suspicious features Of the fall openini
which began in most Of the large depart
ment stores this morning, to continue
throughout the week. That the season vii
be one Of color is n foregone conclusion
for not in many years have such coloi
blendings been shown, nor have so many
new shades been employed to satisfy the
demands Of Dame Fashion.
Perhaps the most elaborate color
schemes are shown at the wel-appointed
parIors of /. s. Plaut & Co., where the
choicest models Of the milliner and
modistes' art are shown. This shop makes
a specially of foreign goods, made to their
order by the most reputable artists OF
Paris and London. Some Of the models
in hats and gowns are beautiful beyond
description, suitable, of course, for dress
occasions.
For the more practical there Is a varied
supply to select from, many Of the models
being copies of the most elaborate import
ed samples at most reasonable prices.
In the millinery parlor Of this well-ap-
pointed shop the colors most employed
are the varied shades of '%raison, a con-
ceit which is decidedly French; bishop and
archbishop purple. Atlantic blue, the
leather shades and quantities or Japanese
effects in gorgeous embroideries,
The shapes most favored are the Jap
anese Samurai.' the close-htting EN-
pre- and the Rembrandt" with the
wide rolling brim. In selecting one OF these
hats 1t will be seen at a glance that the
arrangement Of milady's coiffure has much
to do with its becomingness' Puffs on
top of puffs, and punches OF little curls
must be piled high on top OF the 'halo
pompadour, If milady cares anything lot
her general appearance, and where Is
the woman who does not know that her
hat Is the most essential part of her cos
tune. II 1t is not becoming she must
make it becoming. and that can only be
done by the arrangement of the hair.
For early fall wear blocked felts are
among the most popular, although sou
swiss silks and chiffon velvets are used
In the construction of the most elaborate
STYLES. Ore beautiful model by Caroline
Rebout. is a Rembrandt Of Atlantic blue
chiffon velvet. 1t is faced with "nacre
green nengaline silk, and Is draped win a
bandeau of japanese embroidery in con-
trasting shades, encrusted with ornaments
of opal shell. A beautiful willow plume
In shades of green and blue, arranged in
military fashion at the left side, gives an
aided touch of smartness to this decidedly
stylish hat.
An Empire hat, which. by the way. is a
Georgette model. is constructed OF black
and gold flet net. A full marabout boa
of the same material is draped about the
crown and is edged with gold military
lace. This is offset by a pompon aigrette
Of natural paradise plumage.
A Charlotte creation is of swiss silk
and chiffon velvet in the new rosewood
shades. The brlm is built In triple layers
around a high, broad CROWN. a decided
gondola shape; and Is draped with a wide
bandeau of Italian gold embroidery. Two
shaded rosewood plumes, gracefully ar
ranged to droop over the left shoulder,
form the only other trimming of this eX-
tremely good style.
Conspicuous among the snowy hats is a
Japanese shape of chiffon velvet in tho
new 'Lope" gray. A full draping Of the
velvet is drawn gracefully across the front
of the hat and fastened with two imported
pins mounted with tiny metallic grass
hoppers. Across the back great sweeps
of ostrich plumage in a harmonlzing shade
fall almost to the shoulder. A touch OF
color is added by the facing OF turquoise
bengaline, which is in perfect harmony
with the predominant color. This model is
by Camille RACER.
A good tailored hat of sage green felt,
known as the "Susanne," has a wide brim
rolled slightly from the face. 1t is faced
with a fiange of green velvet and draped
with a Grecian bandeau in old silver. Two
large cut steel pins hold in place n gor-
geous pompon of Japanese coque feathers
in the popular "Nacre" green.
All of the artists workmanship has not
been lavished on the large hats, for those
made especially for the woman of more
mature years are models of the most ex-
quisite loveliness. One stylish toque in
black and white effect, Is a small plateau
of white bengaline with a triple piping
of black velvet. The coronet is draped
with a band of black chenille embroidery
fastened at the side with two sequin
wings and a spray of croise algrettes.
The toque is finished with streamers of
chiffon velvet.
Among the lovely display Of hats for
little people is a decided empire poke bon
net of pink French felt. 1t is filled in
with a facing OF chiffon closely shirred
and trimmed with a collar of flamboyant
pink ribbon. A pompon of pink tips on
either side forms the trimming, clustered
with loops of pink ribbon. Tie strings OF
pink crepe complete this pretty hat.

gown, with skirt and bodice separate, is
of bishop purple chiffon wolfe. The skirt
Is plated full over a petticoat Of pale
violet silk with a band of silk above the
hem. The bodice is in jumper effect over
a guimpe Of lierre lace with touches Of
silver and violet embroidery that add to
the general appearance Of the gown.
A prlncesse dinner gown of pale blue
crepe de chine is deliberately trimmed with
inserts and motifs of German val lace II
the same shade. Bretelles of the lace
are draped over the shoulders in a mos
graceful effect.
A walking suit of golden brown velve
of the finest texture has a military Goa
in three-quarters length. Serpentine braic
in a contrasting shade is used in the deco
ration OF this garment, which is made
especially attractive by a vest Of hanC
embroidery In brilliant red and green tones
The skirt is plated full and has tire,
applied folds edged with bows Of the mil
itary braid.
A blue broadcloth suit which attractet
much attention is cut after the fashion
Of the sixteenth century. The skirt is tn
approved plated model and the close-ht
ting coat with its full sweeping skirts 1
deliberately trimmed with fancy silk brai'
and a short vest of Persian embroidery an,
caracul cloth.
Among the outer garments there is al
exquisite evening coat of oyster-whit
~broadcloth in severe empire effect. Ap
piled designs of s~erpentine braid, witt
touches Of pastel embroidery form a
elaborate decoration. and a touch of colo
is lent in the collar and cuffs of burn
