green and blue combined. made up o.
breast feathers as many of them are.
This particular model was dark blue vel
vet. and the prevailing colors are blue Of
many tones-sky, periwinkle, and royal
blue many shades Of orange, from the
lighter. which is almost maize, to the
darker, which tones into red.
Mauves and violets of every hue are al
SO much worn, and ruby. The toques are
decidedly larger, so large that. in fact
they amount 10 small hats; while the hats
grow bigger and more elaborate every
day. and naturally more expensive Inc

often as not, of the beefeater order, SOIL
and pleated, many of them embroidered
all over in a scroll pattern with fine RID
bon.
An example Of this is a fawn velvet
with q stiff brim, and a soft curling white
ostrich feather under it. extending TO inc
back. Very often felt is the groundwork
and a crown Of a stone tone thus treat
ed is remarkable for a black pin inserted
in the centre without, apparentlyH any
motive at all.
We shall see this often by and by. In
this case the brim was of Killed velvet,
and there were bows of light blue velvet
in the immediate front.
Nearly all the models are trimmed IN
the front. and in such a wide and extend
ed fashion that women are now not sell
dom compared to horned cattle.
Most of the heavy materials are to be
trimmed with lighter fabrics, and a
charming p%ervenche velvet toque was
made with three gathered frillings for the
brina, all edged with gathered chiffon.
The few artificial flowers that are used
are mostly made in velvet, and some OF
the tooue crowns are formed of one huge
rose. either In silk or velvet. beautiful in
colo~.
some Of the new flowers in shaded silk
are tipped with chenille arranged in
spots, and among the novelties of the
hour are vioiets made of loops of che
mile. five being needed for every bloom,
and taey are made in several shades.

The crowns are square in many other
examples. surrounded by velvet, the brim
turning up at the side of the boat-shape
order.
The leading colors in these are beavers,
greens. grays, browns, red and cream
color, royal blue. mulberry, mauve, light
blue and light pink shades. which figure
in the sailor-shape felts, with the crown
slightly sunk at the top, making a thick
ridge round like cording.
For bicycling and travelling there are
soft felt hats. which fold up to put in the
pocket, without spelling the bow at the
side.
They are selling literally by thousands.
The square crowns and the bell crowns
rival the old favorite, the Alpine crowns,
which are accompanied now by brims
closely stitched all over, for the best
kind of travelling hats.
Some of them turn up higher on one
side than on the other, and are trimmed
both with silk and velvet, striped quilts
figuring at the side.

of the felt hats are made somewhat
wider, the trimming consisting only of a
bow at the side.

Antique satins and miroir velvets by the

Some of them have looDed or picot

Plain black and white. and whit n
black blended are in the majority, but,
of course, they are to be had in coIors.
It is q braiding year. There are some
seven different widths.
One Of the prettiest materials used for
making up the autumn hats is a lattice
