Simple bow and band trimmings of
ribbon or velvet are seen on some of

however. are stunning in themselves and
the bows Of soft satin ribbon or of velvet
are so huge and so cleverly made that
they make the hat almost as expensive
as a much more deliberately Earnished
model. One manufacturer, who prides
himself on the simple good taste of his
products, Is advertising simple ribbon
tail price. This does seem a bit expen-

The extremely simple shepherdess
shape with a broad, slightly dropping
brim will be the dressy type OF chapeaux
for fall and winter and these big hats,
with moderately high, but huge crowns
will be covered with vel&et, and often
faced, beneath the brm, with light
tone silk. This light silk facing is a
radical change from anything seen at
present, for dark velvet facings have
been the rule. even in light hats. The
light silk facing gives most becoming
tone to the face, when the color is care
fully chosen. and some OF the dress hats
for early fall theater and restaurant
wear have trimming note introduced to

Under the slanting brim is facing of

wine, red and champagne, and this ros.
silk casts very becoming glow on the
face beneath.
These silk facings are seldom put in
fiat, but are shirred over cords. or ac-
Gordon pleated, the pleats being drawn
up smoothly at the upper edge. This
method of facing will appeal to the home
milliner, for the corded or pleated silk
is much easier to set in than fiat
velvet or silk facing, which demands a
knowledge of practical millinery and re-
quires some skill. A big Corday shape
of wine-colored velvet has an under

more toward the back, and many of the
new hats have a dragged-back effect, as
though huge crown, trimmings and all
