A. Tolophono SL. SHf SILHOUETTES By Cleo Sims This is a wonderful season of the year. Our well dressed women are really something to look at. They look so attractive in the new smart and pretty hats.

Time and again, you see women at church, luncheons and the theatre without a hat. Snrelv she can find a hat to suit her taste, her purse, and her personality. While walking along Fifth I find it difficult to watch the store windows because watching the well dressed women go by holds me spellbound. Bi weekly, I make the trip downtown, always in anticipation of seeing something new and exciting.

Piano Recital The brilliant young pianist, Sam uel Dilworth, will make his only New York appearance for the season at Carnegie Recital hall, on Sunday, Nov. 20, at 5:30 p.m. The appearance is being sponsored by the Dilworth Sponsors, Warren Marr, 2d, chairman.

Since he made his first major New York appearance 4 years ago, Mr. Dilworth has appeared not only in the 57th st. concert halls, but in a number of radio broadcasts as well. He has earned for himself a well deserved reputation for fine performance. As a youth, several years ago, Mr.

Dilworth impressed his community so thoroughly with his ability and his sincerity of pur pose that more tnan 40 persons from Brooklyn formed Dilworth Sponsors for sole purpose of assisting the pianist, financially, to secure musically training needed by a concert virtuoso. All receipts from the Nov. 20 appearance will be used for the completion of Dilworth's formal training. Mrs. Edna Miles is chairman of the ticket committee.

In these materials you may have draped berets worn straight on the head, giving one the sophisticat ed look.
