With ferns and golden rod, autumn
leaves and cosmos used in the deco
rations at the millinery parlors of
the Hollidayoke. Company, suggestive
of the season, autumn and winter hats
in a variety of shapes and colors. were
displayed today to the admiration of
many ladies.
From early morning until late aft
ernoon the popular Main street mil
linery parlor was crowded and try
ing-on" hats was the thing of the
day.
Colors are more subdued this sea-
son, and the shades and tints lean to-
ward the sombre rather than the loud
and gay. possibly because of the grave
war conditions. The leading colors
are reindeer. brown, beaver. black,
of course, and a sprinkling of pecan
blue, Belgian blue and artillery red.
The ostrich feather has at last,
again come into its own After hav-
ing been relegated to the bandbox or
the cedar chest for years, the ostrich
feather is "the" thing this season,
with a capital T. Materials vary.
There are satins. beaver, panne vel
vets and silks.
Shocking, so fashionable thirty
years ago. is again in popular favor,
and many hats have silks and satins
shocked around the crown, and often
when the brim rolls the facing is
shocked.
A number of very attractive stylish
hats were shown, one was a close
fitting turban of artillery red velvet,
whose only ornament was an ostrich
spider" or pom-pom of black ostrich
feathers.
A large hat of dark brown velvet
with a blending shade of reindeer
color ostrich plume. either side as
it's only ornament, was very stylish
Another large nat, in plum shade vel
vet, with tiny touch of silver and
plum ostrich plume found ready sale.
One of the shocked" hats was OF
black silk panne velvet crown, rolled
at the back, the facing shocked, and
another shocked hat was of African
brown velvet with the trimming,
band around the crown, shocked with
few inches left plain between the
shocking
"A novel hat of black velvet had its
brim cut, with inserts of lace designs
in moon-shape. 1t was trimmed with
jet and ostrich feathers.
Jet, too, ssems to have come into
its own once more and hats are light
in weight, the frames being made of
the sof.est material No won an can
say she has a headache from wearing
heavy hat this winter.
Hand-emDroidery is seen on hats
this season. A gray hat of the open
ing had, as its trimming, walls OF
Troy" outlined in coral beads around
crown and brisn. II was faced with
artillery red velvet A tri-con shape
of black velvet. faced with pecan blue
and blue feather, was becoming to
most faces There were hats with
chenille flowers and foliage embroid
cred around the crown and brim;
there were brides hats in gray; hats
ways seen at millinery openings, and
number OF stylish mourning hats
were on display.
Several very pretty hats for young
misses were shown, for the most part,
poke-shaped. One in black velvet
with hand embroidery in red, and an
other in brown velvet, faced with
pink. with ribbon bow and ends, were
very childish and pretty.
One of the handsomest hats was Of
Bergundy velvet, poke-shape with its
only trimming a wreath of grapes
blending to the velvet coloring. There
is much work on the hats this year,
and the work is a credit to the new
milliner, Miss Bankard, in the Hol-
idayoke Company, who has shown
taste il, design and trimming.
