Winter Hats.

Winter hats will have a choice of blossoms for their adornment in a variety of material and color hitherto unknown in millinery circles. The hues will, of course, be of a more subdued character than the summer one 3 and the materials used in the makeup of the flowers will be specially made to suit the weather. Rain-proof roses will be seen and artificial flowers will be created in fabrics immune from the onslaught of fog or snow. In order that the flowers shall have an appropriate setting there will be a change in the winter hat itself. During the coming autumn a large quantity of black chip hats are to be imported from Italy, and in one quarter It was stated that no fewer than 2,000,000 dozen of these hats will shortly tome on the market.
