There are hundreds and hundreds of
millinery models ready-hats from

afacturers--but most of them are as
carefully guarded as court secrets UNI

The .Powers-that-Be in millinery you

The Visor Turban An Autumn Type
Small hats. elongated rather than
round and with the peak or visor brim
turning down to shade the face, are
promised a tremendous vogue for fall.
Two Of these hats are pictured. They
are splendid autumn models, small
and compact with nothing to catch
the breezes. and very well adapted
for wear with any sort of veil. The
style is austere rather than graceful,
but such hat can be very smart.
One of the models pictured is formal
turban for wear with a fall suit and
fur neckpiece-in other words, a for
NAL costume. The other model is
more on sport lines though 1t is suit
able for street wear with a simple cos
tune. Both hats show the slightly
higher crown which Is coming in for
autumn.
The formal turban Is of black silk
plush with looped chenille fringe in
black in rows on the crown. A Rus
sian ornament in jet is posed at the
front. The big crown and narrow visor
brim give the turban a top heavy look
like an officers cap. But that is
the very latest style. The other hat
has the same top-heavy suggestion but
the crown fits down well over the hair
and the narrow visor brim makes a
becoming frame for the face This
nat is made OF the new felt-soft and
supple as a cloth fabric, and a little
wool embroidery in, long and short
stitch sews the felt to the frame on
brim and crown. The color OF this
hat is orange and the wing ornaments
are silver gray. The brim is lined
with pale gray felt. A very smart and
unusual trimming effect has been
achieved by thrusting two wing-head-
ed pins sideways through the hat. This
will be comfortable and attractive
little hat to wear with the fall tailored
suit, or with a sport suit, sport foot
wear and linen sport shirt
Felt Preferred To Velvet
1t is years since so much felt was
seen IN early Rutumn millinery.
Femininity has been swamped with
velvet for seasons and seasons. All
the ready-to-wear hats that one picked
up for trimming at home were OF vel
vet. last fall And the fall before
that. And the fall before that And
there was every grade Of velvet-and
every grade Of price. Velvet hats will
be worn this coming winter but 1t
looks now as though velvet were to be

and dress-up hats. the sort of hats
that are trimmed with feathers and
are reserved for occasions. Most of
the early ready-to-wear models in
millinery are OF this new. supple felt.
And the colors of these felt, hats are
enchanting. Femininity Is not going
into somber headgear with the begin
ming OF September this year, judging
by the charming shades OF the ad-
vance models in millinery. now on
view.
