ton that the style is adopted. Millin-
esrs however, declare thta the poke
hat will be the hat of the seacon, and
it surely will be if they have their
way. The only one seen so far was of
light gray felt, caught UP in front with
pale yellow crepe rosettes. Long
IS arooped down over the
sides, giving it extra breadth. The
dress worn with this was Of gray
striped chevoit, trimmed with blue
braid and made with a natty cutawav
Jacket effect that was very becoming.
A stock Of he dress goods was worn
and the same goods was made into a

collar. The sleeves were double hal

cOat-sleeve.

around the handle of the umbrella.
