But my lady OF today will appear one
OF these bright autumn mornings In the
bois wearing this latest of millinery master
pieces. Many smart shapes besides toques
and hemlets are being worn, including the
ever-popular sailor. which this season is de-
veloped In chenille and is trimmed with
quilts and rosettes. On some Of the seasons
millinery creations are to be seen many
as three pairs Of wings of enormous length
and varied In color. Different tones of
brown and wood shades are extremely good
style on hats of light tan or white felt. and
stunning first fall walking chapeau is Of
cream felt, the Gainsborough crown and
brim faced with brown velvet. A cocks
plume trims this natty model. For autumn
and early winter the hats most worn will
be of soft and glossy felt and beavers, long
haired and shaggy. and of brilliant color
ings to share honors later on with velvet
cloth and fancy braids.

The large all-black hat is a stunning az
fair this season and depends for its smart
ness upon one long magnificent ostrich
plume. A piquant touch of color is added
by way of a single rose of becoming color.
And these roses-what monsters in size they
are! II 1t were not for their lovely tInts one
would imagine a cabbage had been plucked
from a patch and thrown at the hat Guam
titles Of maline are used on fall hats espe-
cially those of dressy character. virot
showed me charming big. floppy gray hat
the other day destined to see the light of
day at the autumn races. About the low
crown was a wreath Of large gray grapes
and three of the most enlarged species of
La France roses 1 have so far encountered.
Covering them, as In a mist, was a cloud
of gray maline. The hat was slightly raised
from the head by a bandeau OF plated ma
line. This mingling of grapes and roses
is whim Of the moment and Is prettily
carried out In a toaue signed "Denon-
taines." In this instance the artist has
chosen mordore velvet expression of
his art which material is pulled about the
brim of the round turban and banded in the
center with fancy galloon showing orien-
tai colorings. Massed at the back and tum-
bling over the crown are tea roses and
punches of Burgundy grapes
Some one of note recently said that Eek
travagance In dress has reached a point
where a halt should be called for refiec-
ton" am afraid this good piece of advice
will hardly be followed when fashions are
nomical as long she has a looking glass
And certainly no woman with a shred of
respect for her appearance will turn from
rose-draped looking glass in a Rue de la
Paix millinery establishment without buy
ing the creation that has caught her fancy,
be the price ever so extravagant.
In some of the smart dressmak king
ateiiers there is miniature stage softly lie
with electric lights and draped with colors
that have the effect of elusive clouds 1t
Is fronted with footlights, and upon this
mimic stage leading luminarIes in the theat-
rical profession fitted. All sorts of
color tests are applied to the costumes and
Imitation sunlight and moonlight are turned
upon them by the simple device of a mirror
trimmed with lights changeable at will by
means of mechanism. The fashionable
couturier has heavy expenses. but the high
prices obtained amply compensate for the
outlay. CATHERINE TALBOT
