ARTISTIC IN MILLINERY.
Some beautiful Creations in Fall
Wear at Manufacturers,


Millinery art, not millinery trade,
and artistic creations, not fantastic
conglomerations, are phrases applicable
to the display in Manufacturers mil
linery department yesterday and to-
day. Exquisite color harmones and
handsome designs are the evident
characteristics of the exhibit which
called out the elite of the city. Dame
Fashion has DOTTED the gaudy, below
cred hat of last season and with it
the idiotic fad of pulling the hat down
over the face, almost pressing the
nose into service as a hat rack. This
year the whimsical dame puts her hat
back and looks out upon the world
from under a covering of dark and
rich velvets, tossing plumes and ele-
giant ornaments.
Flowers will not bloom on her head
this season; but in their places will
vets CASTOR gray jockey club blue,
tans and golden brown, and especially
the always elegant all black hat.
There is some red too, and taking
combinations of black and white. Then
if che wants business hat, dressy,
but not fussy, look at the English
hats. They are all there at Mann
heimers' and the lady in charge knows
how to show you everything you want
want to see.
The hat that attracted the attention
CT many as the most artistic creation
was an importation-a genuine camePs
hair crown, with black, pulled brim, on
one side of which, running from the
front to the back. are two handsome
| marabou feathers; on the under side
of the other brim are three frosted
pink velvet roses. The front of the
hat is turned up a little and caught
with a rhinestone snake. 1t combines
simplicity and elegance in a bewitching
manner. Be sure to see it. Then there
| Is black beauty, made of accordion
pleated velvet, the form curving
| up slightly into Victorian flare and
| over the brim wreath of eight hand
some black feathers. The one striking
relief to the glossy blsS'ness is a
| rhinestone ornament in front.
Another handsome makeup is an ac-
! Gordon pleated gray velvet with
puffed crown and brim raised sharply
on the left Side, where a crush of
magenta velvet makes a striking har-
/ mony with the predominant color OF
the hat. Osprey feathers and cut
steel buckle give the finishing touches
to the whole. A violet blue velvet
crown, with fancy braid rim. two ex-
| quisite grebe feathers, fastened in the
front with rhinestone and pearl orna-
ment, make another taking combina-
| ton. Columns could be filed in de-
scription, and one would have to be OF
very unappreciative nature if the
actual exhibit in the Manufacturer mil
! linery department did not furnish SUI
| ficient picturesque material, without
drawing upon the0 imagination: But
! the subject cannot be dropped until
mention is made of hat in regard to
which one heard often the expression
wonderful creation used. The crown
| is of satin souli, and resting on the
! broad brims were two handsome tan
| feathers, fastened in front with
| rhinestone buckle, and running round
| the crown, joined in the back and
| hung gracefully over the hair. The
finishing touches were osprey feathers
| and rhinestone ornaments
Nor are the children forgotten, for In
| their own line their hats are as pretty
as anything. For instance, look at
| that large poke bonnet of castor SOUL
velvet, with pink silk trimmings. Ii
