IA OW that all the French hats that
are to make their bow very
shortly at the important open
II ings are actually here and safe
ly out Of their tissue paper wrap
pings, one Is able to arrive at fair
IL clear conclusion as to what fall
millinery Is really to be. Did you
ever see Paris hat creation. just as
it came from the French milliner's
atelier - packed with consummate
skill and tenderness for its safe Jour-
ney across the ocean? Yards and
yards Of white tissue paper all crushed
into folds and airy wads are laid un-
der it, over it and around 1t in the
big, light box Of thin wood In which
it travels. and after it's fortnight of
journeying by rail and by sea It
energies into the light Of day as per-
feet as when 1t left its creators hands,
not a fold Of gauze crumpled. not a
limo Of its perfection harmed.
All the wooden hatboxes that have
crossed the Atlantic this year have
been monstrously high: they had to
he to accommodate the new fall hats:
When Paris millincrs have whispered
that the autumn hats were to be as
large as ever they meant large In
height, not in width. Towering crowns
are the things now. and these high
crowns make the brims, which are
really quite sizable in width, seem
small by comparison. There Is a dig
nifty and style about the high crowned
hat which makes up for the greater
grace Of the fiat crowned model; but
the new hats do not lack picturesque
ness, for all their height and some OF
the models are fascinatingly chic and
becoming on the head.

Feathers on Most of the Dress Hats.
Gorgeous ostrich feathers in shaded
effects are used on the handsomest
Of the French millinery, a single
plume often showing as many as
three or four shades, the deepest color
being usually at the edge. Two Of
these splendid plumes stand upright
at either side Of the high crown, meet
ing over it's top where they are Joined
together. the tips falling freely. Some
times the plume slants toward the
back and 10 wired almost its entire
length. the top bobbing over the back
Of the brim as the wearer OF the hat
walks. These high hats with stifiiy
arranged plumes have a suggestion
of strutting bantams which Is rather
comical and 1t requires q good deal
of chic in carriage and costume to
wear such a hat successfully.
A stunning hat from Virot Is of seal
brown velvet in dashing admiral
shape. with the brim turned up at
front and back with peaks over the
ears. These peaks extending out
ward over the ears are a feature of
fall hats. and very pert and youth
full they are. The Virot hat Of brown
velvet is faced with brown satin, and
the roll at the front is only half the
height of that at the back which turns
up to half the height of the brim. Two
superb plumes deep tomato red at the
hearts and golden brown at the tips,
are wired to stand up at either side
of the crown, the tops hanging free
in the manner above described. No
crown is visible. the rich plumes en-

A new fall hat with this peaked eff

Louis model which makes a very
graceful frame for the face. Most
of the new hats accomplish this ex-
cellent result and one hopes that the
1reakish shapes, dragged down gro

thing of the past. The Louis hat fs a
