Praise woman for her common
lense and she will be annoyed, praise
her for her taste in hats and she will
be ever your friend" So declared
the old philosopher, and whatever
exaggeration there may be in his
cynical remark the fact remains that
hats are ever dear to the feminine
heart. and fashions in headgear
change more swiftly than fashions in
any other part of Milady's costume.
Autumn hats this year offer an
odd contrast to one another since
the a1l-white hats of taffeta satin or
cloth tend towards very small, close
fitting shapes. while the all-black hat
that is equally popular and fashion
able Is wide of brim and larger of
shape than for some seasons.
Whatever the size, however. the
black hats and the white hats have
one thing in common, and that is
effects IN COG, hack1es and burnt
ostrich feathers are all seen, while
high loops of ribbon and erect bows
of tulle fastened to the top OF the
crown all aid in making the hats
very tall, thus lending a number of
inches to even the short woman.
So far the early autumn hats are
all white, all black, or combination
of the two, very few colors being
shown except in the ribbon trim
mings of the fur hats, but since black
and white is universally becoming
this maybe season will be welcomed
by most women.

Al1-white hats trimmed with white
peacock feathers are fad in Paris
just now, carrying out the note of
white introduced by the rolling. col
while some of the smart a11-black
hats are trimmed with tall quilts
which are black on one side and
silver on the other, being painted SO
( that they remain stiff and shiny:
These quilts trim a number OF the
new velvet sailors which are a fea-
ture of the autumn millinery. They
have slightly faring brims and wide
low crowns with the quilts going
smart1y up at one side, or crossed
in the front to exaggerate the width
of the hat. The tricorne hat is also
having revival this autumn carried
out in taffeta or velvet, the white
ones being especially stunning and
attractive for the young girl, while
the woman whose face is too broad
for the narrow hat to prove beconn-
ing will welcome with delight the
return of the broad brimmed satin hat
with its crush crown and bow of
tulle or sweeping feather. These
satin hats are almost picture hats
and offer a strong contrast to the
turbans which fit closely to the head
and with their outstanding feathers
look as high and narrow as Cleo
patra,s needle.

One smart model in this fashion
recently noted in Paris was of

shown abroad was of black satin
with a narrow transparent brim of
wired tulle-a little on the order of
the halo hats of last season-but
sweeping up at the sides into wings

crown to the hat. Still another at
tractive all-black model was rather
wide brinmed and low crowned
with huge bow of tulle on top of
the crown that fell almost TO the
