quality of English Grape shaping the brim-
edge, the side roSette and the long veil.
The simple back draping Of this represents
the modish way the long mourning veil Is
now disposed. When it Is of Grape, little
shaped mask veil of brussels net, edged
with fold of Grape, is sometimes woven
over the face.
The jaunty bent-up brims, and heaps OF
trimming underneath, all tend toward the
coquetry of the new millinery. Then bead
borderings-the beads of incredible size
sometimes-add to the dressiness, and here
and there some made plume or wing Is seen
of a sort never employed upon mourning be-
fore.
Many species of felt and silk braid form
the more practical shapes In the new hats
but 1t looks as IL plain felt or frames COW
cred with yard-materials are to be the
smartest thing. A scheme in single bril-
liant color Is also a feature of the fine and
simple headgear. such hats going well with
the black gowns which will be worn In
everyday hats, the toQue and turban
shapes are endless. Evolved in many smart
ways, with the wing and velvet trimmings
suited to knockabout frocks, the ready-to-
wear styles show most desirable models in
these. The dark straw shapes afford the
best thing for first wear.

womans purchases are mainly in the way
of summary splendors which can be worn

The first in point of exquisite daintiness
is costume casino" of pale blue silk
muslin trimmed with bands and rosettes of
fine white Swiss edged with rare Valen-

and the completely trimmed skirt indicate
two effects likely to be prominent among
winter styles.
ANA, with the brim faced with blue tucked
mousseline, is dubbed LIE Chnois;'' for
scarcely a hat shape is seen which does not
receive some title other. The decoration
of the left front of the brim Is made of
graduating roseltes of fine white lace.
The second gown is of white India muslin
with embroideries of the same. Chiffon tat
feta In a delicate shade of violet shapes the
girdle and other bodice trimmings, and the
hat Is of white erin {horsehair), with trim
mngs of violet panne and ostrich feathers.
Street gowns for winter, 1t Is said, are

Trimmings. So in all probability the darker
and finer furs will again be used In small
quantities diaphonous evening textiles.
Night wraps Will also show fur garnitures
of all sorts, and certain long, loose capes
being designed are to be fashioned entirely,
later on, of real and rich imitation pelts
The mode will give rise to many rare and
becoming effects, for nothing Is so enhanc-
ing to the fair fur, and the exquisite
lightness with which skins are made up
nowadays adds to their bewildering charm.
