RENCH milliners have large
vocabulariex, and the only time
they call a hat a chapeau is
when they can't think OF any
thing else to call it. Instead
they talk of capelines, cloches, toques.
tricones. quatrecornes, berettas, bole-
roS, postillions, girondins. casques,
turbans, canotiers and sombreros.
Every season there are new names;
every season some OF the old names
are scrapped, and others. out of favor
for a few seasons, arc revived again.
Spanish names are strong|in their
appeal to the milliners this season.
There is the very wide-brimmed
sailor, sometimes merely spoken of
as Spanish sailor and sometimes
as a sombrero sailor. that has been
worn by smart women in France
ever since the Grand Prix ball there,
when it appeared as part of the pic
turesQue Spanish costumery OF the
m2squeraders.
4 hat much better suited for Au-
tumn and ever for Winter is the
bolero sailor, also Spanish in origin.
The bolero, one of the most interest,"
ing of native Spanish dances, which,
with the aid Of castanets and spoken
words, attempts to represent the
course of love from extreme shyness
to extreme passion, has at various
times given its name to many an
article of women's attire. Anything
than in any way suggested the Co.'S
tumery of the Spanish dancer as she
danced this passionate dance became
bolero, whether it was little
sleeveless jacket or the trim little
hat that has come into the spotlight
of fashion at the present time.
There are eight variations in the
bolero, but always it has rather
small. slightly rounded crown with
distinctly upturned brim. 1t is at
it's best when trimmed very simply.
The conventional pompon is well
chosen--two Of them placed at one
side. Vasselin Villetard of Paris has
trimmed one of her boleros with
scarab wings, two at each side.
The Spanish mode Of draping the
mantilla has given Inspiration to
several of the French designers. One
from Nine. Suzy that has been called
the "duenna" consists Of toque Of
black felt that rises high in Span
ish comb. Chantilly lace is draped
like mantilla, while Empire green
ribbon stretches across the back with
q little fiat bow at eitflAr SIDE
Suzanne Talbot has taken the Span
ish mantilla as the point of departure
in an evening headdress. A close-fit
ting tur ban is draped with a chiffon
scarf SO arranged that it can be
crossed in the back with the ends
falling like a mantilla at the Sides
1t is embroidered in mother Of pearl
and metallic threads.

THE rulers of England and Of
France have apparently con-

and hat names chosen for autumn.
There is Tudor turban-round,

named after Mary Tudor, the Bloody

of Henry VIII, and was first married

Her Precious Lawn.

One by one the old houses in what
had once been a beautiful residence
section had been torn down and in
their places had sprung up the build
ings of a manufacturing district. Old
Mrs. Bascom was the only one on the
street who had clung onto the fam
lily homestead, with its spacious green
lawn. From the windows Of her old
fashioned house, set far back from
the street, she looked with disapprov.
al on the new overall factory which
One day a group OF girls from the
factory came over at the noon hour
and began playing base ball on the
back end of Mrs. Bascom's big lawn.
They played for half an hour or more,

till the poor old lady was in fury.
They were wearing out her carefully
planted grass!
When they had gone back to work
Mrs. Bascom stalked over to the fac
tory, wrath in her eye, and asked
for the manager. She had to wait for
him in q room where the girls were
bending over their machines. She
didn't like it, because the air was
foul. She wondered how the girls
could stand It to sit there sewing un-

were, too, most Of them. =

One Stormy Night.

TT was q stormy night with rain
coming down in torrents. Jimmy,
the hotel clerk, was finding it hard
to keep awake, since business was
not fiourishinE. At II o'clock he was
almost doing of when q pinched
little man, of perhaps fifty, came
stamping in, registering for q room,
and in a high voice said: Now,
got to ketch a train at am, young
feller Kin 1 trust you to call me in
time fer it?"
Jimmy assured him that he could
and wrote it down on the pad. Then
for an hour or moro tho lobby was
empty and Jimmy soon fell fast

to 3! Like lightning he bounded
to the board and rang the mans
room. A sleepy voice soon answered.
Its ten minutes to 3.' Jim
my shouted into the telephone.
Get down here as fast as you can.
I'll have a taxi waiting!"
Jimmy called the taxi station and
urged upon them the necessity Of
having a car there Immediately. In
less than three minutes the lights Of
one shot through tho rain. At about
the same moment the little man
stumbled down the stairs. Time was
too precious to spend any of It con-
iemning Jimmy, SO the traveller
thrust some bills across the counter
and bolted out in the storm, shout
ing to the driver Of the taxi. Fast
a. you can go!"
The car was OF instantly. Jimmy
had time to sit down and ponder.
give minutes to buy a ticket and
make it, thought he. Gee, II the
old guy doesn't make 1t and comes
back. I'm gone" he mused- "And
I doubt il he could get there. Only
five minutes"
The door opened and = gust Of
rain blew in. With 1t came the little
old man. Jimmy staggered forward.
"You missed it?" he asked tremu-
lously.
Missed it" Kissed the angry man.

Retain Tcone Spanish and Dectoe

tached to the Innings of the new hats.
Once named, further explanations
seem unnecessary.
There is q Francois beretta among
the new French shapes-quite obvi-
ously inspired by one of the numerous
portraits Of that ambitious and gal
liant monarch. The Louis XVI hat
has been mentioned this summer,
wide-brimmed and turned up at the
back, such as kings and courtiers
usually wore in the late eighteenth
century. For Henry III Of France is
named a neat, rather high-crowned,
narrow-brimmed model, rolled up at
the left and often trimmed at the
right by some sort of dropping touffe.
And 80 1t goes-in the course of years
at this rate all of the rulers Of the
old French monarchy will have been
honored by the busy milliners of
Paris.
But the French ruler whose name
Is oftenest on the tongues of the
milliners is Napoleon. If he had never
done anything but'wear that famous
cooked hat of his he would have de-
served immortality. No other hat is
quite so famous. 1t would be inter-
esting to make list of the celebrated
men and women whose names are
closely associated with the hats they;
wore. Perhaps Mary Stuart would
come close second to the Little Cor
poral in this respect. Both seem to
have had q flair for millinery, both
knew how to wear q hat!
But to return to the Napoleon hat
liner out of ten-even OF the we'll
known ones-could give you a really
definite description or sketch Of the
Napoleonic hat, vet they talk glibly
of the Napoleonic tricorne and the
NaNoleonic effect. All that seems nee
eSsary to know is that the Napoleonic
hat was cooked SO that 1t went
Stright up in front, two horns of the
tricorne coming down rather low at
the side. Then there Is the Pierrette
tricurne-by which is usually meant
a hat with sides cooked so that one
point or horn comes at the front and
one at either side. The front horn,
however, is often rounded SO as not
to form q real point.
In the same group with the tri-
cornes and the marquises are the
quatracornes-which is just another
way of saying what some less exact
milliners would call a four-cornered
tricorne.
or course, Napoleon himself was
~ the most outstanding man of the
directoire and empire period in
French history, and Of course the
hats that he wore during those peri
DDS were primarily directoire or en-
pire. Eut in millinery lingo Ma
poleonic hat is one thing and a
directoire hat is another thing.
Generally speaking. the directoire
shape has fairly narrow. high
crown with a comparatively narrow
brim. 1t may taper in toward the
top. or it may curve slightly outward.
There are good historical precedents
for either form. Sometimes the brim
curves up slightly at either side and
sometimes distinctly at one side. One
of these dircctoire shapes is called
the postillion and another the girodin
shape. The difference is not always
apparent. Then there are demi-pos-
tillions, undoubtedly a development
of the present time. with a shape like
the historic prototype, but lacking a
brim at one side.
The beretta is shape that appar-
entity owed nothing either to Spain

or to the Napoleonic era But it is
spoken Of enthusiastically by many,
and it is likely to become one of the
leading successors of the cloche
among younger women who follow
the fashion.
1t, too, has an interesting history.
It's prototype was a round. fiat wooden
cap worn by the Basque peasantry in
France. Tie informal slouch cap
worn by French artists was modelled
on this. To begin with. they were
doubtless real Basque caps. 1t il
from the artists beretta or berat that
the shape spoken of by present-day
milliners is taken. Some subtle dis
tinction may exist between the beret
and the beretta in their minds. but 1t
Is not worth considering.
This Basque peasant beretta is not
to be confused with thu clerical BIZ
from the same Latin root. The BIZ
retta, you know, is worn by clerics in
the Catholic Church - black for
priests, purple for bishops and red
for cardinals. This might, Of course,
give inspiration for women's head
gear: but for the present it is the
beretta or beret, not the biretta.
The Phrygian hat is also spoken
of. and this goes back for Inspiration
pues that were worn a season or so
ago. The original of this is described
as "conical cap or bonnet with a
peak bent or turned over in front"
1t was worn by Phrygian peasants
centuries before christ. For some
reason or other whenever a Roman
slave was given his freedom part Of
the ceremony consisted of putting one
OF these simple caps on his head.
Hence it was that the Phrygian cap
became symbolicAl of liberty.
The Goddess of Liberty, whether
she presides over the destinies of the
French Republic or graces the face
of an American 50-cent piece. wears
one Of these Phrygian caps. But she
sat for her profile apparently before
women began to wear their hats over
their foreheads. so her Phrygian hat
appears to be slipping off the back of
her head, while the smart French
woman wears hers almost touching
her nose.
