What Was Seen At First New York
 Millinery Opening

Only a small number of duplicate
 models were noticed in trip around the Openings, a fact that gives great deal of satisfaction. Full sway is given the imagination in regard to the colors, materials, trimmings and shapes of the imported models. Contrary to the usual custom, many of the early hats are large, new feature being the elongated hat, which hasa decidedly long line from front to back. In most cases this polonaise
 hat, as it is termed by many. has the rolling turned-up brin, others of
 this type suggesting the large tricorne.
 While the derby hat is not shown at all in its entirety, still the Quaker hat, which promises to be very good for Fall, has suggestion of the der by in its general appearance. The rounded crown and brim, which rolls Lup against the sides, give the appear Tance of the old fashioned Quaker hat. Low flat hats have in no way lost their popularity. The materials used for Fall in the development. of these picturesque hats are particularly adaptable since the lines are softened Eby the use of tosca net, taffeta and velvet, shirred or put on plain on ex- tended wire The Mandarin model which droops over the face and is
 raised at the back by the means of a left or high bandeau, is very fetch ing and has a great many possibili- ties.
 Wings, paradise, or in fact any high trimming, extends into the air from the center of the hat, at the base of which is shown a finish of fur, vel vet or satin A number of smart, ir- regular models are shown, a great
 many of which are small, either drap- ed of velvet or silk, or the blocked hat of plush or velvet. Plush, by the
 way, is one of the strongest features used in the development of Fall mill linery, and comes in a wide variety of weights and colorings; some of these are known as hatter's, beaver
 or velour plush. While simplicity of trim is noted on many of the smart
 Fall hats, the tendency is slowly but
 surely drifting toward a more detail-
 ed amount of work on the handmade hats. Small collars or bands at the base of the crown, shirred edges and
 many other points, which will develop later in the season, all go to show that the workrooms are coming into 1 their day again.
 The Showing of Fancy. Feathers as a Trimming for Fall Hats.
 There is no end to fancy feathers
 shown for Fall, in a wonderful ar-
 rangement of scolors and designs. Nu- midi and vu1ture are used on many. of the smart Fall hats, most of these 1 being placed directly in the front of the hat and giving the required height. A profusion of wings is an- other feature that we hail with de- light, as it is a well-known fact that a smarter or more excellent trinlz.
 ming for both tailored and dressy; hats is hard to find. Since there are so many substitutes, the loss of the aigrette. which is prohibited in some 1 sections, yet largely used in others, the other side, will not be keenly felt in the prohibited territory, as any of the, aforementioned materials easily fill the need. A peculiar feat
 ure, and one which we are pleased to note, is the fact that this Season inn ports are entirely free from any. ec- centricities of shape or trimming.
 Each Season brings it's styles that must be modified for the American 1 tastes and types of women, so this de- parture from the usual custom is both pleasing and fattering.
 The Colors That Will Obtain in Fall Millinery.
 In regard to colorings, the new | fuchsia shade that one sees great
 deal of, seems. to run through many | of the materials and trimmings used l for Fall. A renewal of the Coque de Roche or burnt orange shade is not | ed, and while white and black, with white predominating bids fair to come | in for a large share of popularity,
 the brighter eolors of. fuchsia and amber, which are worthy of particu- | lar attention, along with royal blue and brown, with touches of gold, all appear to vie with one another for l first place. The time has come when | the selection of colors and styles is ] so varied that the purchaser may use | that which is most becoming and still have a large selection from which to choose any number of hats.-The Mill l lineray Trade Review.
 Ostrich and Fancy Feathers in Fall Millinery.
 l Ostrich feathers are strikingly nov | el. They are used as tall trimmings
 and for flat applications. Ban
 deauX of ostrich with standing plumes attached are made in beautiful conn l bination colors. Tall pompons of | tips and plumes and of combinations of feathers of several sizes are made l to look very new through blendings | of the new shades. Tall effects are l made of many varieties of fancy plu-
 mage, and where aigrettes are pro- 1 hibited there need be no dearth of
 aigrette effects. Paradise, nun1idi
 rhea, pheasant, coque and many oth- CT materials are made into attractive | high trimmings. Wings from the
 rather small to very large are exten- | S1VGlY uS6Q-OI II0 SID61l0T eSlZ6S. S6V- eral pairs are branched one above the other to produce height.
 l Bandeaux of feathers come from one inch to six inches, some even wider and are often comb bined with wings or some egret effect. Butter- | fly cravat designs are made in many l fancy feather materials. Tall effects are made of quills of various sizes in | fancy shapes and new colorings
 l New Flowers For Winter Hats. | It is rather early to see flowers on ] the Fall hats, but manufacturers are l preparing a variety of blossoms in 1 addition to roses and poppies, such 1 as dahlias, camelias, gardenias ane- l mones, wild roses and orchids in nat ! uraI and modish colors-also black i and leaves are being made to go with | them.
 Ornaments And Novelty Trimming

 In gaIloons and ornaments beads l are a factor. There are round, on pIiable frames, sometimes all beads Horn buckles in deep tauDe | color and plain steel buckle with l butterfly attached are seen to advan- ltage, the former in harmony with d plush hat and the other Tn contrast to a sombre color Light gun met al frames with heliotrope stones set off deep prune color velvet to advan- tage The galloons are beaded in | many ways old gold being a. strong
