needed for this use, the straw outing
hat must 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 SER
viceable felt hats for fall wear and a
bit of warm color or cool navy blue
may be added in the silk scarf.
When all is said and done and new
fashions have been presented to stand
or fall in popular favor the gentle
woman chooses a gentlewoman's hat
and each season the sensational styles
which are the first sent by Paris to
America are toned down to meet con-
sentative American approval. Ex
tremes are always avoided by women
,of refinement, and it is seldom that the
shape or the color pronounced a fav
orite at the beginning of a 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 mod
ell with a roll toward the left side.
These hats in their beauty and grace
were temporarily thrust to the wall by
the exaggerated peach baskets, butter
tubs and other monstrosities of this ma
ture which descended on the land like
a pest of locuSts. The peach basket
pest over, fashion became sane again
and the charming hats, designed orig
inally for this summers wear, came
forward and have held the field unmo-
Tested
Two Tone Effects Still a Fad.
The new fall millinery colors are
delightful, 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 green's, and
there are also aeroplane green-soft
and grayish like fields seen from
distance-and deep bottle green, as
dark in its way as is raisin, the dark
est of fruit shadings. To tighten these
subdued cOlorings there are sulphur
and mustard yellows, Natter and
Beauvais blues and a brilliant cherry
pink. Amethyst and violet shades
have been extremely fashionable all
summer in Paris, and it is probable
that until holiday time at least these
colors will be modish.
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 we'll
a very smart turban for early au-
tumn wear is being shown the shape be-
Ing flexible felt in one of the new
green shades, with satin trimming in
a slightly lighter green share and two
curv1ng quilts completing the two
tone effect. All the new turbans set
we'll down around the head, and with
waves of bright hair peeping out be-
meath them they are very captivating.
Other styles in simple street hats of
felt are shown with trimmings of
qullls and folded scarfs of silk All of
these hats have the rolling brim which
is to be so fashionable next season. A
flexible felt in the very dark coal gray
color has a high crown around which
are band and pleating of steel blue
taffeta silk, with puffy rosette of
the silk at one side. A silver cord
around the crown, over the blue silk,
and dull silver cabochons at the
~ VI lIIt UlS TOS6lte make a very
attractive color harmony with the dark
coal-dust hue of the felt
MORE Silk for Dress Hats.
Every season has its distinguishing
fabric. Last year the fabric was OF
toman silk. Now it is MORE silk. This
heavy silk, with its watered effect in
the weave, will be used not only for
trimmings, but for whole hat cover
lngs; some of the larger shapes hav-
ing MORE tops and velvet facings. One
dressy model shows MORE on the upper
part of the brim and around the crown,
the top of the crown and the brim
facing being of velvet.
The smartest wells are those with
square or octagon mesh and with WOW
en- discs or rings rather than chenille
dots. The face veil is worn longer in
Paris now and quite covers the chin. A
generously big veil is purchased and
