"Made" Hats More Fashionable
Than Blocked Styles.
Velvets, beavers and silks-and particu-
larry velvets, draped over frames are
much more modish than blocked hats
Velvet is extravagantly used. Two yards
are often put into of the big draped
crowns, and beaver hats have bands and
bows Of velvet in matching color. Su-
zanne is particularly fond of these simply
banded hats and makes speciality of
them for younger women. Suzanne is
also passionately attached to blue and

blue hats the rage in Paris. Her big blue

vegetables are twice as funny as the

Of strong toothpicks. A potato makes a
fine brown jacket for a bonny vegetable

onions or tomatoes make good heads and
are also added with toothpicks, and black
headed pins make expressive eyes.
Mouths may be lined in with cloves.
Witches may be put together with toy

Clipped Ostrich the Newest
Feather Fad.

low plumes which have held the center
of the field for several seasons by reason
of their beauty and grace, are the clipped
ostrich feathers which have not a particle
of curl but whose fues are so long and
thick that the plumes are quite as hand
some as the willow sort Very exclusive
milliners are using these clipped ostrich
feathers entirely and the new colors
exquisitely soft and rich, especially by
gaslight.
A very graceful hat with ostrich trim
ming is shown; model with ostrich trim
ming being a wise choice for the woman
who cannot afford many handsome hats.

black and white effect, the mass of
snowy feathers tumbling most effectively
over the black satin hat. This is a
at one side; though the whole hat sets
well down over head and hair giving the
effect Of smaller shape than this really
is.
Smaller Hats an Accomplish ed Fact
The efforts which some Of the French
mi1liners have made to reduce the size of
millinery have been rewarded at last, for
most Of the winter styles are much more
moderate than those of several seasons
past. Large hats-tremendously large
| hats-are seen, it is quite true, but the
general trend is to smaller shapes Of a
chic, jaunty type not possible in the
very large picture styles.
The tricorne ana marqulse shapes have
ridden in on the crest of this smaller
hat wave and these dashing shapes bid
| fair to be close rivals of the ubiquitous
| turban for general street wear. There is
| something charmingly youthful about the
| fricorne hat; so many of these hats have
| been worn by schoolgirls, and in straw
| shapes by the younger women for horse
| back riding. The winter tricornes are of
| beaver and of MORE silk and velvet over
| shaped frames, under and upper brim be-
ing often In contrasting colorings. Tan
| or tilleul, the new mustard shade-and a
/ rich blue are the favorite color combina-
| ton, and usually the tricorne trimming
! is very simple, consisting Of metallic
! ornament, a cockade or two sharp quilts
| thrust through a cabochon of pleated
| velvet.
| The marquise is quite as Frenchified as
| the tricorne, but is not universally be-
coming, as it turns back sharply from
the face and is bit trying to any but a

ored velvet over the crown, using a long
strip of fur on the narrow brim; cabo-
chon or a pert pleated bow of some
metallic ribbon being the only trimming.
If one desires-and cares to spend the
extra money! dropping feather may be
placed at one side, or an aigrette sweep
away toward the back.
Two turban styles are illustrated; one
the Russian turban, with crown rising
straight up from the wide brim, and the
other a Henri ". type, with narrow,
mushroom brim and pulled crown shirred
over cords. In the Henri ". the brim
is sometimes sharply rolled up at one
side against the velvet crown, and the
turban is even more Jaunty and dashing
worn in such manner. The Henri ".
turban illustrated has a rose silk b-im
braided with gray soutache. The crown
is gray velvet, thickly shirred over the
big cords. The towering peacock feathers
are in gray and rose tones and at the
base of these feathers is purplish tinted
owls head, which centers the colors Of
the hat over the eyes.
The second turban Is notable for its
graceful balance-the hat not appearing
at all One-sided, though the heavy trim
ming Of feathers and aigrettes is all
massed at the left side. This turban is

~ YER in ireland Halloween. or
Sambain's Night, is a festival of
mourning rather than jollity: for
on this evening the fairies are said
to depart from the woods and
noorlands, not to return until another
hummer. Halloween, according to the
ancient Druidical notion, falls on the
last day of summer and the name, SAM
Sain's Night, means summers end. On
This night the fairies troop out from
their haunts and have a parting dance
With the witches, gnomes and banshees.
Everybody who has been In Ireland on
sambain's Night knows very well that
1t midnight the wind rises and bowls
iorlornly through the trees and over the
housetops; and Irish little folk are
quite positive that this dismal wai1ing
is not the wind at all, but the lament of
the fairies at being banished from their
beloved dells and moorlands for six
months until May Day.
No parties seem to be quite so much
fun as the two Irish celebrations of st.
Patrick's Day and Halloween. No other
festivities offer an opportunity for such
unconventional and informal good times,
and for these two occasions particularly
interesting and tempting favors are to
be had In the shops. The fascinating
gnomes, hobgoblins, ghosts, witches,
bats, cats and queer vegetable people
fairly coax the pennies out of ones
pocketbook until the little party that one
has planned threatens to turn into an
appallingly expensive AFFAIR.
Very clever Halloween favors may be
concocted at home, however. by the

illustrated, and this hat is SO placed on
the head that the turned back front comes
a wee bit to one side, softening the harsh
line a trif1e. En- PEASANT, Of course, all
the winter hats may be put on any way
one likes, either in the way the milliner
indicates or quite ''hind side before"
Trimmings are as often directly In the
back as in front, and, as everybody
knows, some shapes are turned up at the
right side, others at the left.
To return to the marquise model. This
smart and youthful hat Is of gray beaver
with wide facing of grey-blue plush,
the fan cockades being Of silk In the same
shade. From each of the cockades a
fluffy gray-blue ostrich tip sweeps back
ward.
Tarnished Trimmings Very Smart.
Rusty looking gold and silver seems
to be all the rage now. and in many OF
the most exclusive milliners' windows are
displayed in the solitary glory that marks
the Partisan creation velvet hats trimmed
with gold lace which might well have
been saved over from the actual Louis
XIV. period. SO furnished does 1t appear.
Not only the hats, but the frocks that
come from Paris show these furnished
thing, and certainly accord appropriately
with the "triste'' and morbid" colors
which are the fad just now.
Huge bows Of gold lace, or Of gold net
| yelled with black chiffon, are seen on
black velvet hats, and brown hats also
! show trimmings Of this rusty looking
lace. Brown. by the way, is the coming
| color. Let the observant woman keep her
| eye on browns. Redfern, Cabot and
| Cheruit have all brought out stunning
| brown costumes lately, chiffon and che
! mile embroidered crepe being combined
| with skunk, mink and other brown furs.
and to match these creations there were
! picturesque hats trimmed with the new
| old rusty lace and plumes In tawny mus
! tard and bronze colorings.
| Brown marabout turbans for theater
wear are matched by huge muffs also of
| the marabout, combined with brown vel
| vet shirred over heavy cords. In fact,
| this fad of hats matched by velvet and
| chiffon muffs is a craze at present, and
, all the smart millinery openings have
| made features Of hats, scarfs and huge,
soft muffs of matching material.

There is no doubt that the turban is
here to stay. All Russian effects are
at high tide Of favor and the huge Co.'S
sack and hussar hats with their shirred
and pufred velvet crowns continue to be
the favorites for street wear and are not
being discarded, as some Of the astute
milliners predicted they would be after

For one thing, the turbans, coming far

they are easy and comfortable to wear in
