FADS AND FANCIES.

Ostrich plumes and either natural
or long waving made feathers bid
fair to continue in popular favor for
early fall millinery.
The midsummer hats show
change to lower crowns and broader
brims. a natural result of the neces-
sity for shade hat to protect the
eyes.
The round veil is again coming
into vogue.
A touch of color is proper in the
lingerie waist, but it must be deli
cate and simple.
A good way for woman to deter
mine the choice of her hat trimming
is to match the color of her stock
ings. This is favorite fancy of the
fashionably gowned women these hot
days.
The extreme styles of sleeves are
quite permissible They may scarce
" cover the shoulder or may extend
to the wrist. Any modification OF
these extremes is quite as proper.
