ITII the coming or tne cimiy days millinery, that sensltiTe barometer of fashion, Is beginning to take on warmer hues and sturdier outlines.

The riPiwted remnants of the summer's

grandeur, with their faded flowers, limp brims, draggled ribbons or ragged wings have been relegated to the attic, and the early fall hat Is with us. In general form it bears a close resemblance to its summer cousin, being only one eeason removed. It is neither very large nor very small, and while the rolling brim effects, with medium crowntr, predominate, still the variety of small shapes Is so great that one will have no difficulty in being suited. There are the straight-brim sailors, bo trim and jaunty for street wear, trimmed with ribbon or wings; there are several new adaptations of the trlcorne style ; there are soft, big-crowned felts, and demure, drooping velours, as well as large turbans having somewhat modified Tam O'Shanter crowns and charming models for dressier wear built on excellent lines with slightly rolling brims, or brims upturned sharply to the front or side. For early fall wear the silk hat comes into its annual prominence, this

the brim at the side, and cunningly manipulated so that they curved up 1q most graceful tashlon over the brim, sleeping backward. ; This revival of under-brim trimming (which has been gaining in popularity felnce mid-summer will be a marked feature of the fall and winter millinery: Not only will airgrettes and plumes be Attached to the tinder side of sharply turned brims, but bunches of flowers will also be used and bows of ribbon or velvet Nothing could be more becoming than a velvet hat, Illustrating thjs fancy, in coquelicot, or poppy shades. The crown was in the soft Rembrandt style, and the brim, which was faced with a deep blue chiffon was turned up well toward the back. The only trimming was a close wreath ef-

BY RENE MANSFIELD year with added Impetus because of the great vogue for silk apparel which has by no means run its course. Taffeta will be tised, but molr6 is the fabric par excellence for these models. Especially smart are the white moire effects when trimmed with dashing bows or simulated wings of black velvet. That shirrings and puffs have not lost caste Is proved by the continued use of them on many of these new hats. A narrow shirred puff of black velvet ribbon bound the brim of a smart wnite moire seen In one of the shops the other day, and outlined the simulated wings of the moire, that were placed at the left side and pointed backward. A sailor shape in dark blue moire was attractively trimmed with a pleated brim binding of bluish green ribbon, of the popular picot-edge variety. The same pleating encircled the crown and was formed into two quill like ornaments that were laid flatly across the side front. Ribbons and wings will play an Important part in the trimming of the fall hats. Many novelties In ribbon have appeared this season which are well adapted to clever use on the tailored or even semi-dressy hats. Moire rihborr. hnre first place, those feet of velvet poppies which was carried around the crown and over the brim at the back, to end in a tight bunch on the. brim just above the hair. Another striking revival, in the way of shapes, is the flat shovel shape hat, with no crown. The brim of this is short in the front but ascends toward the back, where it extends considerably over the Iralr. The back is often filled in with lopped libbon or flowers and the top trimming usually consists of folds of silk or velvet, or sweeping Birds of Taradise. After the riotous colors of the spring and summer months the deep, subdued colorings that are favored for fall and winter wear in millinery come somewhat as a relief. Soft shades of blue, deep reddish plum, chocolate brown,

having cable or cord edges being preferred. White, with a black edge, is much used, while the narrow, cordedged taffetas are also In good style. Wings and fancy feather ornaments are very prominent. Vulture quills, thrust through the crown of a white felt hat formed its only trimming, and the effect was striking and chic. Pheasant tails are particularly smart on the strictly tailored hat, but a woman should study well her height, figure and face before she selects such a hat, because no style of trimming lends itself so readily to caricature. Extremely good-looking was a model of this character in the latest sailor style having a rounded, medium crown and slightly rolled edges which was made from a deep, reddish purple molrg, and had two purple pheasant tails spring from a tiny tailored bow directly In the front, at the base of the crown. Airgrettes, plumes and other wing trimming show a decided tendency to backward angles. Many of the dressier models have the plumes arranged so that they curl over the brims ; indeed one handsome Importation with a sharply upturned brim had two long plumes fastened to the under part of nickel grey, myrtle green, linden green, ! a shade called Jacque rose, wistaria j shades and bronze colorings these are well represented in the millinery spectrum for frosty days. Before you venture into the emporiums of bewitching, bewildering millinery, you will do well to study carefully your face and general style and their requirements. And, whereas, it is permissible, nay, desirable to match your suit or your gown, or your coat, be particular not to match your face. You have seen them, I'm sure women whose hats matched their faces. If your face inclines to the broad, heavy type, fight shy of the broad, squatty hat of no particular outline. If your face is narrow and thin, beware of the hat that turns up or down

A FEW HINTS Middle-aged women in selecting fall bonnets should beware of the creation that gives one the Idea of having a long face. Most any sort of a hat is becomiiig to a person with a round, full face. A number of the shops are showing some very pretty little toques. A modest feather usually adorns these little hats. Rolling rims seem to be quite popular although a number of women are complaining that these hats ere not becoming to older persons. No doubt they will be much worn by young girls. A pretty felt hat in lavender was seen recently. It was very attractive. At the side was a rogish feather. This was the only trimming on the hat. Hats seem to be smaller this year than usual. Nearly ail the stores will have held their openings by the first of October.

at the sides, and eschew wings, especially if your nose is inclined to be sharp. If your chin is a good, strong chin, but with a slight tendency to protrude a little beyond the line of classic beauty, do not exaggerate it by a head covering that hugs your brow and sweeps out boldly behind. Notice the curve of your lips and the line of your eyebrows. If your mouth droops, do not accentuate it by drooping, pensive brims. If your nose is what small brother calls a "pug," pass by the hat that turns square up In front. Only if you are beautiful perfectly, classically beautiful may you sally forth, 6hut your eyes, put anything upon your Lead and rejoice.
