Hats With Shallow Crown
Worn Well Back on Head

Fail hats for women will have very
shallow crowns and will be worn well
back on the head, allowing the hair
to be seen, according to fashion ex-
perts of the Retail Millinery associa-
ton of America. which had its autumn
showing in New York a short time
ago.
Brimmed hats will be used for
sports wear and several wide-brimmed
models for afternoon wear from Patou
were shown. Several creations dis
played the draped turban effect.
Velvets. felts and soleils will be the
favorite autumn fabrics and dark
brown, green and wine red in their
various shades will be the smart
colors. Black, however, will continue
TO be stylish.

troduced little feather trims, most of
them worn over one ear. Small fur
hats, and hats with fur trimmings,

Lingerie Touches
on Fall Dresses
Pique, Handkerchief Linen,
Batiste and Lace Are
in the Mode.

Lingerie touches are being used on
many frocks for early fall wear, notes
a fashion writer in the New York
World. Every woman likes to seize
any reason the calendar offers for
starting a new wardrobe, yet she Is
often reluctant to give up certain be-
coming tricks of the passing season
which have caught her fancy. AT
this particular turn of the year she
may find her first new frOck stamped
1890 by its having the cool, fresh de-
tails that have been so popular Of
late. Pique, handkerchief linen, batiste
and lace, all seem assured of success
as relieving notes In the early fall
mode.
Scallops, especially the rather shall
low ones which have appeared on
many smart summer costumes, are
also approved. They are chiefly used
to finish sleeve and peplum or to make
peplum effects.
A quietly distinguished two-piece
frock of black crepe, which is being
ordered repeatedly Dy the clientele OF
one of the smart shops, is content to
have its lingerie accent at the neck
line only. Narrow. sheer, handker-
chief linen bands, linked by fagotting
and outlined with lace, follow the "
neck and go over into simple bow
low at its base.
The softly flaring skirt is set on a
thin silk body. The crepe blouse has
a normal waistline but extends well
below the waist in a peplum with a
scalloped finish. The long sleeves
with their little crepe-covered buttons
are unusual in that they are composed

line which is being shown on any num-
Der of dresses this type.
Such waistlines are adjustable to
the wearer's figure by reason of their
elasticity and because, being part of
the separate top, they can be raised
a bit or worn well down as proves
most becoming to the individual. In
this dress the knitted waistline is
black and is matched by knitted cuffs
which hug the wrists. These are more
informal and not so jaunty as the far
ing pique ones, hut they are flattering,
too, ana much better adapted to wear
under heavy coat sleeves later on.
