Autumn, in all its glory of cor.
rect millinery exhibit, was seen today
at the new enterprise, "The Francis
Shop corner Maryland avenue and
Prince George street in the building
formerly occupied as a drug store by
DR.. Charles B. Henkel.
The new parlors will be also open
for inspection tomorrow. The hat as
shown today. designed by Miss Cryer
WED with the most approved Paris
creations. Colorings for fall are large
ly subdued and autumnal-in fact.
All-black and black -and-white seem
to predominate. In size and shape,
however, there is almost unlimited
| choice
Small hats, medium size hats and
large hats-some extremely large, are
here and every hat is good style.
We make no recommendations
decision lies solely with you. On
the large hats, immense willow
plumes are in high favor, as are
also large wings, while on the
smaller hats, gold and silver tissue
and touches of Persian effects are
often seen. But what is the use of
descriptions? This announcement
will have served its purpose if it
arouses your curiosity and awakens
in you desire to see the hats them
selves at the Francis Shop. And we
can assure you that the visit will be
amply repaid.
There is distinctive note of differ
ence in the styles of autumn milli-
merry from those of spring. Height
distinguishes everything, feathers
are piled on in pyramid fashion,
crowns run up in points, sugar loaf
fashion. There are soft crowns of
silk and satin and velvet. There are
some models broad, but all are high.
Hats seem to be pretty much
"heady." Some of them cover the
head completely, but do not eclipse
the neck: There seems to be a new
treatment of the brims, they have a
more or less upward curving point in
front. This is, perhaps, the most de-
cided innovation of any. 1t gives a
piquant appearance, and is becoming
to younger faces.
Many of the hats are freakish in
contour, but all are stunning and
chic. Turbaus seem to be the popular
mode, they are in evidence every
where, although not so heavy in pro-
portion as those of last winter.
They fit close to the head like dust
ing cap. Miss Cryer showed an ex-
quisite model in turban, the Suzanne
Talbot" mode of black velvet and
trimmed with broad band of light
blue velvet tied in bow near the
back, trailing branch of flowers in
soft pastel tones of blue, pink and
red, formed garniture across the
top of the crown. This model is
meant to be worn over the new thea
tire cap, which is featued in the early
autumn millinery. The cap was
made of silver net with a brim of
silver lace over an under-hounce of
real lace.
Uncurled plumage is very smart this
season. Ostrich feathers are used in
abundance and are more gorgeous
than ever. The Francis Shop had on
exhibition among other attractive
designs a large black silk beaver,
faced with velvet, and a huge black
plume, covering almost the entire
hat. Peeping out between the feather
were two exquisite silver roses.
The Limages crown of peacock blue
is a toque-turban sometimes mistaken
for the Russian turban, was dream
of loveliness. Roses with gold petals,
and tiny orange bow, gave touch
of color and added a Frenchy effect to
an altogether beautiful model. There
were tailor hats shown, walking hats,
travelling hats, and hats with enor-
nous bows along the airship lines
No words can describe the smartness
and skill with which these bows are
Put together. A beautiful PLAGUE
in amethyst velvet with gold applique
band and white aigrettes was much
admired. A large Gainsborough in
black velvet, with gold net facing anc
long willow plume with roses Of
silver thread was stylish and becom
ing. American beauty velvet, in one
of the new shapes, was stunning in
effect.
Children's and misses hats were
shown in exclusive and fetching
styles. A child's hat-a white plac-
que of felt, over a blue silk lining,
covered with white chiffon, and /;
baby blue ribbon interviewer to attacl
the PLAGUE to the brim of the hat
An exquisite theatre hat of gold lace
and coral velvet with touch of golC
braid was much admired. There were
hats shown at The Francis Shop Il
suit all occasions. A large blael
French felt hat with large blacl
and white wings around the crown
and an American beauty buckle
twas one Of the most stylish hat
shown.
