the crown is high and broad; it is trim

like and the most unfortunate feature
of all it is not generally becoming.
Color combinations are among the con
spicuous features of fall and winter hats.
and where the bright colors are used very
stunning effects are often obtained. Blue
and red are not as patriotic looking as
they are sounding, and number ow late
French hats are in these colors. The
reds incline rather to the qinkish rose
shades. while the blues are the brilliant

In dresses as we'll as in hats comhina-
tons of red and blue are immensely pop

red and the franker shades being liked as
a relief to the extensively used dark
hines. The purples, too are combined
with reds in a large number of models,
and while the effects secured are some
times a trifle voyant for conservative
tastes one must admit that certain mod
els emananting from Paris in these color
ings are amonng the loveliest creations
of the season.

French dressmakers has sent over a verS

of shot effects in certain lights.
The short loose coat crosses from
right TO left and fastens from throat tC

attached TO the coat. encrcling the neck
closely and falling in short ends over the
