Hats, just at present, seem to occupy
the bead of our women folk, to the ex
clusion of other subjrctp, and the range
of variety in the headgear of those who
make it the rule of their lives to be
dreawd up to the hour, is so great that
I approach the question with a aens
tioa of diffidence.
In the first place, then, the Huffy
feather boas, which have been our very
good friends on chill days, when wound
about our necks, will constitute an im
portant factor in the decoration of the
new picture bats. The boas are wound
several times around the Gainsborough,

ever, still further accentuating their Qiinv:flo. pr--rfirrc

it is the correct shade, and there let the
discussion end.
Roman pearls, tco, ate to be freely

likely to bscome generally popular.

Returning to the subject of pearl?,
one very striking hat that I saw was in
crusted with them, not on'y on the
crown, but on the brim, both upper and
lower sides. Then there were two large
pume3 which hung backward over tne
new hat might as well be an old
one. Terry velvet, felt, silk beaver,
both the fuzzy and the long haired, are
the season's materials.
We have all heard with our ears, and
some of us have seen with our eyes, the
double-decker hat, but now I have news
of them with triple brims. The only
advice I have to offer concerning them
is -"Don't."-
Alpine hats are pretty and in keeping
with the tailor costumes and while one
has been accustomed to a gay band
around these hats, nowadays an owl's
head or ospray plumes are not only
permissable but are the correct things.
White terry velvet, bespangled with
turquoise, is suggpstod as a stunning
crown for one of the new theatre bonntts.

popularity, and in the light of events,
now the answer must be in the affirma
tive. One high priestess of fashion,
while in my company, hesitated long,
and almost caught her breath, when her
dressmaker showed the gay stuffs, but
the artistic beauty of the goods overcame
her nabitual scruples and shefell or, at
least, ordered the costume.
These plaids are made up in all sorts
of wayB for a'l sortB of people, but
among the elect there is but one model
considered, the Russian blouse, and this
fact, if no other, foibids their adoption
by women with any tendency to stout
ness. To the slender, willowy women,
however, they are becoming. Of the
various patterns perhaps the Roman
stripe plaid i9 the newest and smartest.
There is a very new fabric for evening
gowns. It is known as Empire pi isse, is
light as thistledown and exquisite for a
dancing frock. Satin antique is another
novelty, not unlike silk plush. Then
there is what the dealers call Ioosely
shirred velvet, and of this, entire waists
will be mads and will be very smart.
The golf influence has led to the
wearing by children of plaid stockings,
and is very natty in effect.
In a general way I may say that
the striking features of the displays of
autumn goods are the checks, the
stripes and co!or mixtures.
Bows are to be worn directly in front
instead of at the back of the collar, and
I heartily approve the change, for the
huge bows worn by our women at the
back of their necke were strangely and
unpleasantly suggestive of Fido's street
toilette.
A sensible suggestion as to widow's
mourning comes to me from England,
where now the dreadful crape veil is
abolished soon after the funeral, and in
place is substituted one of black net. At
first this carries a very deep hem of
crape, which is gradually diminished as
time and generous settlements mitigate
the asperities of the affliction, until at
the end of what I may or may
not be pardoned for calling th9 "close
season,' oaly tho net veil is worn, and
eligible widowers who castsheeps ejes
do so at their peril. I should say, how
ever, that the bonnet is of crape and re
mains so until the period for "taking
notice' arrives.
Furs are to be very fashionable in
deed. When are they not? Many of
the fur jackets will be belted in at the
waist with jeweled girdles. Ermine is
to be a prime favorite, as it was last
year, and it will be worn in combination
with seal and astrakhan.
One model for a fur coat is an Eton
jacket with elaborate buttons, enameled
or jtweled and white lace in frills falling
down the front to th; waist.
call call "back numbers.' and their
place is taken by blouse jackets. The
chacge may be due to the diminution in
the size of sleeves, but there is no saving
in material, for now that the sleeves are
smaller the body is made to bag.
The fashionable muff will be larger
than ever, or, at least, larger than for
more years than you and I together
could possibly remember 60 large, in
deed, as to appear irksome to the person
who carries them.
1 am glad to reiterate the statement
that skiits are to be narrower, only
three and a half yards wide, a most
welcome item of news, for certainly my
sisters will tear me out in saying that
for several years our skirts have been a
most harrassing burden from the
weight of material in them.
