the Convention, and as some OF them
are eager candidates for the nomina-
ton. and hope that lightning may
strike them. they are unwilling to lose
q chance. Perhaps the postponement

the reassemblins OF the Committee is to

Fall Millinery,

All the French models in millinery
have a rosette or rose bow of brilliant
satin somewhere about the dark bonnet
or hat. The frames are very composite.
For instance, a bottle crown on one
Paris hat in a New York dry goods
window. is made of black velvet; the
brim is two-thirds green velvet and
one-third black silk beayer. and the
under side of the brim has cream lace
facing. So much for the frame. Black
tips, a cut steel buckle. huge cabbage
bow OF black ribbon and two knots of
yellow-red satin comprise the trimming.
The price Is a little matter Of SIS.
