Fall Hats


Millinery Is ever a matter OF In
terest, TO women. and new chapeau
IS almost invariably regarded with
greater interest than even new frock
for the latter is more Of a necessity.
The new hats have short backs or
none al all. Some OF them are cut
out in horseshoe shape at the back.
one brown beaver shown by smart
miliiner has the wide four-inch brim
wired with brown k-covered wires,
and the wires are placed on top OF the
brim and on the outside Of the crown.
This brim is cut to the crown at both
sides near the back, and also several
shines on the left side near the front.
and these sections are turned up like
wide tabs, against the crown, with
their upper edges faring outward from
It. At the base Of the brim so turned
M there is a rolled fold Of dull orange
colored velvet. and the ends are twist
ed into an odd, wide, fat bow across
the back. Just above the left ear and
fastened among the upturned tabs is
smooth brown feather pompon, from
which floats to the rear a bird Of para
disc plume. shading from brown to
orange.
Another hat is made OF white silk
plush in military shape. about six in
ches across by fourteen long trimmed
with heavy military braidings in large
white silk cords.
An odd and small toaue is entirely in
peacock-eye effects. the foundation be-
ing velvet and the crown covered with
fine chenille embroideries making the
centre Of the peacock eyes. Folds of
green and blue velvet, embroidered In
smaller peacock eyes and laid in folds,
form the soft brim and are loosely
plated
There viii, as ever be great variety
in hats. and she who wishes to aston
ish with faring-brim chapeau may
be as easily suited as another is with
a ciose-htting toque.
The exaggerated crowns viii be
avoided by women OF taste. Some OF
these are six inches high; the average
is three inches for the usual large hat.
The so-called small hats Of the sea-
son are what, in other years would
have been dubbed large. The huge
hats are for carriage wear, and those
women Of small incomes and no car-
riages who aspire to be gowned and
hated like the very fashionable class
should bear this fact in mind There
is no reason why woman of moderate
means. and to whom even "A cab is a
luxury should not be as tastefully and
fashionably frocked as her richer sis
ters. although in materials less ex-
pensive and less deliberately made, and
she may have but one gown TO fifty or
more owned by her wealthy sister.
A pretty chapeau, a compromise be-
tween a tricorne and toque was worn
at Delmonico's one evening. 1t was a
coarse black straw, the rolling, slightly
three e-cornered, brim seemingly merely
an extension Of the crown, which was
of the same height, Small red and
pink roses. the red above and the pink
below were set close together IN a
band an inch wide and were woven In
and out through the brim and against
the crown where the brim rolled from
q. Formerly such insets of flowers
formed a continuous line around the
rolled brim or the crown, but autumn
chapeaus. and this one IN particular
showed more graceful effects. In this
hat the pointed front OF the .brim wa'
devoid of flowers. the roses beginnini
to show perhaps two inches back from
each side Of the point, and extended
back along the sides for six inches on
So and then disappeared through slits
in the brim TO reappear against the
crown. and then to reappear across the
back of the brim.
