NEW YORK. September s, 1905.
.In Paris" writes a correspondent of au-
thority in fashion matters. autumn and
winter millinery is being evolved at a great
rate"
The trend in both fields is emphatically
toward exaggeration, the styles, poses, etc,
borrowing from the periods when women
dress had that affected dash which might
almost be called dandifed. For "coquet-
fish does not in the least describe this
old yet new quality which will perVade
the winter millinery. The latter because
of the rare loneliness of some OF the FUR
and lace materials used Will rise enor-
nously in price.
model hat by q smart maker recently
vended at auction and bought by an Amerl-
can modiste brought the incredible sum
of $500 Forty dollars. 1t was announced
would be the cost of a reproduction.
Headgear shown in this country as yet
only moderately borrows from the pro-
nounced styles, but occasionally one encouh-
tiers pattern headpieCe with all or the
Partisan qualities among the more moder-
ate styles. AS to shapes, the tiny undulat-
ing structures of the summer, built up high
from the head. massed with trimming I'M
derneath and sparsely deeked outside are
everywhere seen. The Dresden china mlnla-
lures and buckles of the late season also
continue upon some of the Vatican shapes,
the dainty manipulation of whose silk and
velvet ribbons, however, Is their CHIEF
charm.
In fact never were bows tied with more
fetching grace, and one fOrgives the au-
dacity OF a too perky shape because of these
same butterflies. The trimming method Is
simple.
Little Saucer Shapes.
A twist of the band garniture goes around
the edge of the Nat crown. the little butter

over the left eye Underneath the funny
little saucer, whose hair band is enormous
ly high. there may be bushel of flowers.
The tiny wreaths of roses seen during the
summer employed upon similar shaped
hats In delicately tinted felts in the same
way.
Among the newest styles there are indi-
cations of a marked helghtening in crowns,
and many of the sitter walking turbans
are lifted high at the side and there trim
med with a pair of kissing doves. All the
pigeons are doves In the millinery world,
and 10 see the vast quantity OF feather
deckings IT would look If the patrons OF
songsters and cackers must be mapping.
True. many OF these have never grown
upon the live creature in their present
shape but wild bird and barnyard plumes
are employed in a way to achieve wonder
full results. One rare lovely plume seen
upon a turban of silk in aubergne (egg
plant red) consisted OF a streaming game
cocks tail In magnificent reds. affixed to
the head of the bird which with its glass
eyes and bristling comb looked as wicked
any that ever died in battle. Especially
are these audacieus fixings seen upon the
jauntier turban shapes. which are to be
much worn for walking.
Ostrich Plumes.
In the prestige of ostrich plume there Is
decidedly no falling Off If anything, they
are seen In greater quantities than ever,
preference being shown for the short wide
ones of the male bird. though sometimes
long ones are broken in half and the stem
portions used. The stiff and rather dam
aged look of these is thought smart but
yet the vandalism Is only novelty with
some imported head piece or other.
For intermediate use. when felts seem
still too heavy, many hats in dress fabric
materials are offered, thin silk. velvet and
panne covering buckram frames closely.
With silk, velvet edges contrast stylshly
and give solidity. but such hat needs the
elegance of ostrich feathers TO set 1t off
properly. The wire hats covered with lace
and panne with wide ostrich feather and
flower trimming are most beautiful One
made of white guipure with tiny round
crown and edges of panne IN Chinese PINK,
was distraCtingly lovely. The brim was I'M
duIated TO form charming curves. pink and
white camellias Nesting becomingly in the
hollows. Entire evening hats are also seen
