COMING STYLE IN TRIMMING
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 If
you place pert pair Of wings or a
sharp pointed bow directly at the
back, and the back trimming must
show trifle above the high crown,
from 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 II
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 favorite
With younger women. The hat is

She talked for an hour, having go,
between me and the door, and she
scolded Jim and Bella thoroughly.
But they did not hear it, being oc
cupied with each other, sitting side
by side meekly on the divan with Jim
holding Bella's hand under a cushion.
She said they would have to be very

house and leaving a dirty corner"
''It will not be necessary for me to
stay and see it swept" said; muster

she planted herself squarely before

ever her name was, and now the Har-

going to see me stripped of my pre-
tensions to domesticity and of hus-
band who neglected me. He was go
ing to see rae. branded a living lie,
and he would hate me because ! had
put him in ridiculous position. He
was just the sort to resent being ri.
diculous.
Jim brought him down in dress
ing-gown and state of bewilderment.
It was plain that the memory Of the
afternoon still ranked. for he was
very short with Jim and inclined to
resent the whole thing. The clock in
the hall chimed half after three as
they came down the stairs, and l
heard Mr.. HARRISON stumble over
something IN the darkness and say
that If it was a joke, he wasn't in the
humor for it. To which Jim retorted
that 1t wasn't anything resembling o
joke, and for heavens sake not to
walk on his feet: He couldn't get
around the furniture any faster.

drew away from Jim, but he jerked
her back. IF anything in the world
would reconcile me to divorce, it is

Bands, wings, crown pieces and
masses of plumes are the rule. More
splendid than the head dress Of the
savage and almost as strikingly In
evidence are these pieces. Women or
fashion wear everything in feathers
from the single quill with wonderful
mottled coloring from the owl and
eagle, to the Pocahontas wreath of
wings. A sentiment has been assid-
uously nursed and gradually grown
against certain plumage, but the lack
of this seems to promote the use Of
other feathers. Some states have
forbidden the sale or purchase of the
heron crest, and it is amazing that
limitations have Immediately taken
the place of these feathers, which
seem to serve every purpose of the
original.
Ostrich continues to be the great
favorite. 1t is used in a world of new
nountings.
