Leaden skies and intermittent show
ers did not deter the ladies from visit
| ing the several millinery emporiums
today and inspecting the styles in head
gear to be worn by feminine beauty
this fall aud winter. The variety OF
| hats and bonnets, the gay plamage
and vari-colored ribbons made it q diff
| cult matter for Madame TO select one
| TO suit her taste Everything is elab.
crate this season, but few plain hats
are to be worn.
Gaiety is everywhere. The choice of
| trimmings is left almost entirely TO
the fancy and taste of the milliner.
Ostrich plumes. birds wings, coque
feathers, quilts. pallettes paradise
birds, aigrettes aud fanciful arrange
ment of plumage are all as fashion
able one as the other. At the same
time flowers figure rather more pro-
fusely prominently than usual at this
| season, while there is every reason
TO suppose that great deal will be
| done with furs later on.
A very marked characteristic of this
seasons style is its elaborateness If
one wants To be at all swagger she
| must wear fancy hats. 1t is true they
are sometimes surprising but the gen
eral effect is certainly beautiful
Bright colors must be used and every
| shade of any existing color may be
| combined with anything else, provid-
| ing the effect is pleasing The most
popular colors ara "Alice blue, -
'Nickel' and "Prune, +" which is
really old fashioned purple combined
with other bright shades. Flowers,
birds, wings aud velvet are!the.reign-
ing materials for trimmings and are
| used on very expensive hats. The
foundation of the hats is generally
velvet. Beaver is popular, also French
felts.
