The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1899-11-18
SEEN IN SHOP WINDOWS.

First and foremost there is the pic.
ture hat Of the moment, composed OF
the very finest tuckings and stitching
the sn1artest being in silk lined with
tucks of chiffon, and trimmed with q
scarf of silk or crepe de chene. with a
fringed edge which drops over the right
ear To some people these hats are
very becoming, particularly when soft
ened with ostrich plumes, or some very
light wings of jet at the side, but only
those whom black really suits can wear
these because they are such a very
dead. dead black. For the moment this
is undoubtedly the chapeau.
l have seen some pretty toqueS in
bright shades of blue and tomato-col-
ored cloth and velvet, stitched, tucked
and folded. with soft wings across the
front. These are wide with rather high
crowns.
But a newer toque-an, invention of
RebouX-is a long-shaped one, and a
revival of the early Victoria style, AS
have said, it is long, tipped right over
the nose and dipping at the back, con-
sisting of folds of different shades of
velvet with long breasts Of pheasant
or grebe going from front to back to
carry out the real, old-fashioned idea
This is the toque which. so far, have
liked the best: it is quiet and lady-like,
and has beautifully defined lines
The directorie and 1880 Bonnets stiH
appear with wide tucked chiffon strings
while the straight round hat dripping
in the front and caught UP at the back,
mas by no means gone out of fashion.
Altogether there is a wide choice in
millinery, though / have seen nothing
extraordinarily pretty in country hats |
Many people are faithful to Hamburg
felts, very often not trimmed, but sim |
ply veiled with white lace. Taking it |
all around, the hat of the moment is a |
do igh fr71 a.,1T
that there are some very pretty models |
also to be found in bonnets.
Nowadays, the bonT1ets are for young
matrons, nearly all of them having
white chiffon or satin Oriental strings
There are some women who look their
very best in a bonnet of denure de-
scription, and indeed a little 1880 model
IN black velvet with a cluster sof splumes
at the side is universally becoming.
Beaver of the shiniest and ,lightest
order viii be worn much more than felt,
and very often the inner brim is lined
with light felt. This is a remnant of
the late summer fashion; in fact. in |
most cases the brirns are lined with a
light Shade.
There are some beautiful models in
various shades of brown. and. of course.
Tor the early autumn, faded dahlias and
hrysanthemums in brown shades will
be much used. But I am glad to say
that the aigrette will, in most cases
give place to wings and plumes.
The colors used most this autumn
win be distinctly faded ones. That is !
o say, these dahlia and petunia shades ),
viii be much to the fore washed-out !.
curious grays and blues. gray
green's and faint tomatoes win an he
popular, and form a great contrast to y
he vivid, clear shades which have been 7
n vogue all the summer L
But predict that later on ruby vel !.
et VIII be one of the favOrite winter
hades. Indeed, already have I no.
iced several picture hats made in this
lorious warm tint g
White feathers viii be used on our ..
martest black; at least, they are ap- ~
caring on some models, but I doubt ~
neither they will ever stand a hard ~
inter. STILL they are pretty, and so a.
re the all-wfite hats trimmed with
llle and these said plumes. OF course a.
le under brim is lined with white y,
licked tulle OF
