' " - Cy JULIA BOTTOMLEY. mriHERE are threo leading shapes, shown In ninny niodlflcations nnd vnrl Intlons, upon which millinery for tho fast-coming winter season is manly built. A single example of each ono is shown in our Illustrations. There nro tho Bide and tho back roll styles of brim, and thero Is the smart and "chic" mall round hat or turban. Tho Urst style with brim much widened nnd crown moro or less heightened becomes the plcturo hat. Tho back roll brim is shown in hats of medium sizo and tho turban Is developed by helcht enlng tho crown Into tho "Cossack" and oven Into tho "drum major" ctyles. At tho very first clnnco the bats pictured appeal to us as moro beautiful nnd moro becoming than anything we havo hnd for several seasons past. A closor'study convinces us thnt our first Impression is correct. Tho shape, in th6 first place, fits tho ht-nd as easily as n man's hat They do no envolopo us, fairly concenling tho faco, nor are thoy porched precariously on top of tho head, as If about to tako advantngo of their wfngs to fly away. This good fit makes tho wobbly hat n thing of tfcc past, and onco propory adjusted and pinned to plnco, wo can bo reasonably sure that they will not slip Into on If km A UDUigniuca u not. raitiBii tooKing pose. Tho trimming for each of these hats Is well chosen and substantial to begin with, elegant and beautiful to end with. In No. 1 tho velvet covered hat has a brim upturned in tho back nnd what Is known ns the "collar edgo" In front and sides. Tho shnpo Is of plain velvet. It Is draped with vol vet (tho light Paon silk variety) and trimmed with natural wings. Theso will stand any nmount of wear and arc to be had In ull colors. A band orna ment of gunmotal or other beads finishes tho decoration. In addition to fitting woll, this hat fulfills all tho requirements of good millinery when it is well made. It affords a protection to the head and eyes and it is moro than becoming It Is really flattering. It Is said that tho test of perfection in millinery Is this: tho wearer should looic octtor wun man without her uat In mora than nlno cases out of ten this model will bo found to stand the test A very eleKnst model Is shown In No. 2. It Is of lino beaver folt with trlmmlnir of shirred ribbon nnd a wreath of roses. Tho ribbon Is shirred on light wires and cleverly draped over tho crown. Tho soml-wrcath Is of roses mndo of a very high luster silk nnd velvet1 having a metallic appoaranco. Thov nro shaded In tones to harmonize with the hat.
