HATS AND eoNNeTs.
Bccentricities in Headgear That Dfstin-
guish the Autumnal Season.


Fall hats and bonnets are rece wing
early attention. The English walking
hat, the turban, and peaked brimmed
hats are to be shown by the fail trade,
but large brimmed shapes such as the
Marlborough and "Gaipsboro," are
hurrying to favor again fast. A straw
Ii both black and brown is shown,
nameless, that is sure to win favor. 1t
has brim of medium width that can
be rolled up at the side or front at
pleasure. or worn down and over the
forehead. The latter will be the fash
ionable tip, but after the recent long
reign of hats that tipped back 1t may
not take with every one at first. This
hat has a medium high crown somewhat
larger in circumference at the top and
bottom than round the center Of the
wall. The hat needs facing, which will
usually be Of velvet. At the seashore
large leghorn hats are worn in the
morning without any outside trimming
except scarf of tulle or null wound
round the crown, crossed In the back,
and brought round to the front and
side and tied in bow In Paris
very large Italian straws are worn
turned or rolled" up at the side la
Marie Arithmetic. These are but point
ers 1t remains to be seen whether the
reign of the odd, fanciful and quaint in
shapes will not run into the fall styles
as it has thrcngh those of spring and
summer. In half hat half bonnet
shape there is shown model with high,
military, conical crown. deeply indented
at the top. The brim is very wide and
oval in front. very narrow behind and
rolls up high from the face.
Eccentricities in trimming will surely
continue if the first note of change
struck is any key to the matter. Lon
don Truth says that the bdi,ts de nier
(bathing season) always gives rise to
eccentricties in head-gear and furnishes
novel ideas for fall trade. The latest
caprice from the seaboard vanity fairs
is a cascade of MORE ribbon loops
placed on the top of the high crown,
falling in shower over the back of the
hat, with only few drops of the
shower hanging in front. The
latest novelty in Paris trimmed
hats - and this on fall models
lis the placing of cluster of feathers
at the back of the tall crown. few OF
the tips shown lying from a front view.
Fer instance, il the crown is high and
straight, scarf trimming may sur
round it, and the plume or ribbon trim
ming DO massed at the back Especial
ly is this to be done where the front
brim is wide and the back enc narrow
or open. Will this take? A good deal
of the becomingness of a hat depends
on its trimming. In fact, some can not
wear hat at all unless converted into
an object totally unlike itself by its trim
ming. Now all can not and will not
look well in hat apparently turned
with the back I'd the front, and there
may be little war among our millin-
ers before the new order of things is
adopted.
One thing seems pretty certain OF
fashionable sanction; the use of tips
and plumes. The ascendancy of the
wide-brimmed round hat necessitates
this. We have heard of more than
one maiden who has been signing for
months over her inability to make use OF
the long plum es she has laid away,
(and perchance also over the folly OF
buying more,) while high-crowned,
narrow-b rimmed hats have been in
style. To such the opening vista given
of probable fall millinery will be well
come. No woman, indeed, will quarrel
with the feather feature, for all know
there are few things more becoming on
hat than wavy plume. Besides the
MIN
of all kinds are already shown,
Wings are seen mounted with small
palm breasts. single or double bird
head at the foot. Small parrots in
natural greens and in dyed colors are
seen in every assortment. From these
and other suggestions, 1t seems prob
able that oddities and eccentricities will
not 90 out of style with summer mil
linery modes. Sashes and sash effects
are seen in multiplied form and ar
rangement. No lady is too old or toe
young to wear one. They have been
confined to thin toilettes mostly, but it
is thought that they will enter into the
makeup of heavier fabrics this fall, and
appear in modified form on street toll
cites. Plain white surah silk SIMPLY
hemmed across the ends is very much
liked for white dresses. The favorite
way of arranging these is to drape the
sash as a fall in front Qengthwise) J,

edge of short apron front. From the
hips it can hang in long loops like
panels. or be carried further back and
then fall in loops or loop and ends
Wide sash ribbons are also arranged
