NEW FELT HATS FOR SUMMER
Sole Trimming Consisting of TinseI
Cord Worn by Army Officers Adds
Glitter of War.

There is no doubt that we are going
to glitter and gliSten this year as did
the fighters of the tenth and eleventh
centuries, advises a style expert. The
milliners have blazed the way for this,
for, as the student of dress we'll knows,
one can build up a rather good pro-
gram Of new fashions for gowns and
wraps by what the milliners exploit
In head coverings.
And when you see new felt hats ex-
plotted on all sides, with their sole
trimming consisting of the tinsel cord
worn by American officers, you will
realize that the glitter of war is to be
put into the autumn costumery.
Felt hats, by the way, are very
smart for summer. They may keep
away the incoming velvet hat which
leaves US In February, when 1t Is need
ed and comes back the first Of July,
when 1t is undesirable.
The felt hat of the hour is white,
oyster, beige, black and yellow and is
trimmed with masses of flowers ar
ranged In a wreath around the crown.
When the hat is for sports, for coun-
try or for travelling, it has the tinsel
cord Of the American captain.

Rev. William Z. Barton tells Of a
rather disconcerting incident of his
early ministry.

slon," he says; "a general memorial

point in my discourse where I quoted

UndersIips Are Important.

With the coming vogue of organdie
and other excessively sheer fabrics,
such as net and chiffon. the question
of an attractive and at the same time
efficient underslip TO be worn with
frocks of these materials is of impor-
lance While there are any number
of lovely lingerie slips provided for
this purpose, more favor seems to be
accorded TO silk slips either in solid
color or in n printed design. IN
doubtedly the solid and glistening tex
ture OF the silk foundation accentuates
the lovely transparency of the outside
fabric.

Smart Ridinu Costumes.

Some of the girls who ride horseback
are wearing natty costume patterned
after the uniform of the royal British
flyers. Trim, tall boots are drawn up
over neatly fitting riding breeches, and
a smart coat with fiaring skirt falls al
most TO the knee. To add to its flare,
the coat has box plat down the
front, the fastening coming in the CEN
ter of the Dlait. There are huge plait-
ed fap-pockets above the belt. Small
pockets just below the belt, and large,
deep pockets near the edge of the
coat, and leather Sam Browne belt
or its feminine OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in

worn by the royal British flyers ac-

WAR AND COQUETRY
SOME SMALL FASHION FACTS
Trench Helmets Made Of Tin Are
Worn at Summer Resorts-High-
Necked Frocks.

The trench helmets made Of tin are
not becoming, but American women
have followed the British in using
them at summer resorts.
London and Paris have designed
curfew hats and America will soon
make use of the name and the de-
signs. 1t would not be amiss for US to
keep our own picturesque Puritan
fashions of New England. We know as
much Of the curfew as Great Britain,
and more than Paris. We do not have
the signal for flights out" In this
country, but we can go in for curfew
clothes just the same. The pointed
hat, the square-toed shoes with the
silver buckle and the long. ripping
capes fit I'm with the silhouette Of the
hour.
Daylight-saving dinners have brought
out vast amount of transparent but
high-necked frocks. These are made
of tulle usually combined with some
glittering metallic cloth. The whole
upper part of the body is covered with
the tulle, and long sleeves have sud-
denly acquired a place of power.

erent countries to wear white gloves.
They are taboo in England and France,
and American women are beginning to
see the wisdom and economy of this
fashion.
Tan, brown and any shade Of beige
are considered the proper thing. Even
white wash gloves are not considered
as fashionable as the others. Economy
Is creating style of its own in every
land. BY common consent, evening
gloves have practically disappeared in
the belligerent countries. France has
always hated them, England can't af-
ford them, and soon America will
abandon them. 1t may be that long,
wrinkled sleeves will take their place
entirely.

There are certain types of women

should never attempt clothes taken
from the bazaars of Delhi, the Assyri-
