Evening star., 1907-11-02

T is going to be mighty difficult this
season to enforce the order even at
places of amusement Ladies' Will
II please remove their large hats" OF
course, at the play this old request
must be acted upon If the audience IS TO
catch a glimpse of the stage, but II is
a toss-up between the large hat and the
equally large Co;tfure when 1t comes to
seeing things" At mUsiCales and lee
lures the fashionable mandate is Keep
hats on" The woman who formerly
went to Sunday morning service to study
chapeau fashions can now stay comfort
ably in bed and dream over the modes
she has seen al the last Ibsen lecture
There is no appeal from this cruel hat
verdict and no use in the world for the
masculine sex to grumbie. for this year
hats are too expensive to let their light
be hidden, and they are too ponderous to
be lightly taken Off and crushed down
on the lap. SO there you are,
IN the wedding professions of modish
brides there will be another innovation
short wedding gowns. The practical
girls of today have decided that the tra-
ditional long train is expensive and Of
no earthly advantage. The crux Of the
situation is more nearly found In the
novelty of the thing
In Paris moleskin chiffon velvet Is
making some Of the smartest costumes,
and the directoire suit pictured in one
Of the cuts Is carried out in this fabric.
A long shoulder effect is given the coat.
with braid of the same shade, which is
also applied on the skirt In two rows at
the bottom. The small reverS and cuffs
are of Bulgarian embroidery. Chinchil-
la, a pretty but pcrishable fur, is used
in the three piece set. The muff is
particularly comfortable one to carry
with short sleeves. as the ends are pro-
vided with bands that fit over the wrist.
There is nothing strikingly new about
the stole and muf of Persian lamb but
it is elegant in every respect and always
one of the good styles.
Fads in Fall Hats.
1t is one of the fads of fall to have
the facing Of your hat match your hair.
The bandeau is also the color of the
hair and the little putting Of malines
match to the coiffure. This is a par
ticuIarly becoming fad. for It does away
with the sharp outline between the hat
and the hair.
The new hats are quite large and
built upon decided picture shapes. Never
were hats so closely copied after the
famous paintings of beautiful women.
The woman who would like to have a
fashionable hat could not do better than
select one that is built upon the new
lines. 1t will be disht shaped, with
rather low crown and a wide brim.
The brim is narrower in the front than
in the back, and the hat Is to be worn
well back on the head. 1t can be trimmed
with feathers or with bows of satin rib
bon. This style of hat Will doubtless
hold its own all winter.
A Chic Wrap.
An unusually handsome carriage wrap
of the severely plain style has just ar
rived from Paris for Well-knoWn WOm-
ans carriage wardrobe. 1t IS to be worn
over dress costumes 1t Is of the finest
of black panne velvet in long, rather
box shape the sleeves being cut in with
the garment, which has deep armholes.
The coat is SlaShed at each side to the
waist line, opening over panels of sun
ray plated black chiffon and crossing
over the chiffon. Holding the two sides
together are four-inch bands of silver
metal lace. A narrow band of black
caracal of especially silky finish borders
each slashed edge.
The collar is shawl shape of finest
