The same day Mrs Theodore ROOse-
Welt. all in her favorite color, navy blue,
came up from Oyster Bay 70 do n little
shopping. Mrs. Roosevelt's gown was
tsffeta. 1t was 2 two-piece suit. skirt
and blouse. trimmed with wide landings
OF yellow white silk. Her hat was a
very large sailor affair, fat and made
or gray straw. A bunch of cherries
trimmed the side and there were bows Of
cherry ribbon.
Her majesty. Queen Margherita OF
Italy. has ordered nine hats. which it
is 20 be presumed are for her approach
ing trip to the United States. They are
what is known in this country as all
the-year-round hats. They viii do for
fall. for winter. and, again, for the
cooler DAYS OF next summer. The col
ors are bright and the hats are what
might be characterized as giddy.
There comes a time in summer when
al must wear white straw and a time
i'm winter when aii must wear fur trim
med hats. But on all other occasions
the hats which are called all-the-year-
round hats are suitable.
One OF her majesty's hats is in golden
brown with the edge trimmed with a
nounce OF golden brown lace. This IS
put on rather full with another 1ounce
falling over il. The top is crowned
with three handsome French roses,
each leaf as perfect as IL can be made
Another hat * satin straw looking
like satin cloth. IL is 4 toQue. rather
full in the front. slightly projecting and
trimmed with punches OF ribbon. Il is
al in light gray.
A third hat. also for fall wear. is a
hat all sparkling with jets The top.
the brin. even the lace, IS jetted. This
makes a very striking calling hat and
can be recommended TO any woman
who IS the owner Of an old lace sum
uler hat. which she would Ike 10 turn
into a winter hat. Rip off the lace. dye
II some deep color. a dark green, a. deep
brown. or a black. and then jet it,
This will be quite the style this fall
and il is a style that will hold its own
through the winter
The Big High-Crowned Hats.
Hats are certainly determined 10 know
no middle ground Either they are ex-
treueIv large or they are little hats.
For wedding occasions. and for other
extremely full dress events. the tiny
hat f. worn. But il is seldom becoming
and IS laid aside for the more pic
turesoue big hat.
Picturesqueness is actually demanded
OF every woman. and the milliner Of to
DAY seats her customer Deipre n Inlr-
ror and works upon her hat until II Is
perfect There Is no such thing as a
ready-made hat these days All hats
are slightly altered until they suit the
particular requirements Of the one who
is going 90 wear them.
The round hats with high square
crowns are 10 be the hats Of winter II
one can Judge BY the Paris advices, set,
somehow. these hats are not quite as
poprlar this side OF the water as in
Paris and London. The American IAN
cy runs toward the softer effects. Yet
n ,annot be denied that the tall square
crowns are smart.
The Gainsborough hats and all the
hats Of the Gainsborough family par
take OF the nature Of the high square
crown. They have the wide brim with
its rolling sides and they have the fat
back. for Il is the style TO turn down the
brim in the hat, and pin IL 10 the hair.

hats shows a high. square crown wtsn
