Nearly all the millinery worn in
this country Is designed within our
own boundaries. Even the fiction Of
its French origin is growing out Of
favor. This does not mean that we
owe nothing to the French. but that
we could be quite independent Of
them II we chose and that VIC have
designers In our midst who under
stand our needs and also how to de-
sign beautiful millinery, and we have
come to understand this.
These very simple. very pretty and
very American" Uf one may be al
lowed the expression) designs are pic
tured here. They are selected because
they belong to that class of hats
which the home milliper may trim
for herself
A big. rather fat felt hat in the
color called "taupe"-an elephant
gray-is shown In Fig. l.. A messaline
ribbon in the same color is plated
about the crown and finished with q
folded band. The cluster of skeleton
plumes at the side is in brilliant
flame red and mounted with a cabo-
chon In gun metal, harmonizing with
the color OF the hat.
There are various color comblna-
tions which can be worked out sue
cessfully in this hat and although its
trimming is so simple. It is a clever
and chic looking affair which one
may wear with perfect satisfaction.

II is a season of rosettas. They ap

also enjoying favor again. A very
magnificent mantle in bronze colored

falls a long cordeliere with three or
four tassels aud many loops of the
gold bronze silk cord.
