N the beauty and smartness of the motor
I 1 headgear depends the success of one"s
I Y I r"otr outfit.
I I Before selecting any of the new fall
models which are so enticingly displayed
there are a few things to remember.
First, hats that turn up directly in
front force a woman to .admit every year
of her age. They may be becoming to a young face,
but even there the circumstances must be right for
them.
A woirwin must be sure of her brow if she can wear
the type of hat that turn directly off the face. She
must be positive that there are no worry lines and no
care wrinkles on her forehead. She must be free from
the habit of making grimaces and her brow must have
a clear, smooth surface.
If she Is Dure of her brow she may choose any of
the models that are lifted smartly In front, and go
forth and face the world In her motor. She has noth
ing to fear from close Inspection. Hut If her forehead
la not all that It used to be let her beware of the hat
whose brim turns up In front, for it will reveal all
the defect! of her brow.
, The French woman Is clever In this respect. She
wears when motoring hats that either shade the brow
or expose It. Her hat usually has a brim that accom
modates Itself to the situation. It Is made of llezlblo
a-traw which can be bent and yet will hold Its shape.
This means that It can be adjusted so as to roll from
the face or droop downward.
The reversible hat Is another Idea for the motorist,
fcut of course these things are mere makeshifts. All
orta of headgear suitable for motoring are shown In
the shops, but women who think about what they wear
refuse to buy the typical motor hats offered. Most of
the motor hats shown are plain, ugly, and not even
mannish enough to be neot.
Tha well dreswed motor girl makes herself or has
made a trim, neat little bonnet built on quaint lines,
trimmed with ribbon or flat wings at the back, the
color being the same as the coat. It la Impossible to
get any pleasure out of touring If one wears a lark-e
hat. More women than one have been made absolutely
miserable by trying to keep themselves and their
spreading chapeaus in quiet and harmonious partner
ship. J
In the new fall lines of motor bonnets are shown
kata-of Till fabric with crowns of draped tafTeta. High
crowned hats of soft felt with narrow curled up brims
that may be well pulled down are making their ap
pearance In the shops. They tire similar to the I'lerrot
models that proved so popular In straw.
An unusually handsome model of this shape was In
golden tnn felt trimmed with old gold taffeta ribbon
arranged In a flat bowvat the right side back. Quite a
variety of helmets Is being shown In folt. velour. and
pressed velvet. "They are exceedingly attractive, not
being extreme In form. Two kinds of brims are used
en the helmet, shapes. The upright or coronet brim,
which produces a hat on the turban ordor. while the
other droops being a continuation of the helmet
crown and spreads out, particularly at the sides, the
front being pinched Into a pointed beak.
This type of hat Is generally becoming and comfort
able, and as Paris continues to favor this shape, tha
outlook for the success of helmets In fall lines is de
. cldedly favorable.
Wing trimmings are to be strong this fall. The
helmet above all Is admirably adapted to wing trim
mings. Small and large Mercury wings placed at each
aid of the hat are among the foremost favorites.
An anuaually attractive arrangement shows a round
erown hat with a large wing, the main portion of which
la rouuded so as to envelops the front and sides of the
stow i-, the long 'feather of tha wing projecting up
ward and toward the back.
Another attractive Importation in feather trimming
to pls-ed directly In front of a Pierrot shape with a
high pointed crown and la composed of soft whits

Champagne color pomises to be the color for fall
wear In coxtumcs as well as In motor wear. With
chnnipngno colored motor coat was worn recently a
suKnr luaf hnt of pearl white felt. Pot on each slcia of
the front of the hat and compressed closely about the
crown wer.i two great owls' heads of the same noft tono
of color a" the coat
This color has suddenly become one of the successes
f'f the Benson, especially In millinery, and extremely
odd at this season of the year is the sudden whim of
modish women for httta trimmed with wlnps. heads,
end tall feathers of birds Instead of the usual summer
trimmings of tlowtrs and lace.
JuHt nt the present moment these pale champagne
colored wings are the last word In the millinery world.
Next In Importance to this stiff wing trimming are
cogue's feathers; but these are not, as of yore, drooping
feathers clustered together In cogue's tail form. Indeed
no!
These feathers have curled tips and are disposed In
masses that cover entirely the crown of Mho hat, or
they are built In a hedge about It or arranged to form
tall colonel's feathers and smart cockades. In these
also the pretty belts or champagne color is prominent,
but white and black are also in demand.
Lest the reading of this mixture may not be clear
to those not versed In the little niceties of les modes.
It should be said that white and black Is the thing, not
black and white a vast difference.
Particularly appropriate for fall and winter motor
Ins are the close fitting bonnets. One of the qunlntest
of these was shown in deep purple lor.g haired felt. A
binding of velvet' In the same tone finished the ede of
the scoop brim and a flat bow of purple taffeta ribbon
was placed at the Renter front. There was absolutely
nothing extreme about the model, which proved becom
ing to a large number who tried It.
Another demure looking model was of soft black telt
with a sgiall bow trimming of black satin. At each
tilde the rather narrow brim was widened over the ears
and was covered with empire green uncut velvet Such
a bonnet Is Ideal for windy motor wear.
There, Is any number of soft felt shapes In light
colors with simple trimming of colored ribbon that are
appropriate for motor and other outing wear. Regular
belting la used in soma Instances, as well as the

"Mick ups " or small upright novelty feather pieces.
Similar hats that are decidedly an early fall article are
brought out In scratch beaver or long hatred felt.
There Li u strong tendency toward light weight hats,
which tendency was really the basts of the hemps,
taguls, Panamas, and Java shapes for summer; and
why not lightweight taffetas and satins for fall, re
serving the beaver's felt to be featured later In the
season?
An Interesting novelty Is found In the arrangement
of skeleton ostrich. Plumes of larrre size, both wide
and long, and especially wired, are placed on the four
sides of the tall crown of a helmet shape. This In
creases the height of the crown and gives an interest
ing outline to the hat.
This type of decoration, however. Is not practical for
motoring. Where the crown Is formed of a succes
sion of frills of plaited mallne or ribbon It Is found to
be much more practical and suitable.
Shetland veils give a certain cachet to one's outdoor
costume that can be produced In no other way. They
are called Shetland merely because the weave Is In
Imitation of the Shetland wools, but they are In reality
silky In flnlsh. The mesh Is either closed or open, yet
always soft and graceful In effect. They come In al
most any color blue, brown, wlstarta, gray, cham
pagne, and white and black, with a plain narrow band
border called tape.
The motor girl's enthusiasm over automobiles Is
equaled only by her Interest In motor coats. These are
her busy days. She Is flying about helter skelter, hith
er, thither, and aimlersly clgzagglng In her seirdi for
suitable garments for late summer and early fall. She
thinks she has problems. The dusts of the summer
trips have been ruinous to her togs, but Just how she
can wear garments suitable alike for touring and din
ing Is a knotty problem that gives much employment
to her poor little head.
A three piece suit Is one solution. It thould be mada
cf serge, a short, narrow skirt, a short little Jacket, and
J.olro Snipe of Suiaatrji fctiaw, Sltok
Velvet Trimming.
a long motoring coat. Except on the warmest days she
can wear both the short Jacket and the long coat. With
these chlo togs she will wear a cunning little closa
fitting bonnet or helmet shaped toque about which
she drapes a smart white veil and looks adorable.
The great advantage of such an arrangement Is thst
the long coat and veil may be quickly discarded and
left In the machine while my lady beautiful emerges
all fitted out for shopping or walking or to appear In
a restaurant or hotel dining room.
Tht display of beautiful motor garments this year is
enough to turn any woman's head. The garments have
taken on wonderful lines. Home ere strictly tailored,
others are merely fashionable outdoor kimonos cut on
the prevailing straight, narrow line.
All the best and most expensive motor coats are
rubber lined. This is quite necessary If one la to pre
serve one's gown at all. Every feminine automobile
enthusiast has experienced the frightful shock of
starting out In sunlight, glory, and grand raiment, to
come back In cloudbursts, scragly, wea'.hor beaten coif
fures, and dripping magnificence.
It is safer always to expect the rain and be pre
pared. This Insures sunny weather. The cloth used In
the coats Is light and thin and the rubber lining Is not
heavy enough to give discomfort. They are cut not to
hide the skirt hem.
While the sailor collar Is not as prominent as It
was, it has not been entirely eliminated from the motor
coat modes. Many pointed collars, some In hood effect,
are shown, and large round collars are also seen.
The general characteristic of all motor coats la the
slender, silhouette, short walsted effects with belt and
belt suggestions. Large revere are also featured and
both peasant and regulation coat sleeves are shown.
Most of the coats fasten at the side.
The new double faced cloths lend themselves readily
to the construction of the motor coats, as they do not
soil easily and do not show hard wear. At the earns
time they are decidedly fashionable. Scotch mixtures
and heavy serges are also practical fabrics.
