Dressy Headdress for Little Girls

Tailored hats, sports hats, and plain hats, for every-day wear, start the season in September, but with October comes the time when all members of the family rejoice in the acquisition of dressy mill inery. The milliner is overwhelmed with orders, “for everyone, from grandma to the littlest sister, wants a pretty hat.and is in a hurry for it. The milliner’s worries are lessened if her customers come in with some definite Idea in mind and are not all at sea as to what they really want. Here are three pretty hats for little misses, which may help out in making a choice. They are all simple, childish designs, and they are the last word in dress headwear for little folks; At the left a dignified lady of eleven wears a hat with a crown of black velvet. Its droopy brim is covered with blue satin ribbon gathered along the edges. The brim facing is of blue satin also, and the brim edge is bound with a soft fur which looks Just enough like chinchilla to be called by Its name-, A piece of the satin ribbon Is laid over the crown and caught at the front with a cluster of leaves and little flowers. It ends at the back with a bow having banging loops and ends. At the right the pretty maid of five Is pleased over the possession of a white velvet hat edged with white fur. It is brightened with a rosette of ribboa and a few small flowers at the left side. The roguish girl of five, at the top of the group, wears a demure hat of gray velvet with a fiat velvet bow at the back. It is trimmed with a novel

ornament like a strand of fuzzy silk heads on a chenille string. For very little girls there are bonnets of white fur, wd'rn with white fur coats and the tiniest muffs. It is a fad of the season to make the coat, hat? and little muff all of the same material. Wool velours, Bolivia cloth, velvet and other popular materials are used,. and smocking or shirring are effective in them.
