Baby was not forgotten today in
the stylish display of fall and winter
millinery at the annual autumn open
ing held by the Holidayoke Company
at their Main street parlors.
/ There were tiny bonnets for the
baby. edged with dainty ermine;
there were beautiful sacques, socks,
leggings and other prettily made
dainty apparel for baby's ward
robe" besides the attractive things
things for grown-up folks.
Miss Devereaux, the Head Milliner
for the Holidayoke Company, has
spared no pains in the various selec-
tions of her trimmed hats, in the
shape and color. and especially in the
stylish arrangement of the trimming.
Some of the hats suggest the old
fashioned" styles coming in vogue
again, for now and then one sees a
black ostrich plume, or an arrange
ment of trimming that recalls the
styles of some years ago when these
were popular.
The COlOrs.
Again purple has come into its own
and there is evidence of a popular
purple season. Taupe is also one of
the stylish colors, as we'll as the ever
present black, and black and white,
also Burgundy, and Copenhagen blue.
Some fur is used on hats, but not so
much as last season.
The Shapes.
Shapes are about as usual They
may vary in the droop of the brim,
or the flare, but there is the same old
sailor, the same old Tam o. Shanter
the same old Gainsborough and pic
ture hat that there has been for years
and years 1t is the arrangement of
the trimming that makes the style
appear different.
To be sure, there are a great many
soft crowns this year That is. the
velvet is draped or arranged in soft
folds about the crown of the hats,
and but few plain crowns are seen.
Soft crowns, however do not indicate
a soft head lies beneath them.
Some few plumes are used and
small ostrich tips. The newest thing
in feathers. however, is the burnt
goose" Legendary lore has it that
burnt child breads the fire." but is
silent on the burnt goose PROPOSE
ton
The Materials.
Very little change is seen this year
in the materials that go to make up
the stylish fall and winter hats.
Velvet is as popular as even. and
there is the velours and panne vel
vets, also beaver. A touch of gold or
silver is seen now and then, but this
could not be called a metal season, or
a military season even If among the
hats shown was one the exact shape
of the regulation army hat with
pointed crown, straight lines and
brim, with a metal wing in front as
the only ornament to its severeness.
beautiful hat in turquois blue with
a band of burnt goose around the
crown, and wreath of silver leaves,
was among the stylish hats at the
opening 1t was of the large sailor
shape with brim faced with black to
give it a French touch.
A poke shape in apricot satin, with
high crown surmounted by folds Of
the silk, and dropping brim of black
velvet, with tiny spray of rosebuds
in gold and silver. was quite stylish
and becoming.

pons of feathers, and handsome vel

serted in the brim, and crushed vel

An entire green Misses hat and a
gold velvet sailor with brim edged
with ostrich feathers, its only trim

A hat in maroon velvet, with a
touch of gold, and a maroon bird. was
a pretty hat for child, also blue

child.
Most of the children's hats ARE in
the poke shape, and one especially
pretty was in black velvet, faced with
pink, with small pink ostrich tips
mingled with blue for-get-me-not
around the crown, and graceful black
velvet streamers.

soft white tulle crown, through which
the hair is seen, black velvet brim

plume is caseaded, was a dream of
