Miss f. NJ Woolley in the Arundel
Building. and the "Hat Shop" of Mrs.
j. NJ Strange, Main street, at both of
which places a variety of stylish au-

and were much admired.
At Miss f. NJ. Woolley's the deco
rations were in keeping with autumn,
and amid a profusion of autumn
leaves beautiful red dahlias gave a
touch of warmth and glow of coloring.
Graceful ferns were also used in the
decoration.
Miss Woolley said there is a great
variety of hats this season, both small
and large hats. Shapes vary from the
toque and turban to the poke and
broad brim hat
The material used is the beaver,
velvet, valour, panne velvet and silk,
but little felt is seen in hats this au-
tumn.
There is also variety of colors,
purple being popular, as well as
black. sand, gray, turquois blue and
brown. Feathers, especially the os-
trich, and flowers made of ribbon are
used as trimming on hats of the pres
ent season.
Miss Woolley displayed among a
number of beautiful hats a small
feather turban in green and dark
blue, an irredescent effect of color
ing, which was very stylish.

vet, with sand facing. and black os-
trich plume around the crown was
simple and effective

rose Georgette crepe, its only trim
ming being roses of old rose ribbon
appliqued around the brim, was quite
