ENGLISH IDEAS
 IN FALL MILLINERY

New ideas for Autumn are still rath- er backward Manufacturers are show ang some shapes with large brims of the sailor type. Some are made with square crowns smaller In the head than have been worn, but deep round crowns. in pudding basin shape, seem likely to predominate. For the early trade both medium and large shapes are shown the size of the hat appar- -entiy depending upon the material of which it is made. A line of shapes | in white moire with black velvet un- dHiorims is thought particularly well of. These are made mostly with mod crate brins in various fancy shapes. Black velvet hats lined with colored tagal form another useful line, and ha4ters' plush lined in with black vel- vet is shown in hats of the border or der. Some are made with square crowns and very narrow brims, but whether these will go we'll or not is still an open question.
 Another useful line is an assortment of large brim shapes in black velvet with the edge of brffn bound with gall loon showing & 15krinch band with thick cord edge on the under side. 2
 Yelours and beavers are considered very good for the medium sized shapes and are shown in trfcorne, boat brims, and in variety of fancy shapes. They are being used rather freely already for the best ready-to-wear type of hat and some smart shapes in the former are selling for present wear with tagal underbrims.
 Soft finish felts in colors with black underbrims are shown in shapes with rather high round crowns and we'll rolled brims. Some of those seen were trimmed with just a fancy galloon band round the crown.
 In feathers a good many high point cd wings are shown, and it is antici- pated that they will be in demand for high frontal decoration. New, soft quill aigrettes are shown in colors with rich pheasant base. Ospreys are in demand for the better class trade, but the prohibitive price makes 1t necee- Eary to provide an imitation for the cheaper trade. . OSTRICH PLUMES IN
 LONDON MILLINERY
 Ostrich in plain, rich plumes is al- ready in big demand and is expected to be a very strong feature of Autumn decoration. Ostrich is also shown in natural uncurled quill effect, some very good lines being made up in pairs with a small wing or fiat feather cabochon base. NEW IDEAS IN TAILORED HATS.
