THREE LACE TRIMMED GOWNS.

The other day had four glimpses, at
i've seconds glimpse, of some new hats
which were just here from Paris, and
they are supposed to be the models on
which all the other hats for early fall are
to be made. And it seems to me well
that only few came, for more would
surely have sunk the ship. For il We
have had large hats before these are Al
the sierras beside hole in the ground.
One hat was Of velvet as to the brim.
The crown, was Of panne, both in soft
gray. Over this was a drapery Of poppy
red malines, so much Of it, and what
there was drawn so closely that one
could scarcely ina ine that it was tho
finest and most dlaphanous Of all the
i laces. This malines was draped around
and around so that it formed a turban
shape, and curled around this was one
long black plume studded with black
spangles.
Another had the crown made in a bell
shape, and the material Of which It was
made was braided felt in three shades Of
gray. The crown was made too large for
It's space, and that gathered it into very
irregular shape, and it was twisted into
any number Of dents and waves. For
trimming there was long roll of faint
eagles quilts In natural color and held
them in place along the edge Of the brim.
On the left side under the brim there
were two close rosettes Of the blue ma
hnes. This is intended for young lady
and is worn without strings. I mention
this because so many hats, as well as bon
nets, will be worn with strings.
Turbans will be among the new MILL
merry, and they are generally very becom-
ing. There was one Of brown miroir with
several shades Of light browns shading
into the yellows, and directly in front
there was 4 yellow velvet tiger lily as
large as life. All the material was twist
ed around so as to give turban as large
as that commonly supposed to have been
worn by Sultan Amurath, and we all
know that was 50 large that his head was
lost in it.
Another novel shape had large Asa
tian bow made Of white lace over a lin
ing Of white tafteta, and in the center of
It there was handsome strass ornament,
and, rising above this, was. a high crown
Of red velvet, real red red, without any
palliation in shading. One small black
ostrich plume curled over the top. The
whole was set to one side, and under the
brim there was q double draped bow Of
red velvet. The principal novelty in this
was the bow, being worn set up to one
side, whereas all other Alsatian bows are
intended to be worn fiat. Worn sidewise
In this way it gives the wearer an APP
pearance Of being oblivious to the fact
that her hat is not on straight.
Black velvet is also used to make an
ether stylish hat, and this has three fine
Black ostrich plurnes set on the front
Nike the Prince Of Wales motto. The
bnly bit Of color on this was bunch of
pale coral pink crepe de chine cuddled
down under the left side Of the brim.
often wonder why it is that all these
Fancy arrangements Of trimming are set
under the left side and the brim is al
most always turned up on that side and
never the right.
The contrasts in hats are marked and
hot always by a sense Of fitness, but it
seems as IL we are to be treated to every
kind Of shape and style ever seen. and all
these have been shaken up. and whatever
He'll of one hat stuck fast on another,
Ind that is the general plan Of the fall
millinery.
There was one queer hat, and It was
made of braided chenille. The colors were
the shades of brown, mostly those vergina
an yellow, and the effect Is good as far
as that goes, but when they build up d
brim at least a foot high and cover the
lower part Of it with black ostrich riames
and stick big bunch Of pink roses above
them so that the edi6ee is higher than
any mans high hat it is carrying the
war into Africa. And this crown Is benz
and twisted and the brim looks as If II
had been used by elephants FOR 4 foot
stool besides.
