Last Years Hat
OUR MILLINERY OPENINGS


Loving Cousin Mary" Found in the
LEGAL Millinery Shops and She Made
the Complete Rounds Of the City
Just "Pipe" This.
Dear Sue:-Yesterday l made a
round of the smart millinery shops
in town and found the little world of
the inevitable and peerless hat agog
and astir with preparations for
openings this week and next. There
was an air of mystery about each
shop and numerous assistants tackl-
ed thousands of interesting tasks be-
bind the screens. The interior of
the shops was a mass of "jeTeld
millinery" a riot of color, and a
maze of shapes. In truth, the vari-
ETY. is so various as Dick says that
think my last years hat will squeeze
through quite presumably for anoth-
er seaosn.
The newest thing out Is a shape so
intricate, not to say horrible, that
the milliners themselves have re-
fused to name it. 1t reminds me of

sage stretched to it's uttermost and

peri gives adequate idea of the
newest" l notice that the latest
and most up-to-date is far from being
the most approved and l doubt if any
but the peachiest of compilations
can stand this new edition of the
peach basket. But then, it doesn't
matter so much what your complex
ion is because I doubt if any but the
most courageous could get glimpse
of it unless yours is particularly
elongated countenance.
At last they have dared name a
color after the money god. They
showed me yesterday the latest out
which is aesthetically and slangily
termed brass" I imagine when the
worse half gets the bill for a creation
concocted of the new coloring matter
he will term it "brassy" with some
nearness to the truth. To tell the
truth, Sue, it's most charming shade
of gold and green and in velvet and
plush ripples like a summer sunset
in a passing breeze
There's an enticing shade of old
blue that becomes the apple blossom
complexion which / think you would
adore. Felts and pushes and vel
vets and satins reign supreme this
winter but the beaver is trifle "su-
premier" | saw them yesterday in
all shapes but the most popular was
the wide, soft, striped black with a
touch of black velvet ribbon. There
are gorgeous reds and blues for
those who care for them and any
number of odd little shapes for odd
little women.
There's one thing about the sau-
sage variety of headgear. 1t will
not prove so much of a bugbear in
crowded cars and theatres. That
idea was brought home by Jack last
night when Mary asked if he liked
her new hat co. he said, cts pass
able" Then you don't like it," she
said dejectedly. "Of course" he an
swered with spirit "All 1 said was

You couldn't last year, you know. y
Which isn't so very bad.
Trimmings are sane and sensible
this season. Lone feathers of great
beauty, a bow or two of velvet or
some other simple thing in harmonic
shades seemed to be approved at all
the shops and the overloaded hats OF
a season ago will give away to more
conservative styles so far as trim
ming is concerned AS for the rest
time will tell
