picture accompanies new trotter

Another very good looking feather
neckpiece is pictureA--a straight scarf
finished at one end with three feath-
cry tails. This style of marabou
neckscarf is very smart just now, Tnc
scarf may be worn ass pictured. with
the tailed end hanging below the
waistline, or the scarf may be twisted
around the neck and the tailed end
tossed over one shoulder. These
scarfs are not quite as dressy as the
little shoulder wraps tied with mar
about-tipped ribbons, but they are pre-
ferred by some women because OF the
various ways they may be worn. and
because they have special smartness
with tailored semi-sport costumes. The
cape-wrap. of course, may not accom-
pany a semi-sport costume. but de-
mands a formal frock and hat to set
It off.
There are smaller collarettes and
capelets of marabou and a quaint and
graceful little cape-collar is pictured.
Worn with a new basque-bodice frock
of quaint high-waisted style, this
dainty marabou collar is most at
tractive. And 1t is warm too-oh, de-
lighffuIly warm and cozy. on one of

of supple golden brown felt and the
crown is of darker brown velvet.

Another popular sailor IS the small
mushroom style which frames the face.
These hats are particularly becoming
to young women who wear their hair
wen nuffed ont over their ears; the
mushroom must always frame some
thing and the more hair that shows
under its downturned brlm. tho more
becoming IT is. The style was original
~ intended for littlo children WITH
curly locks. and only women with
round. youthful faces and fluffy hair
should adopt It. 1t is painful on a
,bin-faced woman with silckly drawn
back tresses. A dainty little autumn
sailor in the mushroom style has
turned down brim of velvet and a
moderately high crown of velvet. un-

with its floating veil: and indeed these
hats are almost universally becoming
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-09-01

The only women who cannot wear
them are those of the majestic or
grenadier type who are so big that
they dare not make their heads look
too small. And a roll-brim hat some
how does make the head look small
ana dainty. The pictured model has
n draped crown of taupe colored vel-
vet and brim-facing OF white velvet
Just off the dead white and APP
preaching an ivory tone. The veil
which you VIII admit quite makes
the hat, is OF taupe net with a fine
lace pattern showing acorns' and
leaves. Many OF the French hats
show the draped crown and rolled up
brlm. one specially charming model
by Paulette. is of almond green velvet
and from the top of the rolled brim
sprouts a sort of. hedge Of clipped
ostrich in the same roft green color.
Another roll brim hat from Pauletio
has n crown of castor brown velvet
and the briIn Is of beaver in the same
shade. A tiny castor brown ostrich
feather curls down over the right ear.
Cog The Paris Millinery Fad
one of today's illustrations shows a
combination that IS the rage In Paris
lust now; small hat trimmed with
COO. and a cravat and nun to match.
An authoritative milliner here has re-
produced the Partisan effect very
cleverly and this cog set will interest
every woman who is keen about new
and distinctive fashions. The hat and
mum are of white velvet and the coz
feathers are green and black In a rich
iridescent effect. Worn with a very
simple frock of black satin. the COZ
belongings are strikingly chic.
Large Hats In The Minority
There are less big hats this fall
than one usually sees at the beginning
of the autumn season. And the big
hats seem to reserve themselves for
formal wear: for dressy occasions and
for restaurant dining. Women who
come into town from the smart out
of-town colonies wear with their cool
and modish linen taiior-mades. small
ish hats of velvet and beaver on sport
lines--if they wear autumn millinery
at all. There is tendency on the
part CT the fashionables to wear sum.

the rest OF the hat is brocaded velvet

a long strip of brown velvet lined with
coral velvet forms the trimming; the
velvet band crushed and looped into
the shape of n gigantic flower.
