PARIS. August IL. 1913.
The new millinery shows velvet. and
again velvet. Here it is in August and
the Frenchwomen are appearing every
day at the resorts with velvet hats. more
or less large, and all the Americans who
are in Paris are buying them.
The exceedingly small hat is not seen
over here as much as in America. Their
smallness is also of different character.
One sees few large hats In the Old-time
sense of the word. and these are not worn
by smartly dressed women. There is a
fiat sailor in black velvet which has a
regular line around the face. and low
crown which is surrounded with irregular
tucks Of numidi feathers.
While this is worn, it does not look as
fashionable as the hat which has mod
erately high crown and moderately high
brim which stands up for four or five
inches from the hair This hat has been
worn by many well turned-out women
during the last two weeks and it is safe
to say that 1t will be one of the popular
hats in America in October
One hopes that 1t will not be popular in
the sense of every one wearing it, because
it needs a woman who has a great deal of
style to carry it off-a woman who knows
how to pose hat and do a couture. to
say nothing of arranging her neck In an
admirable manner.
The hat and the neck depend SO much
upon each other that it is difficult for
woman who is not careful with one
or the other to make good appearance;
there are certain hats that go with Ger
tain neck draperies, and unless woman
decides on both at the. beginning OF the
season she is apt to be finding fault with
her hat at all times. For instance, every
hat does not go with turned-dOwn col
| lar nor Romney fichu. nor surpice
decolletage And yet when woman
buys one hat for everyday wear ana
changes her neck arrangement all the
| time. she has reason to be dissatisfied
with the way her head looks.

But back to the original subject. which
is the amazing popularity Of velvet hats

just as usual, Jenny Wren was fidgeting
and fussing about, and Jimmy Skunk
grinned as he watched her.
Hello, Jenny Wren.'' said he. What
are you doing here?
I'm resting on my way home from
the old Briar Patch. if you must know,
Jimmy Skunk" replied Jenny Wren,

'Ho, no, ho." laughed Jimmy Skunk.
Do you call that resting: That's joke.
Jenny Wren. Resting. Why. you couldn't
sit still and rest if you tried
Il could so! I'm resting now, so there,

a very indignant tone of voice, and hop

Well. guess the quickest way for me

For the young girl dresses of ratine

satisfactory and smart.
The keynotes Of the successful summer
styles are graceful lines, soft fabrics
and youthful silhouettes.
Fashions eye seems to be centered on
the waist line. 1t should receive much
attention in your planning.
A flight of four fiat bows of black
velvet holds up the draperies of one
| smart gown of eyelet embroidery.
The corsage bouquet is rivaled by wired
loops of velvet ribbon bent into French
bow and placed at the waist line.
One of the recent features in fashion
is the short waist line in front. which
gradually Iengthens toward the back.
Millinery and gowns both borrow some
distinguishing features from the Louis
XIV and Pompadour period.
Metal laces Of the sheer and filmy sort
will rule this fall, gold laces being the
fayorites.
The newest collars on the fall coats are
fastened up high at the neck to allow for
cold weather.
Small fichu ends are added to some of
the new wired collars.
Chamois yellow is one of the colors
seen among girls topcoats.
Nothing equals white chinchilla for the
fashionable sports coats.
Long. smooth handles are the favorites
among summer parasols.
Cubist designs are seen even in some
of the new corset materials.
The black-and-w white combination in
footwear continues TO De hked.
The crown dent is smart feature of
the new felts for country wear.
Gold and green is fast coming to be
one of the favorite combinations.

for evening wraps. such as cloth of sill
yer with silver fringe.
The chief novelty color at this moment
is yellow in all shades
Serge continues to be the great staple
among fall wool materials.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

A few of the new fall evening gowns
that have made their appearance are de-
veloped in taffeta. IL this brings up a
mental picture of the erstwhiie stif1y
rustling silk, dismiss it from your mind
for the new taffetas are quite different.
They are light weight and extremely soft
and p,iable, but of course, being taffeta
the rustic still remains.
Last year when there was such a run
on silks for street wear and dancing
frocks they became common and so lost
the prestige that virtually belongs to them
until they were practically eliminated
from the lists. But now that the limp and
more supple weaves nave appeared.
strangely enough taffeta has become
much more desirable as a material for
dainty evening wear.
Without the softening effect of chiffon

me corsage is of the chiffon over a white

with kimono sleeve and surpliced front

POPULARITY OF VELVET HATS

immense popularity for velvet gowns
next winter. and every straw shows the
wind blowing from that direction
One always thinks of large hats in
connection with velvet, but that idea
must be gotten out of the brain this
season. 1t is true that all the shapes
are larger than they were, but the size
comes in the circumference of the entire
hat and not in the brim alone.
There is a shape that l have seen every
day since l got here which is made in
straw and trimmed with ribbon, and 1t
Will be repeated In velvet here and in
America. The crown is high and straight
and rather large, and it spreads out into
a deep brim that goes well down over
the ears and the back of the neck, roll

whether it is of straw or velvet. One
does not see any ostrich feathers on the
hats worn by the women, but they are
to be seen here. and there in the shops
on small velvet hats that do not appear
to have much style about them.
1t is amazing how tenaciously the hat
holds that has a tan crown and a
slightly rolling brim with small brush
at the side. You may remember when
the hat came out-a year ago-and yet
here it is again, with a white plush
crown. white satin brim and a white
or black brush. although the tendency
is strong toward keeping hat all black
or all white.
The velvet hat of the late summer in
America is repeated in Paris every day.
1t was worn at the shore by American
girls with short white skirts and sport
coats; but over here it is being worn in
the afternoon for tea at the Chateau de
Madrid and the Pre-Catelan by women
who have on formal gowns of white
satin or crepe de chine with half-low
decolletage.

that way and make Peter Rabbit call. >
He found Peter in a sweet clover patch
just outside the old Briar Patch, and il
struck Jimmy that Peter looked uncom-
monty happy. He said as much.
Il am, replied Peter. before he
thought. Then he added. hastily: You
see. I've been uncommonly happy ever
since / returned with Mrs. Peter from
the Old Pasture
But / hear there's great news over
here in the old Briar Patch" persisted
Jimmy Skunk. What is it, Peter?"
Peter pretended to be very much sur
prised. Great news!" he repeated.
Great news! Why, what news can there
be over here? Who told you that?'
"A little bird told me. replied Jimmy
slyly.
1T must have been Jenny Wren.'' said
Peter, once more speaking before he
thought.
Then there is. news over here.' cried
Jimmy. triumphantly. What is it,
Peter?'
But Peter shook his head as if he
hadn't the slightest idea, and couldn't
imagine. Jimmy cOaxed and teased, but
all in vain. and finally he started for
home no wiser than before.
Just the same, l believe that Jenny
Wren told the truth. and that there is
news over in the old Briar Patch,' he
muttered to himself Something has
happened over there. and Peter won't tell.
l wonder what it can be?''
