Headwear To Please WOman's
Fancy
All roads in Annapolis today led
to the three millinery parlors OF
Mrs. J. M. Strange, Miss F. NJ.
Woolley and Miss ljams Hardisty.
where hats so handsome and of such
beautiful design were exhibited as
to turn the head of any of Eve s
fair daughters, and the price, in a
few instances, at least, was calcu-
lated to deplete the bank account of
dear hubby to whom most of the bills
will be sent for my lady's headwear.
The ora Gle of Delphi never spoke
more with force than did the exquisite
/ creations at the three millinery parlors
whose in most councils of tie Pari-
sian millinery oligarchy are qualified
to say what shall be and what shall
not be worn the fall and winter sea-
| son.
big hats-.bigger and prettier
than ever-will be worn and chic
little turbans will be with Us in abun-
dance, but as for the medium size hat
by compromise it will be hard to
find" said Miss Hardisty, whose
millinery parlors, LAP Main street,
over F. A. Munroe's store were
crowded throughout the day with fash
ionable women.
while there are to be no radical
departures from the modes of last
season." Miss Hardisty continued,
there are many innovations which
will add much to the attraction and
beauty of the lats. Most of the
large hats will be of the Marie An
toinette shape large of brim and
crown, with the brim turned up at
one side. In many instances the brim
will have but a slight roll, though
the entire side may be turned up if
desired. There will be a great de-
mand for wide, brilliant tapestries
with designs that are taken from Per-
sian shawls and hangings. Gold lace
will also be used in abundance
"But it should not be gathered
from what l have said that the hats
of this fall and winter are to be
gaudy or unduly bizarre. On the
other hand, the shades must be in per-
feet harmony, and every adornment
should add something to the hat as a
whole"
Miss Hardisty showed a beautiful
hat, the Suzanne, work of a mas
ter artist. Its crown was of exquisite
white lace over white satin faced
with back velvet, the only trimming
being long willow black plume
gracefully draped over one side and
back.
Another attractive hat exhibited
at Miss Hardisty's very attractive
millinery parlors was a gray draped
chiffon yelled over silk, with gray
wings and Persian and rhinestone
buckle.
A mourning hat was novel crea-
ton. A large black felt draped with
black net yelling edged With three
rows of black gros grain ribbon, the
veil reaching in the back in graceful
folds far below the waist.
Another importation was a large
black silk plush. edged with gold lace,
and worn over a cloth of gold theatre
cap edged with gold lace Two large
plumes gracefully fall over the
crown. Many brass effects are
shown. A bronze hat of velvet and
bronze cords with large coque
plumes, was becoming. A Poke
stylish hat in black velvet with
Persian crown of chiffon yelled over
satin was very effective.
One importation shown by Miss
Hardisty was a Marie Antoinette
shape in colbert blue plush with hand
some black willow plume and an Ad-
miral cord and tassel
A "fowerpot" shape in peacock
blue was one of the extreme shapes
shown. 1t was in payon velvet in
! blue with plume of the same shade
and band of silver applique. Blue
4 beaver cloth hats were shown with
wings of extreme size, and soft crown
1 turbans in velvet and Spanish tur-
bans in black satin and Persian trim
/ ming were exhibited at the opening
7 to the admiration of the ladies'.
Miss Hardisty's hats were priced to
suit all. Beautiful hats at moderate
prices were exhibited, as well as high.
( priced hats. Plumes were very much
in evidence, and dahlias were the
favorite flowers. Tapestry bands
and Persian effects were seen OIL mapy

disty has secured the service of a
designer, and her millinery display
