FALL MILLINERY.
The fall hat differs from the summer
one in one particular very strongly.
Whereas the summer hat had to be pic
turesque or lose all claim to distinction
autumn headgear has to be merely chic.
Broad brims crowns of many indenta-
lions and the like are tabooed and the
trim little shapes which are most cap
able of developing into the "chic" be-
meath a sl1illful milliner's touches have
taken their places.
Bows of stiff ribbon, ospreys, quilts
and wings are the trimmings most favor
ed for fall wear. They are set upon the
hat with sort of mathematical precis-
ion which is very charming when the
hat adorns a fresh, young face, but
which is trying in the extreme to worn
ones.
The flower garden effects of the sum-
mer are, happily, to disappear. Those
fall hats which boast any flowers at all
will have them all of one variety. The
warmer colored blossoms will be pop
ular, such as nasturtiums and gerani-
ums. Whenever they are used they are
set in the midst of leaves so that their
brilliancy is toned down somewhat.
Some of the fall hats have set among
their ribbon bows punches of bright COL
ored berries, which appear at this season
of the year. A spray Of barberries, a
cluster of crimson partridge berries, a
bunch of the red seed pods which come
| upon wild rose bushes in the fall, or few
bits of bitter sweet berries are regarded
as appropriate as we'll as pretty adorn-
ments.

combination of brown and white. The
shape is a somewhat -brimmed
low-crowned Alpine and the material
brown felt. The trimming consists of
low bow of brown ribbon placed exactly
in the center of the front, with two white
wings and a white osprey rising from it,
The rim is edged with brown silk cord.
A low, round-cornered walking hat
in brown trimmed with brown ribbon,
close balls of brownish-red ostrich
feather and brownish-red osprey is a
pretty piece of all head-gear. Brown
and yellow and brown and red are, by
the way, two of the favorite fall COM
binations. A brown hat, ablaze with
nasturtiums ranging from pale lemon
color through glowing reds and into rich
brown is triumph of the milliner's skill.

FALL FOOTWEAR.
Tan shoes bid fair to be as popular
during the fall as they have been during
the summer. The color is a warm rich
one which suits the mellow season, and
the comfort the wearers have expert
enced since May induces them to wear the
same shoe through October.
The all-black stocking is giving place
To yf~in 6nff nth WIG
guised black stocking Some very pretty
hosiery shows white red, yellow or blue
bow knots embroidered in silk over
black instep or ankle. Hair stripes which
extend horizontally around the stocking
instead of up and own are also seen. Lace
insteps are frequent. One of the prettiest
pairs of stockings visible at a recent
dance showed tiny black lace butterflies
appliQued to black silk insteps and cut
out beneath.
CrepOn is a name to conjure with this
season. Crepon stockings are among the
novelties They come in all colors and
are exquisitely soft and fine to the touch.
Laced boots are invariably used for
walking. They are made with common
sense heels and with toes not quite so
hopelessly ugly as the regulation COM
nonsense ones, and yet, not quite so
hopelessly absurd as the regulation point
ed toes. The correct strings are always
of silk, and there is no excuse for the
woman whose strings are always shade
lighter or shade darker than her russell
leather shoes. A perfect match is desira-
BILE and possible.
There Is a suggestion in the stock of
the shoe stores that the patent leather
slipper and low shoe may be relegated
~, Of
fairs take their place. Suede is soon
rubbed into shabbiness by skirt braids,
and if it could be made the rival Of
the hard, shining leather it would prove
a profitable fashion for the shoe dealers.
1t cannot be denied, however. that the
soft, dull kid is dainter and more aesthe-
tic looking than the patent leather.
Correct young women have made to
order for each Of their walking dresses
pair of CATERS exactly matching the
skirt in color. These they wear with low
shoes, either patent leather or Of calf.
