ono that is bound to take from its oddly.
Many hats are now quito oncirclcd with
these boas, and tho newest plumes for the
decoration of tho felt hats arc from IS to
20 inches long and very thick and full.
Ihcy Will stand up and fall over" as
one millincr said They arc intended most
~ Tor the enormous G0insborough and
cavalier hats.
1t would be utterly useless TO attempt
to give an adequate idea of the different
styles of hats and bonnets that will be
worn this winter. Words and space fail
Some few will DO modest, to suit the ro-
fined taste, but the great majority will be
simply immense. Boas this season some
how seem to be both part of a gown md
adjunct to the hat L SAW no end of boas
yesterday, the richest being black and the
greatest number being gray and notified
in tho natural color of the plume. They
nro just long enough to go around tho
neck and tuck in tho belt. Fow are OK
pcctcd to hang loosely at the neck There
were some fancy bons nado of pearl gray

The new covert cloths are now indeed
this season. They arc in all sorts of colors
and many Of them are double faced, so
that ono side is one solid color and tho
other is plaid or stripe This is particulars
~ designed for the needs Of hcyclists and
must certainly please thcm. The crnva-
notcs, having proved their excellence for
cycling us we'll rs all other outdoor pur-
poses, are also offered this fall in every con
ccivablo color and weight They also arc
made reversible. The dark green and tho
rich nut browns arc revelations in beauty
and value Though waterproof, they are
not 50 heavy as serge or covert and arc al
together excellent value
Among things of minor noto one may
mention that princess skirt which
reaches up like II swiss bodice above tbs
waist limo is seen. This is worn over IA
loose waist OF some kind and has ono of
the new open jackets to slip on over it.
The blouse waist is shown in u bcwilder-
ing array Of tarcics. To nearly all capcs
there are ,ncdci or ruchc collars. Some
persons call the ruchc collar tho Elizabeth
ruff. One of the newest designs in tho
blouse waists has the back droop down
over the belt. This makes the waist look
thin, but the fashion is anything but
graceful MATE LEROY.
