SMALL, HANDY TOQOES


Written for The Star by Catherine Anderson.
Felt hats have already made their ap-
pearance. Not that women are beginning
to select their fall and winter millinery
but a between-season chapeau has become
Indispensable even to most practical dress
ers. Freshness, and what might be termed
'crispness" are the watchwords of the up
to-date woman. She does not permit
note of shabbiness to creep into her get-up.
Hence. the summer headgear is replaced at
this season by an inexpensive. ready-to
wear felt or tailored bit of millinery in
straw.
Fashion lays down no law in woman's
domain as to when straw hats must be
laid aside. Sun hats Of all descriptions
however. entirely out of place after
September /. The same rule will apply
this year to the large hat in general Small
toques have taken complete possession OF
the feminine world. The little. natty cha

whose gowns were of satin, cut square at
the neck and edged there with rich gulpure.
The bridesmaids gowns Of another splen-
did wedding were extremely novel, in
maiden blush chiffon, a shade barely off
white over pale pink silk slips, with appli-
cations of the same. In beautiful vine
design.
The gifts of the bridegroom to the brides
maids of this wedding were also charming.
They were tiny auto lace pins in different
colored precious stones, the machines no
more than two inches long, but wondrously
realistic in detail.

at the left, both back and front side. By
various indentations the remainder Of the
brfm Is shaped to make point directly
in the front and another on the right
side. Deep lilac pansies form q circle In
side the brim. and tall lavender osprey
stands sentinel-like in a dent at the left
of the front.
All supple feIts require bandeaux to
raise them just a bit from the hair. and
weIl-coiffed head is absolutely essential
to give them stylish poise.
Silver Gray and Blue.
Among some stunning millinery crea-
ton which have been sent home to Sep
TENDER bride is silver gray hat trimmed
with electric blue velvet and gray bird OF
paradise aigrette. The remarkable fea-
ture of the hat is its wide brim and high
colonial crown, decidedly the newest
shape of the season. Less extreme, but on
the same order, is a white felt with ball
shaped crown. Black glace silk almost
conceals the high crown and forms a ro-
settle under the slightly tilted brim. A
single fan-shaped quill of black velvet
rises diagonally out from a large bow
which graces the front of the crown.
Despite the fascination of the charming
new models in felt. straw hats will be
quite as much in evidence during fall
days. Not a few women are bringing out
their spring polo turbans. Extremes in
this style. however. are quite out of date.
New models are built on wire frames and
extend out at the sides and little over
the face. One simple, practical hat of
black and white straw is surrounded by a
band Of velvet with short, outstanding
loops two inches apart. Two graceful
white wings on either side of the front
cling to the brim and raise high as they
get toward the back.
A Toadstool 3rim.
Another hat for fail wear has a brim
shaped like a toadstooI. From the crown
rises a double fold of maline ruching tied
with velvet ribbon in sulphur color. Silk
roses in the same shade are punched on
the upper side of the brim.

ender are also smart. These light-colored
felts. especially the white, are as service
able as they are picturesque and becoming

be worn at least two seasons. Cheap felt

white felt, with boat-shaped brim and a
messaline silk is laid loosely inside the
brim, which Is turned up sharply on the
left side. The only other trimming Is a
white pigeon wing perched against the
brim.
Stylish Trimming.
Another charming example of these stin
white felts was seen on a business woman
who has just returned from her annual
trip to Paris. Twisted lightly inside a
saucer-shaped brim was a width of soft
est liberty satin. This encircled the front
of low crown, leaving one end to pass
over the back of the brim. lifting it
slightly at the left side. The satin was

tied in huge knot. crossed the crown
from right to left and entered the left
brim. Two jet black wings extended from
the center and back of the crown directly
out over the right brim. The hat itself
was tilted at gentle angie over the eyes.
For a youthful face a becoming hat is In
stiff pearl gray felt. Steel gray velvet
binds the edge of the brim, which is
turned abruptly over the crown at the
left side in cavalier style. A velvet bow
with four short loops and big knot adorns
the side of the crown slightly to the right.
while similar twist of velvet secures
two broad white quilts at the side of the
left brim. Still another gray felt shows a
cravat bow Of velvet at the front of the
crown. The hat is lifted well at the back
by a bandeau, and a dent in the brim at
the side holds two pert quilts and a clus-
ter Of velvet viOlets.
In Soft Shapes.
PliabIe felt hats are built to give this
same tailored effect by being pinched and
nodded into tall. high-rimmed toques.
These can be shaped more gracefully to
