Felt hats of medium size will prevail
this season. and plateaux of satin and
felt will be seen in large and medium
sizes. Lightly woven braid effects are
extremely pretty-even handsomer than
last years beautiful designs. Strands
of black and colored satin cord are seen
running through the braid patterns
while some rich satin braids are used
alone in fashioning elegant hats and
bonnetS for maids and matrons.
All the new shapes show fiat back
effects, black is seen on every stylish
chapeau, and ribbons and velvet are the
chief ideas in trimming. A novelty in
the way of feather trimming edges
many of the models in Saline braids,
while plateauX are edged with fur,
feather trimming or rows of fancy
braid to match the hat or harmonic
with the trimmings.
Trimmings will be rather stiff; that is
decided, but the fur or feather edging
certainly SoftenS the outline most adj
mirably. All the bows this season are
large, some containing over five yards
OF wide ribbon, and only those made of
inferior qualities will require wiring.
A very few hats Will have feathers,
and for these and for coquilles black is
to be 1.-The" thing. Jetted and frosted
quilts, wings and coquilles are very
pretty on stiff walking hats, while the
more dressy chapeauX, trimmed mainly
with ribbon bows. will be relieved by
knots of velvet in the new and beautiful
shades of red, green or blue.
An extremely odd and decidedly
pretty feature of this seasons mllin-
cry is the toque and bonnet of leaves.
These leaves are of felt or feathers,
steel, jet or gold, and are wired round
and formed into exquisite bits of head
gear. Glover, lilac and geranium
leaves are some of the prettiest de-
signs, and those of frosted ostrich
feathers are handsome and effective.
Marie Stewart effects predominant in
the bonnet array; these Lave roomy
crowns and come well down on the ears.
lridescent crowns are extremely pretty,
jet. gold beads. spangles, ETC., being
employed in producing the desired eff

evening wear, although several street
models are similarly made. Bonnets of
eolored felt for street wear will be
trimmed with black wings, birds, al
grettes, etc.
The ever popular walking hat will this
BeaSon be made of cloth, ulster material,
felt, etc, and will be decorated with
cock plumes put on sinsly, in pairs or in
threes and tours. Jet-encruSted quilts
are also popular on these shapes, stuck
through bow of gross-grain ribbon.
The larger felt, cloth and velvet hats
for early winter will show buckles Orna-
mentipg the center of large ribbon or
velvet bows ana combining the stems OF
clusters of black feathers. Jet, steel,
bronze, silver and rhinestone are the
modish effects in buckles, which will
also decorate the pretty neck ruchings
sold in millinery sets.
All the newest designs in hats will
require the wearing OF veil, and the
pattern that Is universally becoming is
the veil CT lightcolored tulle, with or
without chenille dots. The fashionable
couture, too, requires that there be ties
on my lady'S bonnet. and these are of
velvet ribbon about two inches in width,
or of satin faced MORE. Some beautiful
theater hats and bunnets have velvet
or lrldescent crowns, stiff brimS of
white, cream or coffee-cOlored lace and
ties OF fine velvet ribbon. The capote
shape is one that is always fashionable
and appropriate for evening wear, and
these need no elaborate trimming.
