New York, Oct. lit seems as if the |
rilliner ruled everything feminine. Her |
results are marvellous. Call them hats, |
or call them bonnets, or generalze and |
cau them chapeaux, they are very much |
n the fore and certainly are most beauti- |
full to look upon. They have not sug- |
qestion of anything masculine. Here is
no stiff felt hat, decorated with ribbon
hand and shaving brush plume, but, in
;ts stead. a chapeau that has a pulled
crown of velvet, a broad brim of felt, a
group of plumes, a band of emeralds, a |
buckle of rhinestones, possibly wreath
of crushed roses and a couple of bows of
ribbon. Sometimes there is more. If you
have ever looked at any of the pictures
Of the ladies of the time of Mary Antoin-
cite YOU will get a faint conception of the
fashionable hat of to-day The crown may
be high or low, round or square, or even
pointed. The hat itself must be big
that's because there's so much to be put
upon it.
Nowadays, when you lay your good
money down, you don't get simple-look
ing affair with the assurance that you
are paying for it's style-no, indeed you
get much, very much, for your money. If
1 we're a woman with a strong brain, l
should be disguised at this triumph of
frills and feathers and frivols, but, being
merely a woman, with no extraordinary
mentality, 1 confess to admitting them
the wonderful hats-and being willing 10
be extinguished under one. You think it
impossible for so much to be on one hat.
Here is an accurate description of Won
derful chapeau that that the milliner
described as quantity simple" The crown
was large, soft and formed of white vel
vet the brim broad and bent, so that it
curved at each side, was Of silver-gray
felt; about the crown was guile of
white chiffon, spanged with steel; at
the right side there stood up in trl-
umphant but graceful manner three white
pumes, each warranted to be an exact
varre. (The typewriter says she knows
how TO spell that name because it be-

by buckle of rhinestones. On the lett
side, under the brim was a half wreath
Of white roses that extended almost
across the back. Now, remember, this is
called "a quantity simple hat" and it
took twenty-five bonnet pins to fasten il
firmly on the head of the young woman
who wore it, and wore it to the theaterl
By-the-bye, she looked so pretty in 1t
that the men who sat behind her forgava
her and became followers OF the white
plume.
With the triumph of the big hat, there
is a gradual coming of the triumph of
the hairdresser. Last winter, where we
saw loose coil of haid that any lady
might have arranged herself, we now OBJ
