more fashionable and elaborate display OF
trimmed hats and bonnets than this sea.
son. Miss Steinicken has one of the lar
gest establishments Of the kind in this city
ana her styles are always exclusive and
correct. Her parlors were thrOnged to-
DAY, and many expressions of admiration
were heard relative to the rich and fash
ionable creations displayed.
The large show window Is an ideal
autumn scene, with the rich warm tints
and foliage OF this season and set off by
hats that would arouse an envious thrill in
the least covetous of the feminine bosuIns.
The display of mourning hats and bonnets
Is worthy of special mention.
IL Is noticed that royal purple is the first
color of the season, while combinations Of
green and blue are II close second. Coque
feathers and birds, especially parrots are
immensely popular no doubt to the ex-
treine discontinue of the Audubon soci-
ETY..
One of the typical hats of the season is q
large black felt affair with high crown
and n broad, softly rolling brim. 1t is
turned up in the back, and fastened with II
punch OF green rose leaves, apparently
neld in place by band of green velvet. 1t
Is trimmed from the back with long, grace
ful coque feathers and paradise piumes.
Around the tail crown are five or six mar
row bands Of black satin Another model
Is green walking hat of rough felt, with
roll OF black velvet abont the brim and
punch of black and green tinted cuque
feathers falling back from tho left side,
One of the swellest and most striking
combinations is II big pale gray picture
hat. The high crown Is outlined with Il
plated frill Of wide gray ribbon, covered
with black net, and caught with green
Jeweled ornaments. AT the side is IL band
of green coque feathers and green and blue
shaded tips, and under the brim in the
back cluster of impossible but stylish
green and blue shaded roses.
