EHE SALT e.
fasten tulIe wells in place, as Spanish
women wear their mantillas, and II IS
noticeable, with the vast amount or
silver used on wedding gowns, that
slippers of silvered kid are growing into
distinct vogue. These are remarkably
pretty, and a great relief to the ugly
white sarcophagus, in which even
dainty feet appear to the most painful
disadvantage.
OCTOBER HATS.
The millinery carnival increases in
interest every day, and the develop
ment of the wide felts are to be
watched with care. Not yet have the
possibilities of the shepherdess shape
been exhausted, and some exceedingly
/ bewitching examples of soft, wide
satin-finished felts are seen trimmed
with velvet and plumes, and very gay
roses in the rear. Nearly all the wide
eaved dark hats have a narrow fold
/ of velvet running about the inside edge
] OF the brim; this velvet a bright color,
such as turquoise blue on a sapphire
blue felt, yellow on a brown felt, and
so on.
One remarkable phase of hat decora-
ton is displayed by some prettily-col-
| ored feltS, having low, small crowns
and soft brims of moderate width. The
decoration for these is all maSsed eX-
clusively on one side of the brim, leav-
ling the crown and remainder of the
brim absolutely simple. Now, the con-
| sequence Of this sounds far more grue-
some in the telling than in reality,
| for the felt is usually of a pale color,
relieved by cordings of black velvet,
describing many close-set circles on
| the hat. The narrow black lines turn
ing round and round on the light brim
and crown, seem almost trimming
enough; so when knot of black vel
vet, with twist of tulle and clump
| of small ostrich tips, is perched on
the very edge of one side of the brin,
an original, but not unbeautiful, effect
is the result.
AUDUBONITES WILL WEEP.
A number of truly attractive hats
have their crowns made wholly of the
softly toned breasts of birds that
would make an Audubonite weep, and
the brim is rucked tulle, though the
majority of our hats are solid and sub
stantial to a degree. The Audubonite
might well weep, also, over the too
evident fact that with the best will in
the world to trim hats with wings they
have deSisted, in most cases, simply be-
cause there seem to be no more wings.
nor heads, nor tails to use. Deprived
of crisp songSter'S plumage, the max
ers of hats have recoiled on truly hid
eous decorations of velvet and silk and
a few ibis and argus-eyed pheasant
quilts. They lay ponderous velvet
sashes about heavy felt hats with a
lavishness of hand that promises early
badness to those who will meellly sub
nit their heads to this hot and weighty
gear.
FROU-FROU -MUFFLINGS.
1t is relief to turn from these apo
plectic hats to the airy, gracious little
mantels that are wrought out for win
ter wear to the theatre, concerts, ETC.,
or wherever a bit of frou-frou muffling
is needed at the throat. No flounces
of varying widths, edged with ostrich
feather trimming, is what they are
composed of. OF course, they are cut
shaWl-shaped, and the pretty custom is
to put black fiounces on foundation
of some highly colored silk. So closely
set are the ruff1eS that when the mantel
hangs demurely from it's wearer's
shoulders it appears sober enough. Let
it be moved ever so slightly, however,
and CLEANS of scarlet or copper yellow
taffeta are seen.
A goodly number of such wraps are
lined with some light fur and fall
nearly to the knees. and to further lift
all accusation of somberness from them
a looped chain of colored beads encir-
cles the neck at the base of the Medici
collar, and forms a clasp under the
wearers chin.
TAILOR STYLES FOR CHILDREN.
Consider the younger generation how
it is growing this winter most rapidly
into very advanced tailor-made fash
ion. Oh, mothersI With the little girls |
this is most noticeable, for they are as
close of skirt and as braided of body |
as their elders. AS to the small boy, |
there are few articles of his fathers |
wardrobe he does not possess in minia- |
ture. 1t is true, of an evening he only |
wears a dinner jacket, as claw-ham- !
mer coat tails are not yet his, but very |
impressive is his little bell-crowned silk |
hat and the amply frocked coat in |
which he trots to church, to family |
weddings and to such functions as the |
boy under Is is entitled to partici-
pate in.
The military activities of the time are
also reflected in juvenile raiment, for
the knee breeches of him who still
takes an interest in mumblety- are
by choice of rich blue cloth and show
a band of narrow black braid down the |
outside of either leg. The coat is cut
on the pattern OF an oIHcer S IauSue
jacket, hooking up snugly from hip line
to chin, and this, with dark blue IA
tigue cap braided in black, gives a fair
idea of what the approved autumn
school suit should be.
Straight buttoned dark blue cloth
coats, with a couple of capes, are what
the little men wear over these suits on
chill days, and to further emphasize
the exceeding manliness of their ward
he -xxrh in /
dress, wear shirts that have board /
bosoms and lofty stiff collars. A touch !
