Hats this season, as well as gowns
and street costumes, are along the
prevailing lines required by the cling
ing garments with which they are
worn, dropping brims and trailing
feathers making them in perfect har-
mony, But while the directoire
shapes are the newest, other jaunty
things are shown and the styles are
adapted to every type of woman.
Mckennon, Anderson & Foster.
In the beautiful display shown at
the stores of McKennon, Anderson &
Foster there are all of the prevailing
styles and shapes of the season. There
are hats for the tall, gracefully
formed willowy woman and there
are suitable hats for those who are
rot so fortunate in the possession of
the seasons standard figure. And
there were all types and styles of
feminine beauty in the crowds that
thronged the store during the day to
see the exhibition of feathers and
plumes and laces and ribbons and
other accessories that go to make the
woman's wearing apparel of this day
and time.
Not only was the crowd that saw
the exhibit at McKennon, Anderson &
Fosters today large one, but an
unusually large number made pur-i
chases, although, as is always the
case, there were many who went
merely to see the display and get a
line on the styles choosing later
time for their final selection And
it's no easy matter in a veritable
wilderness of lovely woman's attrac-
tive head gear to come to conclus-
ion One ses a beautiful directoire
over here which is Immediately pro-
just the thing" only to have
called to the jaunty feather
bedecked Pochahontas that is destined
to prove one of the seasons favorites.
And then there are the LaPetite hats
which answer the criticism that this
styles were designed alto
gether for the tall and "divinely
formed" of the fairer sex. Many oil
the hats,-a large majority of them,-
are large, very large, some even twen-
FIVE inches in diameter, but there are
many particularly nobby ones in the
medium sizes for the women who
shun exaggerated sizes, while for the
tailored street suit there are some
fetching little hats of 1.-The |
turban or toque order that make a |
pleasing combination.
Particularly striking in the display |
At this popular store are the black
hats which are to be worn with all
costumes. There are some especially |
mourning hats. The black
hats are going to be the seasons fav-
,rites and the handsomest patterns
ire in all black, or il not all black,
With only a touch of color. The pill
,ox is rather of an ungainly proper
ion, but it is sure to have it de-
,otees and some of them are so ar
trimmed that one is forced
o overlook the seeming lack of pro-
ortion The Lady Smith and-Geor-
ette hats were also much admired.
While black is the prevailing style
