Miss E. n. WooIley.

Miss +. VI. W00lley.
Autumn leaves, golden rod and
bright yellow and red dahlias marked
the floral decorations at Miss Flora
NJ. Woolley's millinery parlors in the
Arundel Building, West street and
Church Circle, where, from an early
hour this morning until shutdown, all
roads seemed to lead. Miss Woolley
has taken pains to select varied
shapes, becoming to all faces, and
there is variety of color seen in the
velvets. pushes. silks, etc, used IN
the stylishly trimmed hats
| One thing that marked Miss Wool
| ley's hats was they are hats comfort
able to wear, and comfortable hat
means everything The most con-
sumate artist in hat building has
| missed the point when she fails to
make a hat fit comfortably the wear
er's head
Hats heavy on the head are not
popular. Weight is oppressive.
The COlOrs.
| There is such a variety of colors
that it is difficult to name them. In
| the grays there is the mouse. rat, the
l.ickel gray, the slate. The greens
| include the lettuce, shamrock, alfal-
ia, and the puppies are chiefly the
Lobelia and Elderberry. while the
reds include the gladeolas, red cross,
peony, May rose, azalea, and in the
| golden shades are seen the burnt
wood, mahogany, ranging to golden
brown.
The Fancies.
Not a great many ornaments are
seen, and but few flowers Burnt
goose is a prominent new feather,
and there is some burnt ostrich. Not
many flowers are seen in the newest
hats, and the few flowers are of
Chinese origin. The burnt goose and
burnt ostrich feathers, however, have
! not completed their popularity at
this time. Much applique is noticed
ir the trimmings One attractive hat
was of black velvet with soft full
crown, faced with pink panue vel
vet, and its only ornament, a burnt
goose feather on the left side.
| A taupe Toque, with corded crown,
piped band and soft satin band. was
chic and becoming.
The Blues.
This seasons blues include the flag
blue, the honey bird blue. and the
duck and Japan blue, while the
browns are shaded to deeper lines of
the thrush and the wren. In fan
cies, the magpie wing is very popular,
and the fancy motifs are seen again
this season In trimmings there are
ribbon bows, airgrettes and what-not,
that delight the eye and please the
fancy.
Among the handsome hats shown
was a small toque in royal purple
velvet with high crown, with narrow
folds on brim and crown, appliqued
with sprig of flowers and leaves in
hatter's plush
A handsome black velours hat with
embroidered brim, faced with pink
panue velvet, soft crown, with burnt
goose formed at side crown trim
ming, was very dressy and becom-
ing.
A hat band and a perky little
feather do not signify a trimmed
lat" Chic is the sports hat,
piquant the Tam-o-Shanter. and the
travelling hat is neat and womanly,
hut the real browning glory OF a we'll
gowned, well groomed woman on oc-s
casions. is paramount, and not utility
or comfort, but is the trimmed hat, the
really trimmed hat

the travelling hat, the general utility
