 Paris, Aug. r. While every wo- man. at the present moment, is rev. cling in the possession of at least one picture hat, the Partisan mo- distes are feverishly preparing their collections of hats for the first autumnal days.
 There are SC many attractive and new ideas to be seen in> these Fall modes that they forbid even fleeting sadness at the thought Of a rapidly waning summer. Every possible feature to make women look younger seems to have been exploited and there is a richness of coloring that augurs we'll for the coming seasons fash ions.
 Many of the new shapes con- tinue to show q vast expanse of forehead; there are still a bewild- ering number of beret- shaped hats, when we all thought that every pos sible shape beret could take had been thought of by the modistes. but there are also q number of adorabl cloche shapes, so that every possible type of woman can be becomingly hated.
 There were a number of women who could be heard last season protesting against the all-reveal- ing qualities Cor defects) of the brimless hat, yet who admitted that if they did show strength ot character and acquired one that was more becoming to their type or age, they invariably felt tri- umph. This season when the forehead will be barred, there will be briIs rolled back to soften the face on either side or on one side only, to suit the wearer. Another style that promises to be very pop. ular shows the brim rolled back fitting close to the head on the left side and elongated on the right.
 For informal wear, flecked felt. to match the coat or ensemble vii vie with hats of the same mate. rial. These will be simply trimmed with grosgrain or bands of soft kid small clocbe or minute up-turneC brims seem to be preferred for felt shapes and the beret theme is usu. ally worked out when the same fab. ric as the ensemble is chosen.
 Felts as supple as velvet are being offered for formal afternoon wear, ranging from the silky taupe to the dull antelope felt, while velvet will fashion a great mum be of the smart models Incrus tations continue to be an import ant feature in hats, and We vii see incrustations Of satin and pannt on feits of hairbraid lace on velve' and flat furs on both felt and velvet
 Medium sized brims will b, trimmed with large deftly-tied rib bons, as only the Partisan modist, knows how to fashion them, ane although black promises to reigr supreme still another season. il will always be relieved by a con trasting color in the form of a rib bon trimming, a feather motif O a jewelled ornament
 Florence Walton. the we'll known modiste, has featured al these new ideas in her extensive autumn collection. There is among the innumerable models one of softly draped white velvet which strikes a very new note both in shape and color. A gra, felt with silver gray panne in crustations is also attractive, anc brown felt trimmed very clev. erly with orange grosgrain is something very new in color com. bination.
 One salient point connectec wth the latest hats is the small ness of the crowns. Although many ot the afternoon hats have gathered or rucked crowns, this work has tc be done in such a. way as to avoit adding even one inch to the wear CTS head.

Ca reddish mauve) brown witt reddish pink, beige and orange black with pink, green, sapphir blue, and white trimmed with fla black pelts such as astrakhan ant galyac.
