There's many sonnet been penned

"Oh, must have new hat" says
the average woman each season, and
a new hat she gets, even though she
may have to do without some neces-
sity. And do you know that this may
seem foolish to some, but in reality
she Is wise. a. @H- @#
With a pretty hat, fresh and upto-
date, even though her suit is not new
but neat and trim, woman passes
as stylish; but let her appear in an
old hat, detected and hopelessly out
of style and she is referred to as
away behind the times.
And assure you that the old hat
seen on a woman's head hasn't the
slightest resemblance to the one she
has on her mind. ....
! Hats Set Differently :
On account of the popular small
couture there is a decided change in
the way the hat sets on the head this
season. r..
The new hats are blocked so as to
fit the head without hat pins, and set
on as securely as do mems hats. The
head sizes, instead of being round are
a long oval, from front to back, and
the hats set well down over the head,
but not from the back. They are set
straight on top of the head, and then
pushed down to fit snugly. The hats
are either small or enormous in size,
the small hat has the upturned brim
and the large dress hat droops and
undulates. The large flat hat is some
times trimmed with tulle. A new tea
ture is the introduction of the big tam
crown perfectly flat and as broad as
the hat brim, which is of enormous
size. The hats are all worn low, and
the two color combinations. takes
precedence over the solid color.
), colors in sombre Effect.
Autumn colors in millinery con-
tinue in sombre effects. The already
too popular black and white hat ef-
fects are being replaced by new
shades in seal skin brown and mole
skin grays, both known as fur shades.
Then we have new color Eclipse"
the shade the sun casts during that
time.
Our familiar Alice blue and Copen-
hagen of other seasons is called mid
night blue'' this year. Then the &C.
rise and a new red called "Blondin"
and our old standby. navy blue, is
designated as corDeau.
/ One of the new things that the
i local milliners are showing is the
"atchekoo'' hat, it is one of the latest
fads of the season, and particularly
good for girls and young misses. They
are made of velvet and can be worn
on either side. -,
i Ribbon for Trimming
There is going to be great deal
of ribbon used in trimming and on
nearly all the types of hats. Moire
ribbons, showing a picot finish on the
edge are very good. Charmeuse and
liberty ribbons, which flash and scin-
tilate so that they seem to radtate ir-
ridenscence, are used in great guam
titles on dress hats of velvet, plush
and MORE. Their brilliance is often
yelled with maline tulle or Herre lace,
which effect is especially pleasing
when the ribbon selected is in vivid
shade of gold, geranium pink, or
)GainsbQrough blue.
i Ribbon ruches, pleated, frilled or
shirred, and showing picot, pinked or
scalloped finish on the edges are used
to great advantage on street and af-
terqoon hats. Some of the smart
street hats take yards and yards of
ribbon.
! PIumes Used,
Ostrich bands and ostrich fringes
are very much favored by fashion this
season. Ostrich plumes in the broad
flat kind averaging II inches in
length and between 8 to ~ inches in
width are immensely popular both
here and abroad.

with its queerly twisted tip maintains
