Ribbons and wings will play an i'm

wings have been relegated to the attic,
and the early fall hat is with US.
In general form it bears close re-
semblance to its summer cousin, being
only one season removed. It is neither
very large nor very small, and while
the rolling brim effects, with medium
crowns, predominant, still the variety
of smart shapes is so great that one
will have no difficulty in being suited.
There are the straight-brim sailors,
so trim and jaunty for street wear,
trimmed with ribbon or wings; there
are several new adaptations of the tri-
corne style; there are soft, big-crowned
Yelts. and demure, dropping velours, as
well as large turbans having somewhat
modified Tam O'Shanter crowns and
charming models for dressier wear built
on excellent lines with slightly rolling

For early fall wear the silk hat
