 &i~ HE feathered hat of autumn Is either soft-lined and exquisitely graceful; or stiff, smart and alert - in suggestion. Not all feathers trs1l richly over the hatbrim, or nod soy ly over the. crown. The range of feather trimming includes all the varieties too-coq, fancy wings. whlsps' clipped pheasant and va M osprey effects. The mingling of N colors in sharp pointed wings that around the hat, is a notable feA- f'le of the pictured hats shows
 Ind white wings of this type IheS wings. of course, never sprouted on any bird of known variety. The
 long, pointed pinion is entirely arti- H f1cial but no one can dispute it's smart
 ness. Black and white quills of grad
 uated length are attached to long | strip or white grebe and the tips of | the quills are clipped off in straight line at the edge of the hatbrim. The
 long wing is effectively arranged
 across the front of an ordinary low crowned, wide-brimmed sailor of | black matters plush, the wing being l pleated or bent over on itself midway
 
 Black And White Wings Are Chic Paris just now adores the little, tip- tilted cloche shape entirely covered with feathers in black and white. One Of these little chapeaux is pictured and you will admit it is most piquant affair. Except for black velvet bow set across the back, the whole hat is covered with black and white feathers -downy little clipped pheasant feath- CTS, and over this feather background | are arranged stiff, small white wings bound with black velvet and radiat- ing from bow of black velvet which, stretches from front to back of the crown. Never was a more cunning little hat; it's shape and style are reminiscent of the seventies. but the arrangement of feathers and wings is quite new.
 Peaked Chinese Crowns On Turbans
 The hat crowns of autumn are most ly soft, draped affairs of velvet or other supple fabrics, and an crowns are roomy and rather low. All ex- cept the peaked Chinese crown which is the exception to general rule, and which Is making decided hit. The Chinese crown is in triangular sec tions, but Is quite different from the [ rounding, melon crown; it points up- ward in sharp peak and rises from q perfectly round brim, the whole hat built large enough, however, to settle we'll down on the head. Eyebrows are even less fashionable than they were last winter You may glimpse them indoors but rarely in the street. The fetching little Chinese turban pictured Is made of dark brown velvet and the cording is piped with apricot velvet. The trailing coq feather, which does seem to be exactly the trimming for this particular style of hat. is in the apricot shade. These hats are charm ing also in black with white trimming, and in dark blue with gray trimming. They promise to be very popular with younger women-of course. nobody over twenty-five would be foolish enough to put one on,
 Many Varieties Of Coz
 Sometimes coz plumage is split into airy strands that curl very gracefully over hatbrims. There is also the give erined ostrich which has this airy, delicate effect: though neither coz nor glycerined ostrich can ever hope to in grace and beauty, with natural. curled ostrich feather. A mil- Itary looking turban of the smart. se- were type has tall topknot of give erira.' aatr.cn standing s1rals it up al the front. Another bat a draped boat shaped moGel of brown velvet has split coq trailing off at the back. over crown and brm-distinctly different effects, you see: and both authorita- lively correct
 This difference in trimming arrange ment Is apparent in two feathered hats pictured: one a veil-draped affair with an upstanding ostrich tip. the other a hat little turban swathed in l down-drooping plume. The fact is I hat feathers may be used any way Tou please-so long as feathers are lsed! Feathers are becoming as in
