BRIGHT COLORS FOR CHILDREN’S HATS

LITTMb maids are fortunate in having the greatest variety in hats to choose from that has ever been provided for them. Any number of shapes, diminutives of those brought out for grown-ups, have been made for little girls. Two of them, suited to children from five to ten years, are shown here, In these, as In so many pf the new fall models, the shapes are covered with plush and faced with soft, thin silk. The hat with brim turning up at the side has a soft crown, a puff of plush unsupported by wires or buckram. This Is one of the features of new millinery. It is carefully finished and is untrimmed except for the small wing mounted at the front. Plushes and velvets do not admit of much trimming. The little bonnet covered with plush, shown In the second picture, has a crown In the shape. The plush is fitted smoothly over crown and brim. This model is made of black plush with facing of light blue ribbon, side-plaited. There is a sash and knotted tie of the same ribbon for trimming. But what 'delights the eyes of the little wearer most is the little cluster of blue and pink ostrich feathers, regular baby plumes, which is mounted at the left and near the back of the bonnet. Much velvet ribbon and many simple fancy feathers are featured in children’s millinery. Girls of all ages have been carefully considered and amply provided for in the new season’s styles by those who specialize and make only headwear for them. Bright colors and rich fabrics have been perfectly managed and children’s millinery Is more interesting and more attractive than ever.
