indeed has been photographed for you
in connection with this chat about the
coming millinery. The pose of this
big sailor is very graceful. the brim
rising in curling sweep on ono side
and swoopinE down over the eye and
cheek on the opposite side. The sailor
Is made of black velvet and n new
note is added in the trimming of Jet
sequins which overlap each other all
around the edge of the brim and form
a double cocade Mt the front of the
crown. The nccksCarf of snowy white
fox fur adds to the suggestion of chic
in the poise Of this big sailor.
Still another sailor, this one from
n Fifth avenue milliner shows the
new upcurled hrim in which rests
trimming of hedFelike striped ostrich.
Though rather stiff and uncompro-
missing in line for any but youthful
wearer, this hat Is distinctly smart and
predicts q favored mode for fall. The
hedge of ostrich IS a much sought
after trimming and indeed all wings
and feather ornaments have spiky
tendency. Across small toQue of
black velvet from Louison, are poised
sharp pointed swallows pinions, the
thicker ends of the wings overlapping
at the center while the long points
sweep outward and upward, AS though
the pointed effect was not definite
enough. tuft of long, spiky aigrettes
rises from the center of the arrange
ment.
Metal Ornaments And Ribbons.
Probably because of military influ-
ence on millinery, glittering orna-
ments are in great favor just now.

SUMMER BEDSPREADS.

The printed cotton bedspreads in con-
ventionalized border designs cost a
tribe more than plain white spreads
but are very attractive in summer
bedrooms where moro gaiety of color
and less dignity and elegance than
the winter bedroom demands, are de-
sirahle. A really good white Mar

Several things make the eyes beauti-

cheekbones, the thickness of tho
lashes and the sweep of the eyebrows.
Some of these things we cannot
change, whatever our will to do so,
but there are many things that can
be done to give greater beauty to the
eyes.

this sort. from Leontine, is of black

black This hat is in the high

the Puritan sailor IA very fashionable
new shape for autumn. The brim and
crown band are of pontine with the
black velvet side out; the waxed side
is exposed on top of the crown and
around the brim goes a band of the
white, with lacings of cord at front
and back. This hat, most effective
item in a trousseau ordered for early
autumn. will accompany a tailored
frock of black broadcloth, stitched
with rows and rows of white silk In
the new fashion, and having a roll
collar and cuffs of white soiree silk.
Contincntals For Fall.
Women who look their best in saucy
tricorne shapes will be glad to know
these hats are to be very good next
season. Some of the most attractive
new Paris shapes are continentals-
tricornes and bicornes. chiefly with
the outline not too pronounced but
with that fascinating irregularity that
makes the continental so becoming
since il may be adjusted to suit the
face. From Lewis is a new continen-
tai in faile silk; navy and the new
soft gray which harmonizes with navy
particularly well. The crown and up
per brim are of gray faille and the
under brim, rising abruptly all around
from an inch wide band, Is of navy
velvet The narrow band sets well
over the forehead, touching the eye
brows, as most of the new hats are
worn. Hair dressings grow higher and
higher, the locks being built on top
of the head in big, soft puffs; so hats
tilt forward rather than back and hide
the forehead almost completely, en-
posing the waves Of coiffure At back
and sides. This effect IS very pro-
nounced in two of the French hats
pictured. one of these hats, from
Virot. is of black velvet with n mar
row black lace veil draped from the
hrm and made into a wired bow
across he back; the other model. from
Talbot, is Of black velvet and white
coque, with a touch of jet at one side.
The Virot hat is striking because of
its mammoth crown and the peculiar
adjustment of the lace veil. In real
! ity. the hat is not as small as the big
crown makes it appear; without the
| crown. the shape would appear as a
broad hrim sailor of average dimcn-
sions but of course the large crown
throws the hrm into insignificance.
The low set OF the hat on the head,
with the eyes peering out from under
the deep brim and narrow curtain
Of lace, gives an effect of mystery
that IS rather captivating.

Crowns are the thing in the new
hats for autumn. Paris has evident

balloon crown Is perhaps the most
striking. This crown bells up from
the hat as though inflated with air
lin reality there is a stiffening ma
terial, crinoline, or something of the
sort. under the velvet or silk that
forms the balloon). Caroline Reboux
has brought out a very striking model
OF this type. the hat of changeable
green taffeta, with a trimming band
OF little green wings entirely around
the crown. The brim, which tits
coquettishly up a one side and down
at the other, is covered with the
green taffeta; then comes straight,
sailor-like crown about three inches
high. covered with tucked green tat
feta. Instead Of being fiat across the
top. this crown bulges Cor "bells'D
up to form the balloon effect, and
the band Of little green wings is set
at the Joining line of straight crown
and balloon top.
The balloon crown IS shown in an
other guise--a turban called the art
lists cap-pictured on today's page.
The balloon in this case is draped a
little, or rather denied in here and

made of biscuit tinted felt over a Sus-
tanning stiffening fabric. a smartly

ends, is tucked under the crown in
