All the smart girls in New York are wearing them that way. She bought some new little hats at one of the specialty shops in the theatrical district and she is ready to argue the matter with any one who still thinks it !s the fasihon to wear hats down on_the forehead.

Are hats going to be worn high up in front, are eve-brows @gain going to be visibie? There has been—unmistakably—a vogue for the little hat that rounds up in front, to show the evebrows and the forehead. It has had considerable popularity with young women whom we still re- fer to as flappers for lack of a better name. Rut there have been innumer- ahle very well dressed American wom. | plish shades.

For in sooth | this seems to be the pavchological mo- | ment for these two colors and there are women who have never worn purple before in their lives and who may not do mo again, who are wear- ing a purple frock or a purple hat this Autumn—perhaps not the popu- lar pansy purple, but one of the pur- The dark rich greens are alwa offered for our choosing in the Au-| tumn, but we usually pass them by, under the fmpression that they are | rather unbecoming.

Interestingly enough in a when colors have been stressed as much as they have been at the present time and when the prejudice against high_colors has been removed to %0 great an extent, the fact remains, or rather fs cropping up persistently, that black hats are amazingly well liked at the present time by the moat smartly dressed women. The mil- liners will tell you that there is more demand now for black hats than there was last October. After all it fs almost impossible to persuade a French woman that she does not need | at least one black hat in her ward.| never cease to be in good repute. * ke w YO(' may have heard ft sald that the cloche shape was a thing of the past—passed and gone and done for with no milliners to lay a wreath on its grave or drop a briny tear or two. Verily 1t no longer occuples the| place of pre-eminence it did 18 months | ago. when say “hat” was almost always to say “cloche,” for women | seemed to know of no other shape. | But there are still cloches—that is, | bell-shaped hats. Now they simply occupy a place in a rather varied list of other shapes. They are no more nor less important than capelines, toques, beretlas, pokes, turbans or tricornes. { ish STAR, WASHINGTO ‘There strong tendency this sea- son to show an upturned bit of brim at_the back. There are fairly large poke-shaped hats that.do this and there are capelines with sides wide all around, but turned up in the back. Then there is & new type of cloche— a cloche all around and a quite con- servative cloche, save for a bit of up- turned brim in the back. But while you hear much about the hats turned up in the back you also hear about the hats that are turned up in front, leaving a fairly deep brim at the back. There ar some interesting evening hats of this persuasion. You may know—and you may not— that at the fashionable French re- sorts and to some extent here this Summer women have been wearing quite large felt or velour sport hats— much like the felt sport hat that we have had for seasons, save that it is a8 large us a cowboy's hat. It s soft anad pliant, however, and can be given a rakish look by turning the brim up on one side or the other. These large felt hats—that truly are charming after our smull, narrow-brimmed felts ~—have been discarded by many fash- fonable women for the cool weather. But they will unmistakably loom large in the millinery fashions for Palm Beach and other resorts where fashionable folk go after the first of the year. The beret or beretta is a shape that is always liked by French women— posaibly because they find it o be- coming. Molyneux has had much to do with this shape for Autumn and now they are talking of beretta crowns piaced on cloches and beretta crowns on turbans. It is the soft tam- o'-shanter crown that makes such atrong appenl Other shapes there are that deserve notice in the Autumn's showing of hata—the pirate shape dear to the heart of the college girl and the flap per—the tricorne, always a favorite with the conservative women of fash- fon, helmet toques and Robin Hood shapes—also & favorite with the younger women. There are mousque- taire shapes and Henry VI shapes and Louls XVI shapes—these last three having graceful rolling brims—and Jane Blanchot, distingulshed French milliner, has a new poke shape of Vic torian inspiration that she calls a cab- riolet. x5 % x RESSMAKERS are using velvet, velveteen and velvet brocade lav- ergo, milliners must offer velvet and plush hats. That is the way one observer puts {t—claiming none of the initiative in this velvet fashion for the makers of hats. The fact 18 that more yards of velvet have been used by the mil liners than ever before in the history of the world, and proportionately many more velvet hats are offered by the smart milliners now than in many seasons past. It may be, of course, that the reason behind it all— the thing that prompted hoth dress makers and milliners —{s the marvel- cus improvements that manufacturers have recently made in the making of velver The new velveis are to the standard velvet of u decade or so ago what the present day artificlal flowers are 1o the conventlonal artificial flower that we knew in our childhood If our hats and frocks are far more ' charming than those of our mothers' D. 0, OCTOBER 4 OF PLIU JAPANES H.
