fabric, as well as in felt and pongee.
These sit we'll back from the face and
have dark velvet lined rolling brims.
which are caught at the left side to
rather small sugar-loaf crown. This is
velvet ribbon banded and terminates in
large velvet bow. placed at the stem OF
bunch of ostrich tips. which fall over
the brim at the right side and droop
gracefully upon the hair toward the back.
Couture to Suit Hat.
Time was when the woman blessed
with a quantity of hair would be reason
ably sure that the public would give her
the credit of possessing It. But times
have changed and especially since Cor
day hats have come into vogue. They
positively demand that the hair shall be
built out at the sides. and this is not an
easy matter for an amateur to accom-
plish. nor comfortable when attained.
There is. however. the compensation OF
decorating that couture with ribbons of
every hue and the little bows which.
rightly placed, look decidedly coquettish.
Some of these are of velvet precisely the
color of the locks but black tulle is also
considered immensely smart as well as
becoming.
Outing Hat for Autumn.
The girl who passes September and Oc-
tober in the country finds soft felt q
welcome relief from the hat OF coarse
straw which she has been wearing
throughout the warm weather. Some OF
the smartest-looking of these soft felt
hats are developed in shades OF cham
payne or pearl gray. their brims edged
and their crowns banded with corded rib
bon of a slightly lighter tone. They are
also good in dark shades of blue and In
tobacco brown. and in the taupe and wood
tints are in favor with college girls. who
han 1fch hal emit in
those tints.
Runabout Felt Hat,
Exceedingly natty and eminently prac-
tical are the medium-sized autumn hats.
developed in soft grays and browns. and
intended to be worn with tailored suits OF
similar shade. These shapes are slightly
suggestive of the old-fashioned Alpine
when viewed from the left side. where
they turn abruptly and sharply against
the sugar-loaf crown. which is trimmed
with broad, smoothly adjusted ribbon
band or swathed with carelessly folded
soft silk or satin. The ends OF the band
trimming may be knotted about the base
of a stiff, outstanding wing or they may
be looped over one side Of the crown and
held in position with metal cabochon-
headed pins.
Fabric Hats.
The woman who buys but one hat dur
ing a season and is not absolutely GER
tain whether she will ever be able to af-
ford another would do well TO purchase q
fabric hat of moderate dimensions and
conventional shape. such as those having
square crowns and straight br1ms. which
may be bent into whatever manner 10
most becoming to the individual face.
The brims of some of these hats are lined
throughout with darker or self-toned
satin, and their trimming is i'm matching
color and of satin, corded silk. velvet or
taffeta ribbon.
Tailored Felt Hat.
Among the modest little hats designed
for early autumn wear none appeals more
strongly to the girl of refined sartorial
taste than do those of fine French felt in
dark brown, blue. green or black having
moderately sized crowns which sit
squarely on the head and brims slightly
rolling on the left side and a trifie de-
pressed on the other. They are trimmed
with satin or taffeta ribbon in two tones
of a color matching the felt, or in one
tone relieved by an oriental band of
rather brilliant coloring. They look trim
and tailorish with simply made suits and
such accessories as white embroidered
muslin blouses or stiff embroidered linen
collars and embroidery and lace Beau
Brummel frils.
