MRS. HARRIS TALKS
ON FALL STYLES

Mrs. N. F. Harris of the Vogue
Millinery, returned last week from
a thorough search of the style CEN
tiers for the best and most popular in
Millinery. Win seen by Tribune
reporter, Mrs. Harris stated that she
had purchased heavier this year than
ever before. In the course of the in
terview Mrs. Harris gave out the fol-
lowing as to fall styles:
SHAPES-It is noticeable that while
not exactly shown in the fall collec-
tons, the Derby idea is the basis of
many of the new blocks and frames.
The Derby crown is retained with
number of variations in the briWs,
very noticeable in outing hats. The
brims are both fiat and rolled and of
various widths. Many have large
cable edges. A remarkable variety of
three cornored hats is shown, and
promise to be great favorites, such as
Napoleons, Continentals and Colon
ials. They run from small to quite
large in shape, and take the high trim
ming beautifully. The crowns of
some of these are covered sectionally
like the section of an orange peel,
wide in the center and pointed at each
end They are covered with two de-
cidedly different materials. The Pos
tillion shape is another of the pro-
minent styles. In the Postillion, the
crown is usually the regulation, with
great variations in brims. Very large
fiat shapes have not been done away
with and with wide velvet hanges
above the brims, or collars placed fiat
at the base of the crowns, they look
different and very attractive and effec-
tive. Some similar fiat shapes are
turned up sharply at the right side,
the Robespierre is one of these. 1t is
| slightly dropping at the back and turn
ed up at the front side. Shapes of
this sort have diameters of about 81
to % inches. Dress shapes have
(mostly) the elongated shape front
to back idea The head sizes are most
invariably large to permit the hats to
come down rather far, but not to OBJ
struct the vision as was the case not
! SO long ago. The head sizes are a
trifle smaller on account of the pre-
sent style of hair dressing, the hair
brought lightly over the temples and
ears with slight wave, tells how the
| IIlOulSH dTlSltllHe dresses neT locks.
| Hair dressing was never simpler, both
at the back and at the side over the
ears, the little fringe at the front and
the absence of chichi or curls at the
back make the head tiny and almost
flat at the side. In the smaller shapes
also there are many variations of the
Turban with brims rolling up at front,
the brims of many roll back almost
to the crown. A very popular new
, draped Turban is the Maschak, or
Polish Turban. 1t is close fitting and
trimmed high in front. There are
many other small draped shapes, but
generally height is thought of in some
way. and when the crown is not high,
the trimming is a la Drum Major.
HATS-are made of velvet. plush,
velour, plain and bright finish felt and
beaver. The decided innovation in
material is plush and beaver. 1t is
: of various kinds, luster moleskin. We
lour and hatters. all in the erect pile,
except the hatters. The plush is used
by itself and in combination with silks
and felts, the MORE silk being a
striking feature in the silks, especially
in white and black. The moderate
size shapes are more likely to be all
plush. particularly those shapes whose
line are regular Silks woven to give
the Corduroy effect with MORE and
Velour satinee in soft and moderately
firm finishes in combination with black
