gone, ana particularly Is TINS so with
head and footwear. A visit to a couple
of the shops where ladies congregate
at times for their millinery developed
a thought that the lady with small
head would lose it under the covering
of one of the prevailing styles of hats.
The leghorn, trimmed with roses that
are always a reminder of summer,
seems to have been supplanted by
thing the love of which must be ac-
quired, for though they may be artis-
tically beautiful the size seems to an
outsider appalling.
The bell shape seems to prevail
among the pattern hats though there
are few of the other styles one of
them, the fat sort, winning enoughffor
anyone. Miss McGregor, at B. r. En-
1ers & Co., has white felt, bell shape
that is delightfully."- swagger. 1t is
trimmed with black velvet and fancy
black and white ospreys and a drape
of black and white Chantilly veil fast
ened with large buckle of mother of
pearl. A shirt waist hat, bold in its
construction but quiet in colors, is al
so bell shape with champagne tones
carried throughout in the trimmings, in
some instances going into the deeper
shade of brown that is shown in two
silk knobs of large size.
In this establishment is also shown
brown felt which spells style in every
feature. 1t is fat shape rather gen.
erous of brim and trimmed in deep
brown shades of ribbon edged with
Oriental braid. A couple of fancy
wings OF the same shade and magenta
stick pins holding two large ribbon
ornaments complete the trimming.
Miss Power has a swell earned repu- |
tation for progressiveness in the mat
ter of style in hats. This season she i
has a bunch of beauties which win
the admiration of the gentler sex. :
Genuine Paris hats, while not predom-
mating in her salon, fern conspic- /
uous part of her display, One of these !
is, not to be too particular in the use
of terms, 'prodigious' in size. 1t is
of black tulle trimmed with a glorious
wealth of toque feathers in bronzy
Dldck, the 1rlueScent nuSS coming OUT
in certain lights. A large satin bow in
front and satin braid on the edge COM
prise the embellishments and make a
swell hat for anyone of the good dress
ers here. Another beauty is black
velvet short front shape with a wreath
of three-quarter-open shaded pink
roses around the top. Failing back
from the front is a graceful black
willow plume and on the back, attach
ed to the brin, is a rose colored velvet
ribbon an inch in width. This is one
OF the most attractive creations of a
French miiliner and like the one men
toned above is imported. In strong
contrast with this elaborate and dressy
affair is the little white chip hat with
it's mighty bow OF black and black {
velvet trimming. This is a genuine
shirtwa:st hat as to style and price
but pretty in spite of its economical
features. Felt hats are to be worn
here as going-away coverings. mainly,
because there is a feeling that felt is !
too warm for this climate. As a mat
ter of fact there is but a trif1ing diff =
ference between the felt material and t
some of the straws; the former has the I
advantage in being more susceptible to
shaping into roguish designs by the
up-to-date miliiner or even the woman 7
of the economical turn of mind who p
does for herself. Miss Power shows e
felt in the most delicate shade of pink, L
so delicate, in fact, that it would be J
difficult to distinguish between it and v
white. 1t is trimmed with shaded a
chrysanthemums and finished with a
large magenta bow. This is what she
viii tell you is a shirtwaist hat but "
from its character. in material and Fl
style. silk shirtwaist is suggested. a
