By Lady Duff-Gordon (LUCILE") very small, very light and very heavy, very lovely and very ugly. ‘Whatever they are, they are very that. Ex- tremes are usual at the beginning of a sea- son, but there are indications that extremes will persist throughout this Autumn and Winter. § Hats are more impertinent than in pre- ceding seasons. They are saucy. both in shape and color. If impudence be lacking, the milliner adds that necessary concomi- tant by an audacious tuft of feathers. Seasons are the moods of tashions. There are demure .seasons, when all the products are dove-like and dpmun. There are sad seasons, as last Summer, when we saw everywhere the long draped veils that were signs of sympathy and understand. ing with the weeping widows of France and England. These long enveloping vells made every wearer look like & war widow. Not even the sauciness of the fabric, as transparent gauze, removed that effect. This season will be light-hearted. It is pre-eminently saucy. The hat is the index of the costume. Therefore we may judge a costume by the bat. It is easfly evident that we are at the threshold of a pert season. Note, for instance, the pert, frolicsome hat of fridescent beads. It is set tip sily over the eye of the wearer, as . though in a spirit « ~of defiant fun. It (\ma season reveals hats of infinite ’ variety., They are very large and is topped by a tuft of brilllant rose feathers.

Over this rests a similar but smaller bow. of ribbon, the ends of which extend beyond the brim at the sides of the hat that nearly touch the shoulders. The hat brim is bound by a broad band of the ribbon. Made of yellow lace, with orange ribbon, or white lace, with pink or blue bows, it is very ef- tective, and to whom it is becoming it is' most becoming. The third hat is a semi-poke. The wide brim that ia so effec- tive a frame for a young and pretty face is topped by a large, full crown of shirred taffeta. The hat {» constructed of bright orange velvet.
