schoolroom is draughty, and the swea-t ter will be just the thing to slip on. The best sweater for girls has blouse effect, and ends in a belt at the waist line, It has close but easy-fitting turnover collar and cuffs, sometimes in contrasting collars. z
 For raincoats acrayenette is undoubt- edly the best material, but heavy mo- hairs are also very good. The redlngote form is popular and empire effects are quite as suitable for girls as for their mothers. Children under twelve wear loose box coats. -.s.
 The crop of fall hats is very attrac- tive. It is entirely too early to accept the styles shown as final. but that they are good indications of the general
 trend of things, no one doubts. There is little to say of the size or the shape of the new hats. They are neither large nor small, and they differ very little in outline from the hats introduc- ed last spring. It is too soon to ex- pect radical departures. We have not had. time to grow tired of the tilted hat, the high bandeaus,. and the dashing shapes. The only really novel feature of the new fall hats is the free use of the We'll as trimming. Half of the hats viewed at a recent opening were, decorated with wells. The lace veil played an important part, but the or dinary chiffon affair was not missing A velvet hat of one of the new crush ed raspberry shades was modified sailor with low, round crown and a rolling brim. The brim was dented in at the back, and had lace veil, dyed to match the velvet, crushed in a sort of a bow. The ends hung down as far as the collar, In front the hat was trimmed with smart bow of sil- yer ribbon, which ribbon formed a band about the crown, and two exqui- site half-open roses in varying tones of the pink. l@ t,
 A purple8velvet hat was very. much tilted forward and the cachepeigpe in the back was covered with a chiffon veil carelessly crushed together. The only trimming~was Q green and blue parrot with a long and gorgeous tail.

 There is hardly any chance for this style to continue. It is to easy to duplicate cheaply, and no one wants to wear style that is caricatured by tawdry limitations. Lace draperies, es-
 pecially real lace will probably have a short popularity, at any rate. The possibilities of the scarf-draped hat are too attractive to miss altogether even if the style has to be abandoned later on.
 Feathers will be used a great deal more than they were last winter. The craze for wings has not subsided. but ostrich feathers have the greatest voc que. The plulnes are used to cover bandeaus and cachepeignes, and are allowed to droop veil-like on the hair, They are very beautiful when well arranged, and constitute rather new feature of millinery. A picturesque large hat of smooth black beaver was
 raised in the back and on the left side, the bandeau being covered with rich black plumes. The crown of the hat was covered with a drapery of black velvet caught with small gilt buckles. A cavalier hat in a soft shade of 1 green felt had scarf of velvet tied
 in large bow directly in front. The hat was turned up on the left side, and was trimmed with beautifully shad- ed green feather, it's tones varying from white to deep green on the edges Peacock feathers as hat decorations have never been popular despite the collar possibilities of their use. It is probable that the number of supersti- tions people is large than one suspects. Some women are frank enough to admit that they believe in the tradi- tion of ill-luck which attaches to pea cock feathers. Most women laugh at ! the notion as an absudity, which it certainly is, but the fact remains that the beautiful peacock's plumage is not part of millinery. One daring Pari- sian creator sends a hat to the New
 York openings which sets the old su- persitition at defiance. The hat is 8 deep blue beaver with a broad, straight brim and a low crown. It is raised in 1 the back where ribbons of the shade of the hat cover the cachepeigne. All
 around the brim are set little pompons of peacock breast feathers, while long tail feathers sweep backward over the crown. It is a striking hat, and very beautiful in color.-New York Evening Post.
