THE HoLIDAYoKE Co.
Fall millinery of striking beauty
/ and elegance is seen at the Holiday
oke Company millinery parlors. The
styles are practical, nothing too ex-
| treme. but designed along lines to in
sure becomingness. Nothing has been
| spared that would help to make the
display more elaborate. and no time
has been too valuable to spend in
gathering ideas. All in all it is a
/ collection of hats on par with those
shown in the most exclusive shops.
The newest in colors, the choicest
of black and white effects, the very
latest note in trimming arrangements,
fancy ostrichs, mercury wings rib
bons. novelty aigrettes, not one wcr-
thy feature is missing. The prices are
moderate and will suit all buyers.
The showing includes AL the smart
and exclusive large and small shapes.
A pretty hat for young girl was
combination of blue MORE and black
velvet facing. The broad effect was
carried out with feather band and
two large black wings. Flowers for
the fall hats make a very effective
trimming. A large rolling beaver
had coronet of shaded Magenta roses
and velvet foliage.
Small bouquets of colored yelvets
and pushes were seen for the older
folks, and We're trimmed with aigrettes
feather bands and wings. Chill
dren's hats of all descriptions are dis
played and one will not find much
trouble in selecting hat for the little
ones.
One model seen was large black
silk plush hat rolled at one side with a
graceful band of black and white os-
trich, finished with a large French
plume at the side back, which carried
out the black and white effect, anc is
very poprler, was becoming and sty-
lish.
Another beautiful black velvet hat
had facing of Van Dyke lace, it's only
trimming was large white weeping
aigrette, caught with large white
roses, which was smart shape. The
latest idea is 90 wear the trimming
underneath this style, which was
shown in a silk plrsh and velvet COM
bined, the feathers falling gracefully
on the hair and fastened with blue
velvet flowers.

prevailing color (black and white not
considerably This is dark gray, and
