COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING ORNAMENTS oE ALL KINDS
Some Cardinal Points That Are Sure
to Be in Vogue for the Hats
of Fall.

If you propose to trim your fall hat
yourself, you cannot go far wrong II
you place a pert pair of wings or a
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back, and the back trimming must
show a trifle above the high crown,
from a front view. Many of the hats
may be reversed and worn any way
that proves becoming. For example,
the smart little hat of velvet with a
rolled brim faced with a lighter COL
ored material and having pair Of
Mercury wings directly in front, might
be whipped around the other way If
one desired, so that the wings would
come at the back and the hat would
be equally modish and correct This
hat has the very tall pointed tor
pedo" crown and is perfectly round
at the base. The crown is covered
with brown velvet and the wings are
brown with fecks of coral pink color.
This model promises to be a favorite
with younger women. The hat is
worn, as the picture shows, slightly
tipped back on the head.

Hoods on Coats.

Instead of a sailor collar, the new
thing is to have a V-shaped hood on
the back of your coat. 1t runs over
in long ends in front and is then
caught with an ornament or a fat
silk bow.
The hood is of lace; that is, heavy
lace, or eyelet embroidery, or old
fashioned batiste. 1t is edged With a
scallop and finished with heavy tas-
sci made of white silk or linen floss.

Earrings Are Worn Very Long-Seed
Pearl NeckIaces-snaks Bangle
Of Jade.

There is prodigious craze for ear
rings, and they are made very long
with the upper part of the drop, in
some cases, scarcely more than
wire. One silver pair of this sort
seen recently twinkled at the ears
and bottom with rhinestones set en-
cabochon. Other earrings come with
the ear gem and drop in glass In
every color to match the gown-green,
cherry, purple, gray and black ear
rings of this sort are abundant and
cheap. But the long ear bob Is only
effective with low gown, and on the
street it always seems a trifle too
bizarre.
Genuine seed parl necklaces come

lars. These are worn with collarless
frocks by young persons with good
throats, and they are worn also with
the deepest mourning The same
short necklaces can sometimes be
found in Japanese seed pearls, which
are more irregular than the others,
but quite as effective. The dainty
gewgaws are about the most stylish
neck fxings seen, and they make suit
able presents for girl.
The snake bangle Of real or imita-
ton Jade has ousted most other sorts
of bracelets. When 1t is the real thing
1t may cost from nine dollars up. The
paste Jade trihe is sold at ninety.
eight cents, and to any but an expert
1t looks as good as the real.
A shirt-waist or tailor-gown ring Is
a pretty fixing made of dull silver
set with paste sapphires in the real
gem colors.

W1 He liking for feather trimmings

out more remarkable feather
