ting of the chic little chappeauN.
Extreme simplicity is the keynote OF
all the newest millinery in the tailor
ed models for fall and the change in
style is most exemplifed by the rich
distinctive fabrics which are used
The new shades are Russia Green,

brilliant Burnt Orange and the soft
deep shades of taupe, mole, etc, show
To especial advantage in the new fab
rics, such as Ear Cloth, soft and

afternoon and evening gowns was
most elaborate. Black and white is
more popular than ever before as well
as the all black costume of soft lus-

fascinating with their Opaque petit

New York Store Displays Charming
Designs in Millinery, Goats,
and Suits.

Never has the New York store
opened the fall season with a more
lovely and up-to-date array of mill
inery, suits and coats, etc, than un-
der the management OF Mrs. Quinn
this fall and the popular store is fill
ed with an unusually attractive dis
play of fascinating feminine wear
In the millinery department, still pre-
sided over by Miss Jennie Blair, the
new hats are perfect dreams of every
thing that is attractive and new in
style, and extremely artistic, and they
are almost without exception, gem
orally becoming to all faces. Clever
models from the famous French ar
lists are shown and are wonderfully
elegant in their simplicity and rich
ness of design and fabric. Little bon
net-shaped models of plush and velvet
are trimmed simply, with little fiat
chinnille flowers, or with a single
curling feather fantasie, fastened
with a tailored bow. The English
sailor of plush or yelours with wide
band of ribbon velvet fastened with
a pleating, is the last note of tailored
perfection. The tam-o' -shanter hat
is shown in bewitching form. made of
grey moire with scarlet wing on the
side, but the little snug fitting plush
ana mole shapes are the fayorites
with tiny touch of color and a
handsome fancy feather in just the
right place. In yelvets, pannes, and
moires, with small, dainty, upourling
brims, failing gracefully from front
to back and trimmed at the back with
osprey. High wings etc, the New
York store is to be heartily congratu-
lated upon its attractive showing of
everything smartIn millinery.
Still more attractive if possible, is
the display of top coats and suits and
afternoon and evening dresses in the
glass cases, in splendid variety and
exquisite models for all occasions.
Essentially smart and tasteful in ap-
pearance, embodying all of the new
est ideas and with the essential cor
rect line" of the new draped effects,
there is a wide variety from which
tC choose most attractive costume
Tor the coming season. Noticeable in
the suitings and heavy coats are the
velours stuffs, which show a rough
appearance but are soft and adapt
able. The new coats still have the
long lines, but there are no two ex-
aetly alike and the designs are un-
usually graceful, with the draped
skirts and semi-iltting coats. The
exquisite evening dresses and dane
ing frocks and the handsome and at
tractive gowns for afternoon wear
are equally lovely and it will be an
easy task for anyone to plan their
winter outfit after going through the
store with its smart array for fall
and winter wear
