TUST now there is nothing more in
teresting to the shopper than the
milliner's windows. They are
abloom with their autumn millinery,
and their offerings seem much more
to the taste of the average woman
than were the early showings of the
season just passed. These new hats
will not be the sport of the caricatur-
list, as many modes for spring were.
They are not startling, and they are
elegant and attractive. Dame fashion
seems to have adopted a new fad
Judging by the new fall stayles, 1t is
fashionable to be sensible in choosing
at hat. There is a drift toward dur
ability in all millinery and especially
in hats for the street.
Hats of silk, cloth or leather pre-
dominate and trimmings are of quilts,
wings, well-made fancy feathers com.
bined with ribbon, velvet or maline.
This last looks fragile, but since the
process of water-proofing, 1t has been
discovered, it holds its own with other
millinery fabrics.
Three pretty new models illustrate
the seasons modes. The round hat
trimmed with quilts is a draped tur.

made of broadcloth, felt, silk and of

Some of the best models shown for
fall so far are made of chamois. AS

GATHERED FRILLS OF LACE
Useful in Arranging the Fullness on
Corset Covers Used with
Thin Waists, rxTSSR
~TWTf

-
A girl who is a little inclined to be
thin will often find 1t hard to make
the fullness in the front of her sum-
mer waists sit just as she would like
to have it. These thin waists cannot.
OF course. be kept in the proper lines
all the time, as thicker ones with
bones can, and they need adjusting
when they are put on. A great help
in arranging the fullness is to have
little gathered frills of lace or en-
broidery on the corset covers to be
used with thin waists.
These frills are also most useful
with all lingerie gowns. Many of the
most beautiful of these gowns have
fronts that are largely made OF very
thin lace insertions, and they need
something to hold them out Besides,
the effect of these little rufles is much
better through the transparent lace
and lawn than when the buttons of a
corset cover can be seen.
The frills should not be sewed to
the corset cover, but to a separate
piece of muslin, which must be ar
ranged to fasten on the corset cover
with tiny buttons, or can be fastened
with the very small safety pins under
the upper rufle. A piece of muslin or
lawn must be used large enough to
cover the front of the corset cover
from near the top to below the bust
line. On this are sewed two or three
ruffies-the number depends on the
height OF the wearer and the width
of the lace used-made of lace
strong enough to stand considerable
washing, or of embroidery.

Senarata skirts

Separate skirts of soft cloth are very
wide, in fact they could scarcely be
much wider for actual comfort, and
they are plated. The sheer ones are
over taffeta foundations; those for
street wear are not stitched on the
plaits, but they are pressed into shape.
This is more stylish than practical. for
pressed plaits soon lose shape, but
that Is the style at any rate, Skirts
made Of serge are smart and hold their
shapes well They show somo good
patterns with panels at the front and
back, though many new models are
