WHAT WOMEN WANT TO KNOW

. "H..E .. .. HATS
Among the round hats for winter use arc
two shapes which promise to be mora worn
than any others. Gao of theso has a high
crown and a small brim IN front and on the
sides. The back of tho brim turns up. The
other hat has a round crown and a small brim,
which leaves :he nape of the neck uncovered
in the back. The btim extends slightly over
the eyes in front, like a lc&ey's cap. The
trimming for this shape generally co lsjsts of
q bunch of ostrich tips placed in front a little
to die left. Another sty e ia the Louis NJ. hat,

Walking Dresses.

NislilnS aud walking suits are still made
with round, short skirts. and trains are re-
served for very ceremonious occasions. For
example, an evening toilet of light pink crepe
de Chine has a $ lightly pufred round SIX ri,
which fails over VOL pink satin p'al'ings. The
lolonaise may be OF pam pink fabric or of
cherry color and pink combined. The back
ferns the putting, and, if necessary, the train.
The poioua Sc may be replaced by a pointed
waist of a chestnut brown brocaded satin, with
flat paniers of the brown satin arranged over
fun pauiers of pink satin which fall below.
his brown brncade is much combined with
pink goods. Gray toilets retain favor. some
of these are iii one shade of gray, the only
contrast being in the combining of fabrics with
and without gloss. Otuers are in light and dark
frars, gray aud brown, or gray aud Pompadour
goods. Very pretty fancy suits are to be seen
IN the latter comblna,lon-. They have plated
skirts. with the plaits about ono inch deep, al
trraatilg in gray ''muire'' aud cherry aud

is made for wear with this skirt a

and turns back on either side to form
