MILLINERY FOR FALL
SOME SPECULATION AS TO THE
COMING STYLES.
X Would Seem That Nothing Has
Been Absolutely Determined az to
Whether the Small or the Large
Hat is to Rule.

Society at large has been watching
the development of fall millinery
fashions with 80 much interest that
the debut of every model has been
awaited with much anxiety as well as
excitement
Numerous rumOrs and conflicting
opinions declare for the continuance
Of the small styled hats permitted to
endure in new and ravishing shapes.
Absolutely new, declares every wit
ness. and, numerically In the ascend
ency, agree onlookers.
Nevertheless, leading milliners,
whose small hats enchant one with
the daintiness OF their chic and the
smartness Of their design, are issuing
wide-brimmed hats Of black velvet,
with here and there gray or dark
brown shape of this material
The velvet crowned hat, with wide
ly curving brim of Illusion, chiffon or
lace, has been worn for a month
Watchful persons have greeted this
style without the flicker of an eyelid
Of interest. But when the velvet
brimmed hat appeared In one of the
Georgette sailor effects, brandishing
sweeping plumes of paradise for a
trimming, and when Lewis almost du-
p1cates the shape with bushy aigrettes
for a trimming fantasy, then the pa
tfent ones whose business it Is to her
aid the approach of a new vogue, be-
gan to show signs of excitement The
discussion of a new vogue is on
In the main and for the present,
the small hat of velvet, high-crowned
and simplify trimmed, is enjoying a
most f1attering popularity.
The shepherdess hat of velvet is in
the fashionable offing, continuing it's
vogue of the summer but along new
lines
Picturesque modes offer large
crowns Of velvet to which are affixed
wide undulating brims of the same
material which narrow over the face,
but broaden considerably at the sides
and extend in pointed fashion over the
hair at the back
Trimmings for these shapes are sim
pie In the extreme. Single flower eff
fects, made of velvet and with their
natural size greatly exaggerated are
effectively placed with bit of foliage
In color rather than In the natural
green's which one expects to see ac-
company them.

are made in various soft shades OF

A green centerpiece for the table

not injured. Place a number of the

cover them with water. After this

and SO accumulates to clog the wheels
This debris acts as foreign matter.
During the last half of life less food
Is required and each individual, IL
good health Is maintained must study
his own system to know just what Is
required without leaving a dangerous
waste to disturb the machinery
The eating habit is one which Is
fully as bad to overcome as any other
Incorporate habit. The first requisite
then, for the aged especially, is to
guard against over-indulgence.
Another important point is to select
such foods as are easy of mastica-
ton, and avoid tough and ffbrous
foods. Milk is a valuable food for the
aged In any form. II 1t seems to dis
agree 1t should be tried in various
ways before it is given up. 1t Is the
nearest TO a perfect food we have as
it more nearly resembles the blood
than any Of our foods.
The aged often find a condiment of
some nature an agre cable help in d.
gestion. Junket, custards and soft
cooked egg dishes with milk make
easy assimilated food which should
be used largely in the menu.
A large proportion OF those extreme
ly aged will find 1t better to eat a
light meal four or Ave times day
rather than the ordinary three meals.

Of old age, insomnia, glass of warm
milk or Cruel on retiring or on awak-
ing in the night will often prove very
effective in producing sleep.
Buttermilk and koumis are other
forms OF milk which are especially
good for both old and young when
the digestive apparatus needs extra
care.

Larger hats are gradually making

The girdle of Roman striped ribbon
Is still worn
The diamond cut in oval shape is
