and grosgrain ribbons to anchor the back. 6. Dietrich sailed away in this one! Black and white striped angora tweed postilion with pointed bandeau-back and copper anchor. 7. Another postilion (coachman to you) — in beige felt with green leather band. Marlene chose it for suits.
