ind no thought as yet of the coming
Fall, the first fashion harbingers of au-
sumn make their appearance in smart
millinery intended Tor wear with fall
ailormades, but appropriated by the sum-
mer girl for wear with those white and
colored linen suits which have been her
summer street garb since early June.
The fact that the dressy summer hat
ls worn quite late in the season Is in all
probability responsible for the majority of
tailored effects in the first models.
Revelations in these are not so numer-
GUS as one might expect, for the reason
that copies land adaptations of popular
summer shapes and duplicates Of late
summer novelties are represented in all
the high class openings. The variations
OF the mushroom are many, but each and
every one Is SO attractive In its shaping
as well as trimming that even those who
early tired of the summer model, will
Y look upon them with favor.
The all white hat of soft French felt
with trimmings Of ribbons, wings and
various feather effects is conspicuous In
! headwear for the younger set. The white
hat goes well with late summer frocks
and does not look out Of place like one of
darker hue. In these broad brimmed
shapes prevail, for the small, close-ftting
hat Is not 80 youthful and consequently
as becoming. The only shape which
might be classed as small is the cowboy,
but even this has medium brim, turn

white, tan and gray felts, simply banded
with ribbon, or trimmed to accompany a

gouras plumes, sweeping back from the
rolled brim where scarf of chiffon cloth
folded around the crown finishes in soft
knot.
The gouras plumes, by the way. are n

The bandeau or cache peigne finds a

are not lacking where 1t Is covered plain

little trick and many American women
have followed in their steps.
The broad brimmed sailor with trim

as one can find anywhere this season.
