undefinable angle which would allure
the very gods of Olympus to turn
and look. The tam" crown may be
draped and choued at the side may
be big gathered puff or again may
be shaped in sections. Some of the
very smartest and newest French
auto caps are fashioned after this
style, and one which has recently
come from a speciality shop on the
Rue Royale is made of purple taffeta
shaped in six cores forming a wide
tam that may be tilted to either side,
to the front or the back, a jaunty
and soft head covering that clings
against the wind and looks pretty in
deed tied under the auto veil.
The Jockey Cap Fad.
But the millinery that is creating
the stir in the city of fashions, quite
the newest and the prettiest of any
thing that has SO far appeared for
fall-another borrowing, by the way,
from the head gear Of the masculine
persuasion-and that is the visor
effect. just like the visor of a jockey
cap, unusually snappy and giving

is essential to the stylish hat of the
year. This jockey cap idea has been
made especially striking in the French
tailored models and adds the most
happy touch to the more mannish of
the tailored suits-that Is they are as
mannish as can be in this period when
styles are over-feminized.
1t is not always essential that the
upper part of the cap be in rounded
jockey shape, though an unusually
dashing model that was recently inn
ported for the fall trousseau of a
western heiress, was possessed of the
decided jockey cap characteristics,
even to the stiff backward sloping
crown. Again these little eye-shading
visors give the finishing touch to
dressy little affairs that may be worn
with the fluffy afternoon frock
Eccentricity of design goes hand in
hand with simplicity of trimming. the
becomingness and the style of the hat
depending on its posing on the head,
rather than on a loading of decora-
tive materials. And in many cases it
is well that it is simple for all the
dash possible in millinery Is given by
the extreme slenderness of the added
ornament a dash that would be en-
tirely lacking in a mass of over-top-
ping trimming. For this reason we
find Paris holding tenaciously to her
beloved aigrettes, numidie and goura,
while quilts, and towering fancies of
ostrich and coque, flaunt skyward
from the back. front or side of the
tiny shapes that hold them, some
times seeming to over top them.
Ribbons and Velvet and Bit of
Maline
But with all the favor for feather
trimmings in tall Outstanding orna-
ments on the little hats of the mo-
ment, the revival of ribbon trimmings
is coming in very strong in the land
of Paris hats, in fact. quite the new
est sort of fancies are made of rib
bons, tall loops. big butterfly bows,
and tiny touches. This revival of rib
bons will be welcomed here in Amer
lea where there is SO decided liking
for graceful effects, as we'll as for the
dash that is really American. Often
among these first prophetic chapeaux
of the season there will be seer one
that carries out the entire trimming
scheme in a fancy ribbon; while again
just bit of a bow will be posed on a
plain surface to give softening har-
monious effect in keeping with the
