FALL AND WINTER HATS

They're here-the newest, latest,
most stylish things to adorn the head
Of mi-lady. They are Of different
shapes and colors and they are pretty.
Whether they re prettier than those
Of the preceding fall Is a question
which numerous ladies who have been
looking around, must answer. But
anyway, they are pretty. Trimmings
this year, 1t is said, will be mostly OF
black and white and gold material.
Many fancy feathers as well as ostrich
feathers, will adorn the headdress Of
women. Fashion has so decreed!
AS was the case last spring, the con-
fict in Europe has given new creations
to the millinery world. Some Of EN-
are being called "battleship hats"
some are known as ~"aeroplane hats"
(indeed they do give the impression
n.y. and there is another pretty thing
which the millinery experts call the
KAISER" after that man Of Germany
who glories in plumes and uniforms.
The above dope" concerning the
latest in fall and winter millinery wis
cleaned during a visit to the millinery
parlors Of the Kirkpatrick Belk Co.,
yesterday morning. The initial show
ing of fall and winter millinery adver-
tised to take place yesterday, today
and tomorrow, was well under way, q
number of ladies being in the store at
the time looking at the many pretty
creations which were on exhibition.
Many ladies have visited the store OF
fln LTirl, no . ~ Dlr Dali NJ fnHoU ond
many others are expected to drop in
tomorrow. The management stated
that a number Of hats had been sold
and that there were prospects Of other
sales.
The Kirkpatrick Belk company has
a new milliner this season-Miss Ella
Wilson Of New York, and she Is being
assisted in the conduct Of the millinery
department Of the store by Mrs. Orion
Perry Of Lakeland, Fla, and Miss
Annie Bludworth Of this place, who has
been in the employ Of the Kirkpatrick
Belk Co., for several years past, and Is
we'll known to the trade.
When a representative Of The En-
quirer called yesterday morning, Miss
Wilson exhibited a number Of pretty
creations. The leading colors this
year, she said, would be Russian green,
purple, tete de negre (the representa-
tive didn't know what that was), black
and white. More fur trimming Is to
be used this fall than last; flowers will
be popular and there will be numerous
ornaments in tassels and beads on the
hats of the ladies' Of this section. Two
kinds Of crowns are in vogue this sea-
son-the Kurzman row which is
soft with a cord through the center,
and the French shirred crown. There
will be few hats Of large shape shown
at this store. Most Of them will be
medium although there will be mum
bers Of turbans in evidence. Wells will
be worn extensively and among the
most popular will be the new French
draped veil which falls just below the
eyes from the edge Of the hat brim.
Were the reporter to describe all
the beautiful hats he was shown at the
store Of the Kirkpatrick Belk Co..
yesterday morning. all the columns OF
The Enquirer would be utilized and this
issue could appropriately be termed
Millinery Edition." One Of the pref
tiest Of the many pretty creations seen
was a small black sailor with a high
crown and q pretty coque feather at
the back. 1t was adorned with Jet
beads and was covered with a square
veil which fell loosely down. The
shape was Of medium size. The hat
is called the kaiser"
Another hat on exhibition at the
store is known as a German hat. It
is Of medium size. The shape Is plain
and Is covered with brown velvet. The
crown Is soft and Of medium size.
A fur and silver ornament adorns the
left side. There is a cord Of beads
around the base Of the crown and
around the brim.
Tha go arnn1onn hofp MO pni1nh ad-
mired by several ladies present. 1t Is
of black velvet Of medium shape and
is turned at the back and Is trimmed
with an ostrich fancy plume and bead
ed ornaments. Another war creation
exhibited was the "battleship turban,"
an odd looking hat Of black, trimmed
with novelty bead ornaments with
sunburst shirring and a long sail Of
black velvet. A Japanese hat Of black
velvet, with a jet bird on the front
was said by the milliner to be n Of
the nobbiest, newest things to be worn
this season.
Explanations Of delight by visitors
were occasioned by the sight of a
medium sized hat Of Russian green
with a soft crown and a a dyke edge
terfly Of light green. A black velvet
sailor with a soft crown with a brim
embroidered in gold and trimmed with
a black ostrich fancy with ~feelers, was
much admired. Another pretty crea-
ton was what Is known as the 'bendel
hat" 1t is Of tete de negre with
a binding Of old rose embroidered In
silver. The sides Of the crown are
shirred, the top is soft. The lower
brim Is Of old rose chin chin and It Is
trimmed with an ostrich pom poE1.
Several ladies thought a large sail
or with fancy scalloped underbrim one
of the prettiest hats shown. The top
