Sailor shapes, oblong or boat shaped
turbans and tricornes are the leading
small hats, with variation OF trimming.
Fabric and plush covered shapes are In
great variety. Dark colors generally
prevail, but the combinations of two
materials. Of two colors and Of two
shades Of one color, are seen In many
Of the shapes. both trimmed and un-
trimmed.
Many Of the hat trimmings are put
on in the form Of applique-tSt Is.
they are plastered as fat as possible
on the crown or on the brim or over
tapping the edges either Of the crown
or Of the brim. When not appliqued or
fiattened on to the hat the garnitures or
ornaments are placed almost at right
angles to the brim or to the crown.
Among novelties in trimming for be-
tween seasons and early fall are con-
ventional floral motifs. They are un-
usual In coloring and fantastic In out
line. The variety of ornaments in
beaded effects Is almost endless. There
Is a wonderful assortment Of beaded
bands for edging brims Of wide sailors
or Of toQues. There Is also wide as
sortment of small ornaments In the
shape Of birds. lizards, frogs. butter
flies and other insects, small animals,
ETC., which are ready to sew on COW
cred shape. When properly attached
they look as If embroidered by hand
There are also buckles made from
beads and many beaded novelties made
Of cup beads and paillettes or span
giles. The huge jet palette is smart.
The most fashionable fall plumage
| trimming is an immense wing or pair
Of wings intended to trim broad brim-
med hats and extending from the top
of the crown across both sides Of the
brim. Smaller wings are used in sets
Of four or six and are very effective on
large hats of felt. velvet or piece silk.
| Ostrich pompons and jaunty little
stickup effects Of ostrich are used with
crown bands or brim finishes Of ostrich
| fringe or small ostrich tips. Owl heads
are a popular trimming on dress and
tailored hats. Sometimes they are
used with two or more quills shooting
from either side, or they may be posed
over the joining of an ostrich plume or
form the center knot of ribbon bow.
| Hand painted ostrich plumes are
novelty. Particularly interesting are
the pompons or cockades Of ostrich,
designed to be used singly or in gar
lands or bands on large hats. Small
| ornaments in the form of mounted
| tod c.tr e
stripped ostrich. are seen in variety
of styles. Two harmonizing or two
contrasting shades are used together
on one hat,
When flowers are used as trimming
they are chosen to harmonic in color
with some part of the fabric or ma
terial used o. the shape or trimming.
For instance. metal brocades in color
are trimmed with single blossom
which repeats the color of the fabric.
A single large fiat rose is also used in
the same manner as buckle for cen
tering ribbon loop bows. In this case
the flower is in contrast with the rib
mon. Grapes in pure white, in silver.
in steel color and in the natural colors
are used with novelties.
Worsted or crewel embroideries are
another form of millinery ornaments,
especially for misses and children's
hats. Hats of velvet and silk have
their brims decorated with fancy
stitches done in heavy silk or worsted
This embroidery may be merely very
simple geometrical design in simple
long and short stitch or it may be very
intricate needlework. Brim edges fin
ished in buttonhole stitch are smart,
as are trimming bands cut out in round
scallops, Vandyck points or tabs and
buttonholed along the edges. Tassels
of all sorts are among the popular
fancies. dropping from brim edges or
from the center Of crowns.
Children's hats for fall are divided
between two lines. those for very
young children and those for young
girls. The poke and the mushroom are
the two popular shapes for very young
children, while the simple tOque and
the sailor are the leading shapes for
schoolgirls.
The hats for young children, while
not of an elaborate character. are
dressy, being in light colOred velvets
or with illuminating shades in trim
ming. Many little poke hats are faced
with delicate pink or blue. and the
floral trimmings are usually in the
form of small bouquets set in ap-
plique fashion to the brims or crowns
and are in the same delicate co!orinSs.
Some very pretty hats have trim
mings of silk SoutGche and silk taSsels
in contrasting color. For instance, a
navy blue velvet with high crown and
narrow. rolling brim has trimming
of soutache braiding in French blue
and dangling silk tassel of the same
shade. Among the novelties in misses
hats are the sailors with slashed brims
and the toques with pointed trimmings,
