TULLE STILL FAVORITE

MOST PROMINENT FEATURE OF THE FALL MILLINERY. Will Be Used In Many Ways and on All Kinds of Materials—Lace in Combination With Velvet Popular.

By MARY DEAN.

Tulle seems a diaphanous staff to cope with equinoctial breezes, but nevertheless tulle is the striking millinery feature for the fall. Yards and yards of the airy material are swathed around and over the crowns of autumn hats and plaitings and puffings of tulle are massed over hatbrims, the contrast between the delicate tulle and the denser velvet of which most of the new hats are now fashioned being very effective, if the

Iqast bit inconsistent. Such quantities of-tulle are being used that the woman who is planning to build her own autumn hat this Season will do well to lay in a stock of the desirable stuff early in the game.

Lace is much In Black Velvet. In’vogUe in combination with velvet. Some of the models just brought over from the other side have wired brims of black lace with crowns of velvet, or crowns of lace with velvet brims. Ribbons also play an important part In fall millinery, and every sort of ribbon is fashionable, from narrow moire bands and bows to wide ribbons, which are formed into huge, wired butterfly loops. Gora and peacock feathers seem to be replacing the delicate Numida which was a veritable frenzy last season, and many of the new models show simple quills, smartly arranged In crossed - effect, or placed side by side in a cluster. Wings are fashionable also, though the "broken wing” effect —that is, one wing sweeping upward *nd the ether drooping downward —is how the modish arrangement. Close brimmed effects framing the face and hair becomingly, are the

favorites for early wear with tailored trotter frocks and autumn suits. All hats rest well down on the head, and the hair is dressed low, covering the ears and having a coil or roll at the back of the head, under the hat brim. The small, aristocratic head is now the ideal

of fashion, and hat shapes and coiffures alike conform to this ideal. A sensational new shape is the visor cap, which is really no more than a round, or oblong turban fitting the head closely and having a small, down-turning visor over the nose. These hats have usually puffed crowns of velvet. A model of the type Illustrated was shown at a smart shop on Fifth avenue, Manhattan. The model was of black velvet, the brim was turned sharply up at the back and held in place by two upstanding uncurled cerise ostrich feathers. The front brim was turned down directly at the front, surrounding the crown was a narrow black velvet tied in a small flat bow at the front.
