AUTUMN FADS IN HATS.
BY BEATRICE poWLER.

New York, Oct 13-Actine upon
the assumption that detailed descrip-
ton of a few of the newest and pref
test autumn hats is worth more than
columns of general observation con-
corning the, millenry of the hour, let
me award the prize for elegance and
pictorial effect TO the Lamballe model.
The hat in a way recalls the Eng
fish Dolly Warden shape, and is very
simply trimmed with mass Of
plumage or flowers on the crown and
at the back, with a. ribbon bow and
hair-colored tulie. that popular brown
shade that does not appear to falter as
a fashionable millinery accessory.
One such hat shown to me last
week has a brim of stretched taupe
Colored satin and crown made Of
handsome ribbon covered with d
blurred patterns in fuchsia and rose,
While waving on high were the hand
soonest ostrich feathers, each quite
short and with the tip curved down
gracefully over the brim.
With a fervent hope that the lit
tie feathers used for the autumn
plumage hat are only those of the
Darndoor fowl or game birds, let me
chronicle an absolute furore for such
millinery and in all shapes. One
model has a crown of shaded green
plurlage and a brim of wood brown
Oidld SATdN. WHICH Is. OF course, much
more substantial that chip or Leg
horn. and thus more autllmnal and
another is made of all the most deli
cate creams, browns and a. dash of
ora1ge folded as If II were velvet as
regards the crown and given rolled
brin.
Ribbon and wings are the two
prominent adiuHcts of the millinery
world at present with the exception

IN fashion, and marabout to be used
this autumn in the form OF huge, soft
pompons. Some of the turbans with
their pointed fronts and draped
crowns need nothing more than suf-
ficiency of ribbon to trim them.
Very piquant is the APPEARANCE or
such a hat when trimmed with a sash
of excessively rich ribbon. as stiff in
texture as the old Coventry pieces
We're In the days when book markers
were in fashion as keepsakes.
The question of the long or short
sleeve is just now agitating the mini
of the woman of fashion to an extent
which seems almost out of proper
ton to the Importance of the subject
Where the dressy gown is concerned
there is no doubt that the short
sleeves will have a triumphant reign.
and no considerations Of cold or of
economy in the matter of gloves will
induce the woman of fashion to aban-
don IT for that of q more sensible
length. The same applies TO the more
elaborate description of coat.
All the small coats OF an ornate
character in fact. are to be furnished
with sleeves which, If not actually of
elbow length, are very rarely longer
The little more" is, however, very
carefully measured out by the fash
ionable tailor, as most of the COM
promises between the long and short
sleeve have q tendency to spoil the
whole appearance of the gown: almost
suggesting q garment which has been
grown out Of Even the fur mod
els of an elaborate description are all
OF them fashioned with short sleeves.
some being made with a deep cuff
which can be turned up or down, an
swering either purpose equally well.
Where the severe tailor-made, how
ever, which will be greatly i'm evidence
this season, is concerned. d short sleeve
IS an fncongruity which no well-dressed
woman will permit, and in a case of
this kind only a moderate fullness at
the shoulder is permitted, the cuff
reaching to the wrist. One or two of
the leading tailors are introducing the
dropping shoulder effects of a couple

this will be adopted by many devotees
OF 1aShlOn IS Still a mOOted point.
WaistcoatS Of checked material
with bolero of plain cloth will be en-
interesting feature of the new autumn
costumes. These waistcoats will be
hordered with plain cloth to match,
and supplemented with sleeves of the
checked material, the bolero which
will be worn with them being made
in many cases with short epaulette
sleeves terminating half way between
the shoulder and elbow. Most of the
skirts are made with front panels
which are narrower at the top, in
many instances, than they were last
year, but graduate towards the hem
Box pleated skirts are also to the fore,
and i'm cases where the cut of the
iupe is of the most simple descrip-
ton they are often finished at the
back with a couple of narrow box
pleats.
