COLORED HATS ARE
POPULAR IN PARIS
And Much Plumage Is Being
Used to Adorn the Fall
Creations.
There seems to be a fancy for very
dark browns, which, together with royal
navy and slate colored blues, deep ivy
and bluo green, drabs and lavender
grays, promise best for belts and for
velvets for the covering of shapes, in
cludlpg, of course, fclacjj, particularly
where velvet ana satin are' concerned,
says the Millinery Trade Review.
One of the models of the larger
medium oval shape is in darkest brown
cloth felt bound with a very narrow
velvet band to match. This is trimmed
with four ostrich feathers, of a chamois
shade tipped with rather deep fawn,
set upright about the crown.
A broad brimmed hat, though not
quite one of tho largest, covered with
ivy green velvet, has for trimming a
boa of white ostrict lying on the brim
and white amazon placed face down
wards across the crown and Its tip
rolling up, forming a sort of pompon on
Its right side. A black velvet hat of the
same size has two white shower aig
rettes fastened in front of the crown
beneath a formal bow of the velvet
which they sweep over right and left.
Some of the smaller velvet and satin
shapes, either with flat brims or with
brims turned up at the edges, are trim
med with fancifully arranged aigrette.
For one of these, white rJ.Trettq is made
up Into three hunches attached at reg
ular Intervals round a high crown. An
other has an immense sheaf of white
aigrette to .which are attached here an3
there tiny tassels made of black os
trich set up on tho left side of the
brim and rising above the crown.
A comparatively small hat with a
rolled black velvet brim and a domed
crown covered with white ottoman is
almost concealed beneath a quantity
of fine white aigrette.
A large shape ‘n soft cloth felt with
a high crown and shelving brim slight
ly fluted of a dark slate blue shade,
bordered with narrow black silk braid,
Is trimmed with a lot of black aigrette
mounted in an elongated cluster reach
ing from tho base of the crown in
front to its summit behind, and across
its left side.
There are a goodly number of Breton
shapes with the brim caught back on
one side; some dark brown, navy blue
or black, the brim fastened by a knot
ted cord of the same color sometimes
intermixed with a little gold or silver.
Some white Is very light buff. One of the
former has a chain made of rings of
clustered steel beads round the crown,
and a cravat bow o{ beaded filet to
fasten back the brim. This office Is
performed on some ivy gneen and king
fisher colored Bretons by parrots’
wings or very long white conteaux in
which bright reds and yellows mingle
with blues and green. And, on some
navy blue Bretons and other medium'
sized hats, by white ostrieft conteaux
printed with a pattern in bill® vaguely
reminiscent of that on Roucr* pottery,
or a group of white pigeon wings, por
tions of wbleh are dyed deep blue.
Much Plumage On Fall Hats.
Plumage plays the principal part In
the trimmings of the early fall models.
Breast plumage giving more or loss the
effect' of fur U not by any mean® set
aside, and Is likely to be very popular,
especially for toques, but the leading
firms prefer to use long, sofe conteaux
for tbo purpose, particularly In varie
gated and shaded colors. A very hand
some toque has the brim covered with
six Inch long eonteaux of this sort,
showing rather deep mother of pearl
tints, combined with a full crown of
kingfisher blue velvet and a handsome
fancy in lophophore.
In some of the toques the effect of a
full crown is obtained by loops of wide
moire ribbon, set up erect In a cluster
so as to conceal; the foundation entirely.
It is the fashion to match the ribbon
to the color of the dress or suit, and
to select velvet of a contrasting color—
often black for the velvet brim.
Cross cut bands of silk or satin un
raveled at the edges are being used by
many milliners Instead of ribbon for
hats trimmed with large bows, cock
ades and poufs. Shot material is
usually chosen, which gives a soft
plumage in effective variegated tones.
HOW TO MAKE “OLD” LACE.
Once more we have reached the
point in the revolution of fashion when
laces, espe.dally the real ones, must
have the old look now required by the
costumers in making up lace trimmed
gowns. There is a way to make new
lues look old, which, so far as color is
concerned, cannot be told from the
priceless heirlooms.
All that is needed is a newspaper.
Strips of newspaper are cut a trifle
wider than the lace is to be tinted. To
these the edges of the iace is carefully
sewed. A roll of newspapers about the
size of an ordinary mailing tube is then
made and the lace trimmed newspaper
strips are then rolled around this
smoothly. The whole is then sealed and
laid away. In the course Ijf a few weeks
or months the lace will havo acquired
the most perfect "old" color A hundred
years couldn't produce any better re
sults than the newspaper properly put
on.
William Gillette's Notes.
From the New York Sun.
In thcr writing of his plays and the
studying of characters for the stage
William Gillette takes many and cop
ious notes. All Ids life he has been
given to this habit of taking notes.
One night when he played Dr. Wat
son to William Pinkerton, the famous
detective, that lie might absorb some
sleuth local color for his Conan Doyle
play, the real Sherlock Holmes, so far
as Gillette was concerned, William Pin
kerton said to him:
“You take so many notes I don’t see
how you cart them about, or find them
when you want them for reference."
“I don't refer to them ever,” replied
Gillette. "You know I am hopelessly
given over to the note habit. I take
them in folios and scrolls; in black and
white and red, with and without illus
tration and upon all sorts of material.
•'I have stored tons of literature, with
drawings and corrections all hurriedly
jotted down, upon possessions various,
cuffs, hat bands, envelopes, pass blanks,
railroad schedules, maps, nice ivory
bound annotation tablets, collars,
gloves and newspaper margins.
"I never looked at one of them in my
life, but I keep them with systematic
splendor of fidelity, pay storage on
them and am perfectly satislled. If I
n ok no notes I should always feel that
something, character, detail or atmos
phere, had been neglected in my work.
Oci .:•■ -.tonally, if I find them, they save
a dispute.

BLACK AND WHITE
POPULAR IN PARIS
Gossip of the Newest Millinery
Styles in the French
' Capital.
The preference shown for black, for
white and for black and white finds
ample expression in the fabric and felt
shapes brought out for the opening
season.
A leading novelty in plush shapes—
a plush with pile so short and lying so
close that at first sight it may be mis
taken for a panne—is only exhibited in
black and white, the facing being in
both cases black velvet with the ex
ception of a few white samples faced
with royal blue.
The output of black shapes in enor
mous and fifetty equally divided be
tween all velvet, velvet faced with
satin, satin with velvet and plush (both
short and long piled) faced with vel
vet, beaver and smooth felt. Nor are
these different series restricted to any
special line of shapes, the fabric va
rieties In particular covering a most
,%xtensive range of large, medium sized
and small hats.
In white felt the choice of shapes is
almost ns large, both in soft shapes
and blocs* d shapes, the former in
cluding a variety |n blanket felt and
the latter divided between smooth cloth
felt and beaver, some of which are pro
vided ready faced with black velvet.
If the predominance of black and
.white is particularly marked in the
shapes provided ready for use, whole
sale for the general millinery trade—
more especially in the higher grades—
it is hardly less so in the models of the
leading firms, although of course these,
being bound to provide their customers
with greater variety, cannot confine
themselves quite so much to one groove.
In point of fact, however, nothing
promises to be so fashionable for mat
inee and other smart occasions as the
black velvet hat trimmed with white or
some light color, and the white felt or
fabric hat faced with black and trim
med with white mixed with a little
black.
Among the fabrics used for covering
hats is a sort of very furry plush which
looks for all the world like ermine. One
specimen of this sort, of unusually
large size, is lined with black velvet
and only trimmed round the crown with
a chain made of linked rings alter,
nately black and white.
ABOUT GLOVES.
Heavily embroidered long and short
kid gloves, both in self and contrast
ing colors, will be favorites for fall, as
there is every indication that bright
colored dresses will be fashionable.
Chamois gloves will continue to b«
j much worn, as they are of a material
, than can be washed and cleaned so
satisfactorily. Chamoisette, or chamois 1
fabric gloves, as they are called, will
bo found in the natural color and nu
merous other colors, A new glove of
n«e quality brown cape skin is the
aviation gauntlet. It makes a nobby
street glove, but is designed principally
for automobile wear. The large cuff
is lined with light colored kid, and
there are ornaments of the same col
ored kid, finished with white pearl but
tons underneathi
EMBROIDERY JABOTS.
The Jabot or plait with frill of lace
at one side makes the tailor-made
waist look less severe ant? is especially
attractive over the front of the coat.
Quite tile newest jabots are in Ham
burg embroiderery, the widest part be
ing IS inches and narrowing down to
almost nsthing below the bust. Cuffs
of the same showy embroidery are
often worn on waists having soft cuffs.
Cluny insertion and edgings make some
of the handsomest jabots of soft effect
suitable for batiste or sheer linen
blouses. Parisians are not given to
looking upon the severe waist with as
much favor as are American women,
and It is reasonable to suppose that
many of the little whims in the way
of neck fixings are direct Importations
from French designers, which accounts
for the exquisite needlework nearly all
boast of:
FASHIONABLE GIRDLES.
The newest girdles are made of rope,
bead, metal, fabric and chenille. The
latter are particularly well liked, as
are also those made of pierced metal
pieces run with ribbon and obtainable
in assorted colors. There are also those
made of colored pyroxylin, ribbon
laced. These pyroxylin girdles, while
extremely light In weight. have an ef
fect similar to the heavier metal ones.
Another of tills class of girdle Is the
heavy linked chain or metal rope made
in either gilt, silver or oxidised.
Due to the great popularity of cord
girdles, there have been manufactured
special ornamental pins in plain and
chased effects, also set with colored
stones, intended for use as a fastening
for the girdles in place of a knot, be
ing both practical and ornamental,’ and
at the same time eliminating the knot
tying wear on the girdle.
TO CLEAN WHITE FELT.
A quick and effective way to clean
white felt hats so much worn now is
to make a paste of flour and gasoline,
rub it into hat, and hang in the air.
When dry it will look just like new,
with all dust and finger marks gone.
TO CLEAN SCREENS.
To clean wire sereens, dampen cot
ton cloth with kerosene, rub both sides;
they look like new; also help to keep
flies away.
Autumn.
'Tis all a myth that autumn grieves.
For watch the rain amid the leaves;
With sliver lingers dimly seen
It mttkes each leaf a tambourine.
And swings and leaps with elfln mirth.
To kiss the brow of mother earth;
Or. laughing ’mid the trembling grass,
it nods a greeting as you pass,
O hear the rain amid the leaves—
Tis all a myth that autumn grieves.
Tis nil a myth that autumn grieves—
For list the wind among the sheaves;
Far sweeter than the breath of May
Or storied scents of old Cathay,
It blends the perfumes rare and good
Of spicy pine and hickory wood;
And with a voice as gay as rhyme
It prates of rifled mint and thyme.
O scent the wind among the sheaves—
'Tis all a myth that autumn grieves.
Tis all a myth that auturaq grieves.
Behold the wondrous web she weaves.
By viewless hands her thread Is spun
Of evening vapor's shyly won,
Across the grass from s/le to side
A myriad unseen shuttles glide
Throughout the night, till on the hight
Aurora leads the -ttffgard light,
Behold the wondrous web she weaves—
Tis all a myth .that autumn grieves.
—Samuel Minium Feck.
Successful Economy In Baking.
Most housewives assume when they buy
a big can of baking powder at a low price
that they have been economical. They
have to a slight extent—but when they
use that cheap “big can” baking powder,
and find it se uneven in quality, or so un
reliable that the baking falls, there isn't
so much economy in it after all, for the
wasted materials far outweigh the few
cents saved in the price.
SUCCESSFUL economy, is in the reach
of every woman that desires it. She has
only to order Calumet Baking Powder,
and use it according to instructions. Then,
she will achieve ecanomy. For not only
does Calumet sell at a reasonable price
250 per pound—but it is so carefully made
by experienced chemists that failure Is
impossible. Only the best materials are
used and the proportions of the Ingredi
ents hre so exact and so uniform that
EVERY baking comes from the even,
light, sweet, and beautifully raised. Calu
met guarantees you against failure, and
that is what constitutes real economy in
baking.
Why not use Calumet, a baking powder
that you can always rely upon? You can
pet no better at any price, for at the
World’s Pure Food Exposition, Calumet
received the Highest Award.
