Yards and yards OF tho softest, finest
quality of satin are used for the huge
bows that adorn the big hats. and
often two tones of satin are used to-
gether, the full width OF each shade
being used and the breadths sewed to-
gether before the big bow Is TIED. A
turban model by Louison illustrates this
lavish use of satin in bows and loops.
There is nothing on this big turban
except the satin, and the arrange
ment looks fairly simple; but let any
home milliner take Ave yards OF satin
and attempt to drape IL on q turban
shape in the manner Indicated. and she
will soon be convinced OF the skill IL
requires to tie even a simple French
hat bow. wide-brimmed hat covered
with gun metal tafeta silk has an enor-
nous bow made OF satin In the same
shade and a second shade a tribe light
err in tone. This bow covers almost the
entire crown. so that the top OF the nat
seems to be draped with the gray satin.
We shall see a great many big mats
this winter of simple, dropping orim
shape and trimmed with these big SILK
or satin bows, and the fashion Is one
to be commended. for such a hat may
be worn in all weathers, and should
not cost an exorbftant price. unless the
elusive" style-an intangible some
thing which makes all the difference
in the world in tangible value.
Few OF the French hats have rolled
up brims. except in the turban models.
and in these the brim rolls back SO
sharply that II is scarcely more than
trimming on the crown But the droop
of the wide brims is exquisite. 1t Is for
the droop that one pays when the only
hat shape one fancies Is marked away
up at $40 or $12. Thousands and thou
sands of big picture" hats are turned
out each season by the enterprising
manufacturers, but few have that in
imitable grace which really makes a
picture OF the wearer. The shepherdess
droop is one. of the fads of. the season,
and these shepherdess hats, with their
wide, rather straight brims. which dip
just the least at front and back. are
most becoming to all women. A pretty
shepherdess model in black velvet was
worn in a 9Th avenue teaToom the other
afternoon. and though the woman who
wore il was not young her big. droop-
ing -brimmed hat deducted several
years from her age and shaded her eyes
and complexion most becomtngly.
There was no trimming on the hat, save
band of taffeta around the moder-
ately high, large crown, and six big
black chiffon roses set at intervals on
the brim around the base OF this crown.
Another pretty shepherdess type Is
illustrated. this hat being covered with

Take, for example, the poke model which
is pictured today. This hat, dropping
closely over the hair at the sides, Is
lifted two inches at the back by ban
deau of velvet on which Is set velvet

the front of the hat over the eyes in

that il is likely to prove one OF the style

followers of Paris.

the winter hat than that OF rich ostrich
