One thing about the hats this season
that stands out in bold relief is their
inexpensiveness. Unless it be that the
material is costly. there is nothing
about the hats this autumn to make
their price soar skyward. There isn't
even any indication of skyward tend
| encies in trimming. as. like the cost
| tha-, too, is rather low and fiat.
AT the millinery opening today and
| the display of stylish hats in the shop
| of Mrs. j. NJ. Strange. a variety of ex-
| tremely smart millinery was exhibited.
Yon pay your money and take your
| choice between a large or small hat, a
turban or mushroom shape. or a Gains
borough and broad brim sailor. The
size of the hat is altogether a matter
| of taste.and its color a mater of choice.
White and black, and black and white
seem to be predominant, and while
there is a touch of fur on nearly every
nat. there is variety of browns. .grays,
wisterias petunia shades to choose
from. But there are really more black
hats than anything else.
The storm today did not deter wo-
men i'm large numbers from visiting the
millinery opening They broved the
downpour of rain and a strong east
gale, undaunted. even il carrying an
umbrella was at intervals almost an
impossibility. Macintoshes were the
order of the day. and one thing TO be
marked is there were no white shoes
worn by those who attended the open
ing, and few white dresses.
Although things were desolate and
drear outside, all was bright and
CHEEKY within the millinery parlors.
Large palms nodded gracefully at
beautiful ferns and scarlet dahlias gave
a touch of warmth and color to the
scene. While you cannot always tell
book by its cover. you cant frequently
tell the contents of a store by the shop
windows. The window at the j. NJ
Strange millinery shop. today was a
symphony m black and Write. and was
most attractive in its simplicity and
elegance that marked all within
