But now the panoply of plumes is to be torn from the head of the fashionable fair and dark and if the" milliner is to be obeyed the women who have for eo long been trying to rival a wild Indian chief tola will now take a nun for their model, In the matter of headgear at any rate. But it will be a nun with a differ ence for daring instead of demure is this close framing of the face anc balr, and in place of fair white brow there' is a banding of shimmering liver lace, bordered with a line of light and diamonds. Of course, only the woman or, in fact, the girl with a perfectly oval face should adventure upon its close silhouetting in this way, but, granted the beauty of, the wearer, the provocative allurement of the head dress is undeniable and delightful. It Id easy to imagine, too, how wonderful an all-black "nun" head tows . would look on Madonna faced girl, exquisitely fair of skin and with dead gold hail. Altogether tUn are distinct and decorative oeifblUUaa in the mw creation of aenaatioo. Bats are admittedly and an dtmbtedly growing larger, and per bap lovelier, too. Bat that the small hat is by no mean dethroned if proved conclusively and pleas antly by a new "Lewis" model, as worn by one of the prettiest of Paris ian actress os. Only the brim it of velvet, the crown feeing frst a soft semi-transparency of black ooreopbane, against which and here every petal shows up in striking relief are clustered sons wtiite sod golden-hearted mar-' guerttes and a couple of roses wbtts and pars.

' ' " . , . Lady Duff-Gordon's Paris establishment brings her into close touch with that centre of fashion. ' - Lady Duff-Gordon's American establishment k at Nos. 37 and 39 West Fifty-seventh street. New YorkGty- "' - ' used alone or together A great contrast to tne'plnk tulle bat f have lust described is the "chauffeur's" hat of black velvet, with its curious leaning plume. The instant I saw it 1 thought of the Eiffel Tower, and lo. it was named.' This is a trying shape perhaps, but given large dark eyes and fluffy hair a woman may wear It unchallenged. ' One of the strangest and yet Indi vidual arrangements of the hair is shown In the lower picture. Parts calls this' the -Pussy-Wussy" ear ring. "FuKy-Wuizy" being consid ered by Parisians to be a perfectly proper "Americanism." These rings are made of the hair twisted about a bit of the thinnest ot gold wire. - This v'elour hat with its stunning ostrich fancy , is one ot the latest models, and one, I am sure, that will prove a great favorite with the ultra : fashionable woman. - ' , Of the making ot hats there ts no end. nor of the making of delightful handbags.' The bag of the Autumn must, match 'the costume in color, end . to be absolutely 'correct it ' should bo; made of the gowi mats--: rial, "joe present cheapness .of the ' ' Oriental embroldeTies has led , the , smart woman-to .discard her bag of ; these most charming fabrics. ' By Lady Duff-Gordon ("Lucile"). Because it not, I can tell you what to choose an exquisite affair ot pink tulle in that three-cornered shape which when set at the correct angle on the head Is so deliclcusly Jaunty and becoming, and whKU is asata f : which demands the accompaniment of a rather smart gown of channeuse and nlnon or lace, so it you feel more ; inclined toward a "sweet simplicity" ;, style of attire yon should tlx on a hat of soft white telt, the brim so upturned as to reveal an underlln-, lng of powder blue crepe de chine, whils the almost Inevitable touch of tulle Is In this case transferred to . the crown, where it forms an encir cling kUtlrg. held in place by a trail of white wheat-ears. There Is. too. an upstanding sheaf of these decorative things at one . side, and peeping out from their midst one full-blown rose of delicate pink, with a spray of fresh green - leaves. So I can imagt.ie the hat looking quite- lovely can't youT- worn by a pretty fair-haired girl, whose gown of ' the finest white ' chiffon or marquisette is arranged wtth three deep and closely pleated skirt flounces, ths cross-over cor sags being sashed with blue, and one longstlked pink rose being etuck in the girdle. The two extremes of fabrics meet in the hate of the moment. Just as in the gowns. Tulle, thst most fragile of all materials, and velvet, ths most durable, are the favorites, doubly so in this case by a soft os trich feather bordering' to the up turned brim, and the further finish of one Jong plume, which sweeps tar outwards and then upwards at the back. ' ' ' The whole dainty thing is so far In the one faint and fascinating shade ot pink, but thers is finally tucked away at ths base ot that soft ostrich feather a little cluster ot black-pet-ailed and golden-hearted marguer ites. And so ths whole effect is in creased by the contrast. I like, too, the union of tulle and feathers, and, altogether, thlj is a . bat to wear when "all's well with the world" end the weather and to make you stlU better pleased wltV . . . both. But ot course also it is hat j lei. . Lace and Chrfoo Boudou Gown, with the . New Clow Fitting Cap. ... m V;- f Bd ' 0 T s
