inner pockets for small articles will be

Ribbon Fads of the Summer.
GUNNER girls are wearing their sashes
- in new way. 1t does not go around
the waist for the frock will most likely
be one-piece affair with no waistband
or one of embroidery entire deux. So
the sash ribbon is tied in pretty butter
fly bow, which is pinned to the back OF
the frock just below the shoulder blades,
the long ends falling to the knees. The
pretty girls now bind up their pompa-
dours with ribbon before engaging in 4
game of golf or any other out-of-door
sport. The ribbon is tied around the
head, quite close to the edge of the hair,
and serves to keep loose, flying ends out
of the face and eyes as the wearer runs
or moves.

THE TAX OF TIPPING.

THE pleasant country house visit over
a weekend becomes a trying problem
TO the woman not endowed with large
supply of worldly goods. In some OF the
large houses it is by no means unusual
for servants to receive five and even ten
dollars on the departure of the guest
Two dollars is the least one may offer
the maid who is sent in to assist one
with the hair brushing or unpacking.
and dollar is none too much for the
man who brings the trunk upstairs:
another dollar going to the man who
brings 1t from the station If one leaves
early and an extra breakfast must be
provided, dollar must go to the butler
as well as the fee which is presented TO
the chauffeur who has been reused up
betimes to carry one to the train.

many of the graceful models ready for
fall show this cavalier shape. Such
hat, heaped with fluffy marabout trim
ming, is shown in the Illustrations.
Many variations of this rolling brim
will be seen, but in almost every case
the new crowns are alike-rather high
with fiat tops. The low, conical crowns
of last year are no longer seen. One
pretty model for first fall wear has a
rolling cavalier brim and a very high

the crown within the roll of the brim
is a little stiff cluster of roses. in pink,
shading to dark beauty tone.
The rolling brim is a welcome change
after a tiresome period of mushroom
millinery. and the brim that curves
slightly is much less harsh and trying
than the severe mushroom line. So many
varieties of roll brims are ready, too, that
every face may be suited.
"A the smart French millinery designed
for first fall wear with tailored costumes
shows a favor for wings and other stiff
feather trimmings. Some of the wings
are enormous, measuring more than
yard from tip to tip. Sometimes these
big wings are combined with long, soft
breasts. which encrcle the crown, the
wings pointing toward the back. Heron
and gull feathers are much used, and
the short, fan wings, standing up pertiy
at one side. are considered very smart.
A green mapped beaver, with one side
of the brim smashed up against the high
pert fan wings standing up like cock
ade, and on the opposite-or lower side
of the lrat-an immense cabochon of
pleated green velvet. This is very au-
thoritative model and is full of dash
and chic.
So many outings take place during the
fine fall days that a special hat is needed
for this use, the straw outing hat most
probably by this time having become
hopelessly unpresentable. Smart outing
styles are shown in flexible felts with
simple, yet correct, trimmings of crushed
silk scarfs and jaunty wings or quilts.
The gray and brown tones are the best
in these serviceable felt hats for fall
wear. and bit of warm color or cool
navy blue may be added in the silk scarf.

Jaunty Turbans for
Curly Haired na1ds

the first sent by Paris TO America are
toned down to meet conservative Amer
lean approval. Extremes are always
avoided by women of refinement, and 1t is
seldom that the shape of the color pro
nounced favOrite at the beginning OF
season holds its place after the sitting
of the styles An instance of this was
demonstrated early this summer. At the
beginning of. the spring advance models
by the best milliners showed the wide
brimmed, broad-crowned cavalier model
with a roll toward the left side. These
hats in their beauty and grace were tenn
porarily thrust to the wall by the eXag-
gerated peach baskets, buttertubs and
other monstrosities of this nature which
descended on the land like pest OF o.
Gusts. The peach basket pest over fash
ion became sane again, and the charming
hats, designed originally for this sum-
mer's wear. came forward and have
held the field unmolested.
The new fall millinery colors are de-
lightful, and many women will choose
colored hats in one and two-tone effects
for wear with black or gray suits. For
first street wear there are felts in all
the soft vendage-or grape harvest
shades: caramel browns and smoke and
elephant grays. A brand-new color
called vert de girls is represented among
the greens. and there are also aeroplane
green-soft and grayish, like fields seen
from distance-and deep bottle green,
as dark in It's way as is raisin, the dark
est of the fruit shadings. To tighten
these subdued cOlorings there are sulphur
and mustard yellows. Natter and Beau
vais blues and brilliant cherry pink.
Amethyst and violet shades have been
extremely fashionable all summer in
Paris, and it is probable that until hol-
iday time at least these colors will be
modish here.
The new wing and quill trimmings are
dyed in these soft. beautiful shades, as
we'll as the ostrich feathers, and all the
new satins, velvets and MORE silks will
match as well.
A very smart turban for early autumn
wear is illustrated the shape being "a
flexible felt in one of the new green
shades, with satin trimming in d slightly
lighter green shade and two curving
quilts completing the two-tone effect All
the new turbans set well down around
the head, and with waves of bright hair
peeping out beneath them they are very
captivating.
