color in the plaid All the bows In Paris

Russian and Norfolk variety. Little boys
are almost wholly confined to the Russian
hlouses while the others wear sailors or
Norfolks. The latter are far ahead Of any
other cut in point Of newness and style
and appear In natty suits that would make

able to wear one. All the cuts are more
fashionable in serge than In any other ma

STYLES OF stylish hats These are the Tam
o'Shanter and the large felt. The latter
STYLE is more fashionable than the other
and has a brim slightly curved upward
around the edges and white ribbon band
with long ends.
