thair efforts to show the seasOn's

,,a,r efforts to show the seasons choicest creations. - .o,
 The descriptive sketches which fol- low give a slight idea of some or tne hats but only a close and personal m .s,pection will begin to do juspce to | the exhibit The day was all that | could be desired and many ana va | ried were the praises heard.
 Prohably the leading or most pop | u,arahata for this season are the Marie Louise Charlotte Corday ran ouay. Simonette and Temina, and are | described as follows:
 The model for Marie Louise IS magnificently large gray satin hat with some colored velvet facing. The most notable features. however. were | inc flatness of the crown and the breadth and droop of the brim. The full ostrich trimming, Including plumes and boa. were in shaded gray. A handsome black and white model. ] well worthy of description on account
 of tta dlstinctlve shape, was of black | satin the top brim being braided win soutache. There was very fine b1ack ostrich. fancy band, Witn
 large square buckle composed or Jet
 Hitter buttons. Black and white Wi!-
 low plumes added grace to the gem
 eral lines. ..,,s
 The new flats are the most talked about effects of the season, yet they consist of a simple black silk velvet shape with a torsade of cream white mouseline and a giant rose turning from pink to tea shades. An exponent of the strictly high-class was black silk Velvet, the surface of which fair- lv glistened with quality. Soft hoat- | ing aigrette effects and elegant black l ulumes completed a perfect piece or millinery. The entire absence of trim ming except on one side was notice- able. This feature. shown on several hats of the season. forcibly accents the contour of the same by concentrat- ing the trimming at one point.
 The small hats of the season are of conspicuous crowns with narrow brims. Old rose was the color of the velvet covering one hat shown by Mrs. Ketzky, the graceful plume being match color. The buckle was made of velvet and used in connection with a plating of same. Gold ribbon, less than an inch wide, was strapped as seen, with gold tassels to finish.
 Another model of high caste and exouisite contour consisted of a black silk velvet top. semi-faced with heavy white satin and a crush of black satin about the crown. This hat was graced with the new Directoire buckle with plumes In black and white. ac- companied by elegant aigrette effects.
 Along with the millinery display the various departments of the Racket Store had new and novel fabrics to the forefront. Most notable. however, was the display of tailor made garments made especially from goods selected personally by the representatives of this institution.
