retail establishments. they are
u - now arriving from Partisan
sources In goodly numbers. Ad-
vance models indicate that the side roll
shape Is to continue its summer popular
ity. Ribbons are to be employed In great
profusion and In various novel ways In
combination with wings and striking nov
elites in feather arrangements. The high
crown is a marked feature of the early
autumn millinery. as are also the side roll
and the wide brim. Smart hats for semi
dressy wear with natty walking costumes
are developed in white French felt and
trimmed with silk, satin and velvet In
dark tones and white. Fancy feathers
which sweep backward from the left front
give a decidedly effective line to the head.
The directoire shape known as the shep-
herdess will continue In high favor
throughout the season. Its trimmings VIII
consist OF ribbon disposed in various ways
and handsome wings spread over the
large crown and rather expansive brim

The Gored Skirt.
The skirt that is fashionable and that
washes well is In seven or ten cores. II

eleven cores it is equally correct.
The only trimming Is stitched bias
band or fold we'll up toward the knees.
It should be fully three inches from the
ground unless you wear flat-heeled high
boots The short skirt is no< for you I'M
der these conditions.
Nothing is uslier than a skirt that stops
at the ankle TO show an old-fashioned
shoe which. because of its fiat heel and
round or square toe. gives to the foot

The short skirt Is for the boot or the
low shoe with straight Spanish heel.

can cut her skirt as short as convention
allows. Wearing an ugly shoe-and this
means one with a French heel as well as
one with fat heel-she should always
wear skirt that covers It.
The gored skirt that Is fastened down
the front or the side is newer than the
one fastened down the back. We have
