:" strong for 1t. The new hats
have borrowed their lines from almost
every country Of the world and the
only type that does not seem to be
represented Is the clumsy, f1igh-set
turban beloved Of the Teutonic haus-
frau.
There are English hats, graceful
and dropping with the inevitable Eng
lish feather. There are saucy, tilted
chapeaux with dasling slant-away-
feathers that bespeak Paris There
are velvet effects draped high that
suggest the dignified mintilla and
comb Of the Spanish senorita There
are close little caps with trailing cog
at the back that give exactly the sill
houette OF the head-dress Of italy.
There are massive Russian toaues and
there are turned back effects that
suggest the starched Dutch cap. And

Not Even Egypt Omitted

pictured--an odd affair is 1t not, but
tremendously smart with i.; extended
crown that turns and slopes down over
the ears and its massive cut Jet orna-

are covered with tiny jet beads or
elongated bugles, each ON. of which

Fur On Russian TurI5ans
Another model that must claim Its
place in the League, as expressed by
millinery. is the Russian t,llban with
its matching scarf. Gray s,strachan.

the smart gray and black comblna-

season. Gray and black; tfack and

IN stunning wraps, in afternoon frocks,
even In my lady's boots of dull black

There is something distinguished about
