shapes and Trimmings of Autumn Hats
and Bounets


and Bonnets.
Coronet fronts are fancied on bonnets
and small, square crowns; they are also
short over the ears and have snug, COM
pact appearance. though the trimming is
high in front yet, but not as high as it was
last season.
All feathers are placed in front, with
ribbon or velvet bows on either side, or
the feathers are placed on the left side
and the bows back of them Ostrich tips
are many in number and many nod all
over the crown.
One or two bands of velvet ribbon
around the crown of a silk beaver-shape
have stylish effect, with two hat bows,
like those on mems straw hats, and bead
buckles on one side and 9 bunch of tips or
cocks plumes in front.
Pinked edges of felt in narrow rows
cover some brims. others have the rows
around the crown, and more are bound
with an ottoman braid. Velvet facings
are correct and becoming. Jet bead or
galloon edges are fashionable and heavy.
Again the velvet loops show a contrast
ing facing of silk, satin. or velvet, and
this color may or may not be repeated in
the feathers. Long pins are thrust diago-
naily or crosswise in the front or side, or
anything but straight
In the trimming of hats the long draped
loops of velvet are retained, with upright
feathers between them in the center of the
front, or birds head and tail may be seen
peeping out at opposite sides. with fold
of the velvet laid over part of the body.
The most brilliant of reds and yellows
are mixed with the present fashionable
dark colors, in the way of ribbons or fac
ings to bows, peeping out as turnover
edge or showing as part of q maie-up
feather ornament Long plumes are again
worn on one side of hats.
The rather jsuntv STYLES of hats shown
are especially attractive this season, in both
shape and manner of trimming, saws q
leading fashion authority. 1t viii be no
ticed that the garniture is somewhat lower
than last season, and may be either in front
or on the left side.
The Boulanger resembles q generals
chapeau, with wide brim turned up with
sharp pointed sides; the Bulgaria is fancy
turban, while palmer turbans have slightly
indented crowns This season hat-crowns
are slightly lower, brims are wider, and
bonnets are small
Silk beaver hats promise to be largely
worn, and are in the rather plain shapes,
being for general and not for dressy year
These are trimmed with tips or curling
cocks plumes and long knot of Vt vet.
Other high-crowned and wide or barrow
brims are of smooth felt with furry LUr-
ders.
All of the fashionable cclors are now
shown, especially in brown, blush gray,
dark green, and grayish blue Hat brims
are cut and bent in fancy shapes; on one
side rolling higher than the other is seen,
also a shape-Louis IN. with cleft brim
and turn-back sides. The Stanley has
high rolling sides and quite broad brim.
Artistic and so-called picture" hats will
be for carriage and visiting wear. They
frame the face, developing its beauties and
concealing its defects, and are copied from
the best examples handed down to us in
works of art The soft felt Gainsborough
in dark green, cream, black, or GObelin,
is an example of this style.
White felt sailor shapes are fancied with
white tips, ribbon bow, and black velvet
facing Plain, striped, and changeable
velvets form the fabric bounets; also soft
repped silk and MORE. Tips are worn on
bonnets as well as the curving punches of
cocks plunes Jet edgings, ornaments in
the way of wings, beads, and pins, are
never passe.
Tips are in popular favor, whether
plain, shaded, or shot with contrasting
colors. Curling cocks plumes. quilts, and
slender points are all stylish in many con-
trasting colors, or only two colors are put
together in the shades formerly used for
the high bows of ribbon. Gilded quilts
are in abundance, but have common look
incompatible with style.
Nos Is and 90 ribbons are selected for
trimming in MORE, gros grain, and velvet
Changeable and shaded ribbons brighten
up the dark hued backgrounds Corded
edges are newer than picot loops, but the
latter are so light looking in a bow that
they are retained. Striped velvet and
satin ribbons are very pretty, though if
one wishes the plain gros grain tits always
