HEADGEAR FOR FALL

IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT SUMMER STANDARDS WILL PREVAIL. Artist and Correspondent Thia Week Devote Moat of Their Attention to Fashionable Hats, Though Cloaks and Gowns Are Briefly 8p ikes Of.

New York correspondence:

N a few stores are given hints of the shifts in millinery that will come with the change to much cooler days. In many more establishments the reigning suggestion given by stock and salesfolk is that summer standards

will pretjail away up to late autumn. A majority of all the fall hints are in outing headgear. Gray and fawn felt hats of the alpine and rounded sailor order will be very fashionable for general outing wear. They are trimmed with scarfing of vari-colored or plain silks, pompons, birds, breasts and coque feathers. The pompons are feathery or are shaped of little coque feathers with black or white beads sewed to the points. The new shades of brown jn these pompons are very swagger and look well on either grays or tans. The untfimmed alpine is

again seen aid will be worn mainly for golfing and wheeling. Many hats are trimmed with white, which will be unusual for early fall wear. New stitched felt hats on the rough rider order may be worn with or without trimming. The stitching is done in several shades of silk and is a distinct change from white or self-colored stitching. All the delicate shades are available for this stitching, and enough of them are employed in the single hat to effect a novel appearance. Handsome hats made entirely of autumn leaves, with a knot of black velvet at the back or a large velvet bow in front, are a feature of the new fall millinery. The flat black chiffon and tulle hat knocked up at one side and filled in with a bunch of crushed roses is another popular model for early fall. The large Gainsborough picture hat with one or two immense plumes is to be carried over, and it is predicted that bye-and-bye the velvet hat will take its place. Plumes of all sizes in black and gray are to be stylish for fall and winter wear. Long plumes beginning under the brim at oae side and extending around the crown make a very becoming effect on a large hat, especially if it is black. The marquise hat is another model that will be popular, and inch and narrow black velvet ribbon for bows at the back will be effective trimming. A few of these hats in which fall and summer almost blend are set here by the artist. In the small picture is a white

straw whose double brim was filled with black velvet ribbon, large bunches of button roses coming atop these. Iu the left hand upper corner of the next picture ia a taque of black and white draped net trimmed with a pair of white wings, j

Across the picture is a white tulle hat trimmed with pink crush roses, and below the first is one of the green leaf toques topped by a spreading black velvet bow. A toque of black horsehair straw is seen at the right of this, and the central hat was black fancy straw, with black velvet, three black plumes and one white plume for trimmings. Flowers and green leaves will not lose popularity for fall trimming, and black and red cherries will be used a deal on the soft horse hair straws. It is hinted pretty strongly even at this early day that the swagger thing in wraps is to be on the long coat order. Very elaborate ones are seen already. Some are modifications of the automobile and the raglan, but in most cases and in the more stylish models the severe plainness of the garment’s original is trimmed almost out of sight. At the right in the next picture is a handsome, coat of tan taffeta. It was appliqued with brown silk and finished with biscuit chiffon ruffling. 'The other pictured coat was biscuit etamine, with front pieces of white silk embroidered in silver. Raglan-like coats for traveling or general wear will be of plain cloth, the seams either stitched or banded with folds of the goods. A lace collar may be added if it is desired. In millinery, wraps and gowns delicate shades make an impressive shoufing. Here and there bright red is seen, but delicate colors are used a great deal. A noticeable feature is the medley of tints in a new pink. It is very rich and striking without being offensively conspicuous. It is seen in the latest millinery and is used effectively when velvet of this shade is employed ns a band around the crown with loops and a knot at the

back on a black lace or Neapolitan straw hat. Another shade that seems to have come around again is the copper tint. A gown of it holds the middle of the concluding picture. Veiling was the material, black taffeta folds and green velvet tabs trimming it. This copper tint is a very acceptable addition to the list of available colors, but it is not becoming to everyone.
