Chi1dren's Millinery.

In childrens millinery wide assort-
ment Of designs are shown for fall
and both the upturned and dropping
brims are seen. For the very young girl
there is no style of hat that is more be-
coming or more universally favored than
the mushroom shape. There is some
thing about this little shape which sug-
gests childhood. and when little faces
are seen peeping from beneath the droop-
ing brims one proclaims the mushroom
as the only shape for the younger Sener-
alton.
Colonial bonnet shapes and upturned
brims are also seen in an attractive as
sortment so that il is possible TO nnd
quite wide selection In Shapes TOT tne
little ones are found in women hatS-
The tendency seems to be 10 make the
mushroom shapes broader than long. and
the crowns are made in the same way
For instance, a little black velvet shape
had the side brims measuring about four
inches in width, and the front and back
brims about two inches The crown was
made correspondingly broad and narrow,
and was wider at the base than a the
top. The under brin was faced with
pleated pink satin, and the hat was TRIM
med with black satin ribbon folds around
the base of the crown, ending In laTse
rosettes with ends on either side OF me

Another hat in this shape had the upper
part made of buff color broadcloth with
an under brim facing and two-inch fiange
on the upper brin of black velvet the
trimming of this really smart little hat
consisted of a box pleating of three-lnch
velvet ribbon which surrounded the crown,
with a quarter-inch band of buff broad
cloth in the center. on the left brim
of pink with green foliage
The crowns of the mushroom and bon
net-shaped hats are very frequently MADE
of velvet and taffeta, draped or shlrred,
or the material may be put upon the
frame smooth Ribbons. either in the form
of bows, box pleatinss. or flowers, are
used in abundance on these hats. Wnlch
will be worn by children of all ages.
Many small hats and fancy bonnie in
quaint shapes in beaver, plush, velour,
velvet and satin are trimmed with smart
little bows, cockades of ribbon. small
quil or fancy ornaments. few mod
els show the narrow fringe and tassels.
Hats matching coats seen, particu-
larly in pushes. caraculs and velvets
They are usually faced with chiffon,
China silk, or some soft fabric in white
or some light color.
An attractive shape for a child from
four 10 six years of age is the colonial.
In navy blue felt. with the ends of the
side brims square. The brim is edged
with 4 tiny white silk cord, and navy
blue satin ribbon folds surround the
crown. ending on either side of the
brim in large rosettes with ends.
For the older girls some very pretty
hats are made of hoods in white fur
felt. The brims are upturned and are
many times faced with d bright color,
preferably in blue or red. One model
Of this description has the point of the
crown caught the side crown with
a fan-shaped cockade of two small
brushes one in white and one in black
The ends of which are caught with
red silk button W 18th a black ring. The
