THERB hai been an attempt thl year to Keep enureiy new laeai (all millinery In the baolt- rrouni In other wor Js, not to Allow the treat eenaationi In hat-wear to peep out of eeclualon prematurely. that Im, before the Important opening days in September. But woman must now have her autumn hai by mld Auguet; or must at least be making up her mind, about that time, aa to what ahe will appear In In the way of a head covering the moment Labor Day hai put the aeal of obloquy on all forma of summer millinery; ao oma hat have had to escape as hostages for the fall season, and nat urally Paris has seen to it that those thai have escaped are sufficiently new rAfld captivating to attract purchasers. Turbans, Sailors And Mushrooms. ) All the new fall hats may be dlvld . ed Into three classes: sailors,' turbans and mushrooms. Any one of these shapes may ( have a am crown, and the tarn crown Imposed on a mush room brim Is a feature of the early fall millinery. Two of the pictured hats show this idea, and one notes that the silhouette of these hats la quite decidedly new. The mushroom of black silk beaver with a tarn crown of old gold velvet is particularly new and Interesting and this pretty little shape should be becoming to most faces. The scoop brim settles down on the hair, yet the crown is well raised above the band of ribbon trim ming and the hat has sufficient height to be symmetrical. Still higher and incidentally a good deal , mora trying to the face. Is tijS&other model with rounded tarn crown bulging above a steep' mushroom brim. This hat Is made of black satin with soutache embroidery over the top of the crown. A ii . J Black ps.ri.Tie .Sailor. 'V Loops of soutache spring up between the Joining of crown and brim and an exaggerated silk tassel ornament gives a military note to the hat Soutache Decidedly The Hat Trim ming Now. ' The new hats do not appear to bo elaborately trimmed because the lines are kept so simple and unbroken; but there are rather... elaborate ..flat' trim mings In the way of soutache embroid ery, cross-stitch patterns in richly blended colors, chenille embroidery and bead bandings. The last named are accompanied by beaded hatpins and some of the hatpins support bead tassels which swing against the hat as a trimming motif when the pin Is adjusted. A Reboux model for au tumn restaurant wear Is of tjeige felt and velvet, the felt brim having a dashing, sombrero line and the velvet tam crown showing an allover pattern In self-tone soutache. There is abso lutely no trimming on this model ex cept the soutache. Chenille embroid ery, spoken of just above, is shown on one of the pictured hats. This Is a graceful sailor of olive colored vel vet with a self toned grosgrain ribbon around the crown and chenille em broidery in gold and olive on crown and brim. The young woman who likes sailor hats could not achieve a smarter effect than this, yet the hat Is so simple just a sailor with a bit of ribbon and a few strands of coarse wool embroidery! It Is a simplicity that counts for much, however. In style and ln distinction; this Is on of ue Dest nata on toaays page. Another graceful shape is pictured In the hat of black panne velvet. There Is a subtle curve to the broad sailor brim and the crown Is rather low but artistically balanced with the brim proportions. The cluster of roses and grapes in mauve and russet tones seems exactly the note of per fectlon needed to finish the hat. The pose of thfs hat on the head Is grace ful also, the brim dipping down at the front just enough to shade the eyes and tipping up at the back Just enough to show the hair. Turbans Have Becoming Lines. It Is not necessary to make a spec tacle of one's self in a tam or a mush room. If one hs a strong, forceful face which these coquettish styles do not become. There are turbans for Instance. And the new turbans for fall are particularly soft and graceful; they give the suggestion, of draped fabric over pliable and not rigid frames. There are small turban hats ok" felt, too, with narrow brims, that are very smart with tailored orna ments of grosgrain ribbon. Such hats are much more becoming to some faces than the picturesque mushrooms and tarns. The woman who wears glasses, for example, no matter how beautiful her countenance may be, should not, as a rule, affect a saucy tam hat. or a babyish mushroom one. It Is well to dress up to eyeglasses. They make a vast difference In the becomingness and suitability of a hat. Inevitably they add dignity if not years to the prettiest face and make pert and coquettish headgear look all wrong. There Is Just one thing that can make piquancy of expression sur vive a plnce nez and that is a re trousse nez, or as the French have It, a nes retrousse. The tip tilted nose simply cannot suggest dignity, though it has plenty of other charming sug gestions, good humor, vivacity, versa tility, kindliness, and so on; and she whose nes retrousse Is bestridden by ever-so-dignllled specs can usually wear mushroom hats, or tam o' aha ni ters, or floppy brimmed picture hats and hope to look well In them. The velvet turban illustrated Is one of the best of the new modejs. Against the high roll of the brim on the right side is a burnt ostrich ornament ons of the many new feather "fancies" that are evidently going to be so fashionable next season. There are oddly shaped wings, miniature fringes of burnt peacock, pompons of coq, and bands of pasted ooqu for mili tary hats. Two smart little fan shaped wings are shown on a new military turban or "service cap;" the "cap" of velvet and the visor brim of black satin, while a conical crown of satin rises from the center of the velvet "cap." There are many hats of felt in soft new shadings of olive, drab, gray, beige and so on. Gray Is a favorite color In millinery this year and some of the new gray felt hats with velvet crowns are beautiful. Slnoe so little trimming Is used. It Is possible to spend an extra amount on the hat Itself, and a good hat Is al ways a wise investment. Only exclu sive and high priced hats come in the most -desirable shapes and no cheap model is quite large enough or quite small enough to be really chic In its proportions. Cheap hats also are often sewed with cheap substitutes for silk thread, and silk thread Is very Important In a felt or velvet hat The cheaper thread fades and collects dust and ultimately robs the model of its good style. Sport Hats In Gay Autumn Colors. Tartan plaid sport hats are the very latest cry. They are made of tartan plaid wool In soft flexible shape, the' crown large and the brim rolling so that the hat may be dragged any-which-way on the head. The brim, rolled back In front, discloses a co quettish vteor of pleated velvet un derneath. This shades the eyes and adds a novel touch to the sport head gear. Many white hats are shown for the between-season beginning August fif teenth or thereabout and lasting until the formal millinery openings in Sep-' tember. One Is a white plush turban of rather distinctive shape. The only trimming Is a wee bow of black moire ribbon posed Just over one eye on the steep brim. The Coiffure's Correct Silhouette HERB Is a very important point to consider In the arrangement of the hair the silhouette or general line of the whole halr- dresslng irrespective of details. It matters not whether the hair is done" high or low, whether one wears a fringe,, or the brushed back. brow-revealing effect so fashionable at the moment One may wind long St Cecelia plaits around the head, or affect a fluffy knot at the crown- all this la a matter of Individual taste and personal becomingness; but the silhouette of the whole arrangement must conform to the lines Fashion prescribes at the moment or one will look hopelessly unmodlsh. There are strong and Individual characters who can adopt freakish halrdresslngs and as the slangy lit tle schoolgirl says: "Get away with It;" but the average woman does well to conform to fashionable lines, and It may be remembered always, that these lines can always be modified by personal arrangements of the tresses so that becomingness may be assured. For example, the head of fashionable woman looks rather small and delicate these days the ideal Is, one assumes. like a flower set exquisitely on Its stem." Two women ' may have their hair arranged In the same way, yet one will look very smart and well groomed, and the other commonplace and undistinguished. WhyT All a matter of silhouette I The tresses of both are parted at one side; the ears are covered with waved locks; at the back there Is a compact knot But one woman's hair has been brushed till if la satin-smooth, shampooed tin it is soft and fluffy of texture, waved with patience and dexterity till It tip ples evenly all over the head; and then drawn loosely back from the parting, over the ears into a knot placed exactly In the right place, not to make an excrescence on the line of the head from crown to nape. The other woman's hair because it Is not kept religiously brushed, has way ward ends and a tendency to separate Into dank locks. It Is hastily curled so that .the waves are angular and uneven Instead of rippling and smooth. And the waves are bulged , out at the sides over an artificial sup portprime sin against Fashion's mandate for the small, sleek head of the moment! Last and worst of all, the knot Is an inch too low, utterly spoiling the silhouette from a profile ylew.

Personal ambitions tempo i rarily relinquished, petty jealousies put aside, woman as a body, a glor ious, self-lmmolatlng unit Is marching under the great banner of the Red Cross to relieve, to succor, to help, fflaoso whose training and whose e strength will permit It are going - forth to help, as near the battle .lines as they can get; those who have duties at home that cannot be relinquished, are giving every mo ment of time that oan be spared to th task of helping those sisters who have the greater opportunity and without the helpers at home, the ln : trepld workers at the front would be . sadly put to it to carry on their work. - From all over this great land have com Is th returns money for the Red Cross; sums that expressed in many and many an individual case th slogan of Red Cross week In June "Help till it Hurts!" All over ' th land women are gathered togeth " or, hours of ach day. sewing, knit ting and otherwise working to send assistance to th units across the sea and to furnish 'comfort and succor to the soldiers to th men who are fighting and to th men who are suf fering nd to care for the loved ones : that these men have left at home. Taking ciro of th women and the children temporarily bereft or more hopelessly, permanently bereft of their sole support. Is an important part of Red Cross work. If you cannot knit sweaters and sleeping helmets for the soldiers, perhaps you can make little garments for wee babies and toddling children whose fathers have gone and whose mothers are sorely over burdened to provide for the little ones at home. The Red Cross needs every thing 'little frocks and coats, little stockings, petticoats and aprons. This work should be a labor of love to many a woman who protests that she "simply cannot learn how to knit" As for the knitters, they are legion and it Is wonderful how fast war knitting goes, when one carries a knitting bag always on one's arm so that the work may be picked up the Instant there is nothing else to engage the attention. One even sees women knitting in the department stores while waiting for parcels and change. And, en passant. Is there any more leisurely time to accomplish a rib or two or maybe several ribs? At least the assurance that such waiting mo ments are being turned to good ac count will save one's nerves from the fretting that usually follows exaspera tion of temper. If you decide to donate baby clothes to the nearest Red Cross unit I beg of you, donate good ones! It does seem that any Intelligent woman, wKh in structions In hand, might be able to turn out garments for little children; but a day spent at Red Cross head quarters, examining th contributions that come In, would bring you some surprises. Perhaps the makers of the small frocks and petticoats worked with the best Intentions sometimes the results of their efforts show that they also worked In a frenzy of speed to get their achievements finished and delivered! There are frocks with sleeves set in backwards and waist lines so small that any healthy three-year-old would be mightily pinched if buttoned into them. There are hems turned up and not turned in, so that the raw edge of fabric pro Jeot beyond the machine stitching. And as for buttons! Dozens of small garments arrive buttonless every day not only newly made garments but old ones donated to the Red Cross.. It seems incredible that anybody could be So mean as to frntp off buttons from a garment given to charity, but most workers In charitable organizations will admit that this form of "econ omy" is not unknown to them. If you have nothing else to donate to the Red Cross chapter in your town, con tribute your "family button bag" with its assortment of buttons in various sizes, and start a new collection on your own account In one Red Cross headquarters hangs a plainly printed sign which reads: "One well made garment is worth more to th Red Cross than a dozen garments that need alterations or repairs." Before making up a box of discarded clothes,' have every small garment carefully put In order, but tons added where necessary, repairs made, and a laundering given If the things are not perfectly fresh and clean. Perhaps you would be sur prised to see how many soiled and bedraggled little garments com to the Red Cross from, well-meaning (7) contributors. .
