No matter how old her frock, with a charming new hat which she knows is utterly becoming a woman is ready and willing to face the world. And how lovely the new hats are. While there are general rather definite style tendencies, still the range of styles is broad enough that you may choose a hat which is quite the best suited to your type. Of course, the small hat is a great favorite for winter. The whole effect is so chic when one sees a jaunty little hat poised above a huge fur collar and ready to meet the winter quite untroubled by blustering winds. And the small hats of this winter offer such a wide selection both in style and material for your most particular choice. The toque, whether it be of velvet or felt or duvetyn, is very popular. Some of these toques are unbelievably small giving the appearance of a handkerchief bound closely about the head and fastened with a fantastical rhinestone pin. These tight little toques are generally seen in a solid color—preferably black, which shows off the gleaming pin to such advantage. However, if you find it more be- And More Small Hats Another, and perhaps even more popular version of the small hat is one with a tiny brim which is some times turned up a little in front and at others turned sharply down like a poke bonnet. If one chooses one of these little hats in felt, it may well achieve great smartness by having a coque feather wending its way down from the brim over the fair wearer's shoulder. There is a certain jauntiness about coque which no other feather can copy. That is why they are worn with a tailored frock or suit. A very clever new way is to combine coque with a few strands of ostrich. If you choose to have your small hat of velvet or duvetyn, the feather trimming is apt to be more elaborate. They may be graceful ostrich feathers which sweep down from the brim over the shoulder. Quite as often however, the feathers are found right at the front of the crown. But you will be very smart if you choose to have at the side of your hat a feather ornament which closely resembles the wise old owl. To Complete Your Costume Sometimes it seems as though the whole problem of the smartly dressed woman lay in choosing just the right effective background of a well cut frock, one's personality may be beautifully expressed in smartly tasteful little accessories. And fortunately they are unusually lovely this year. Ear rings are worn more than ever this season. And they are larger than ever—if that sounds possible to you. Cut steel, all the gloriously colored semi-precious stones, intricately carved gold, shower ear rings with a tiny pearl on the end, of each of many fine, short gold chains, plain pearl drops or elaborate wide ear rings—all are good. The only rule seems to be that the ear rings of some sort or another you must wear if you would be smart. And the wise woman follows only one guide in choosing her ear rings—becomingness. And the bracelets! There is nothing unusual in seeing a slender, pretty arm with from ten to twenty of them. And they are so attractive with the sleeveless frocks.

The New Colors The woman who really dresses well is the one who knows the value of having hat, shoes, gloves and frock each a part of a harmonious whole. In fact, that is the main, perhaps the only, secret of smartness. So what ever colors we may say are good the only way to buy a hat is to choose it with the thought of the frocks. So if it is becoming, it is well to have at least one of them in your winter wardrobe. The large hats this year have a very short brim in the back. It gives them so much more style, and of course, makes them much more comfortable with the fur scarf or high fur collar. Sometimes these hats are trimmed with softly draped Spanish lace which lends such fascination when it falls a few inches over the brim. Now and then one sees a long chiffon veil caught on the side of the crown with a lovely buckle and falling gracefully over the shoulder. But quite as often as not these hats are trimmed with graceful feathers which either fall from brim or are gathered at the front of the crown. MARY MILLE Smart Wear for 220 East Center Street The New Colors The woman who really dresses well is the one who knows the value of having hat, shoes, gloves and frock each a part of a harmonious whole. In fact, that is the main, perhaps the only, secret of smartness. So what ever colors we may say are good the only way to buy a hat is to choose it with the thought of the frock or frocks with which you intend to wear it, well in mind. And right here lies the value of choosing a becoming color and wearing it in all your frocks throughout the season. Unless your expenditures is unlimited, it is the only way in which you can be quite sure that whatever you wear, all your accessories will be just the thing for it. However, the most popular colors for fall are on the brown tones. That is, every color from brown, fawn, champagne and tan to the brightest of orange. Black is always good and this fall it is an especial favorite. American Beauty is such a warm becoming shade that it is often chos- MARY MILLE Smart Wear for 220 East Center Street Presents the Authentic Hair Costume in earrings, all types are good from the slender flexible bands to huge wide ones. But quite the most popular are the thick rounded circlets which are worn in all imaginable colors as well as carved ivory. Quite popular too, are little tinkling bracelets of gaily colored glass. For the Hair It is very seldom, now-a-days that one sees an unornamented colfure, especially in the evening. For those who find smooth hair, dressed close to the head, becoming, there are stunning Spanish combs. Some are of solid bright colors while others are of shell set with brilliants. But this season one comb, no matter how large is never considered enough. A pair of them are worn as a rule. They are always put exactly opposite each other. These combs are frequently set straight across the back of the head but, if it is more becoming, one is worn a little higher than the other. You will find the balanced effect of these combs utterly charming. The ever becoming bandeau is still a great favorite. And perhaps one reason for its continued popularity is that it holds the hair just in place during an entire evening of dancing so that the ideal of the fastidious woman may be realized— pair of them are worn as a rule. They are always put exactly opposite each other. These combs are frequently set straight across the back of the head but, if it is more becoming, one is worn a little higher than the other. You will find the balanced effect of these combs utterly charming. The ever becoming bandeau is still a great favorite. And perhaps one reason for its continued popularity is that it holds the hair just in place during an entire evening of dancing so that the ideal of the fastidious woman may be realized—to leave a party looking just as attractively trim as when she arrived. Gold or silver ribbon, often flower trimmed, is very popular for these bandeaux, but quite as often one sees bandeaux of white or colored crepe de chine to match the frock. Chain and More Chains Of course, many and varied are the chains and necklaces of colored stones which are seen this fall. And while the "choker" necklace of large stone worn close about the throat is quite the newest, it has by no means dimmed the popularity of the longer chain which is so attractive with the simple long waisted blouse of today. When the chains and ear rings match and the bracelets harmonize, a truly stunning effect can be gained. The gauntlet glove is quite at the height of the fall mode whether it is worn with a suit of a sleeveless afternoon frock. But this year the wide cuff is turned down over the wrist to show the gay decorations which are to be found on the inside of the cuffs of the newer gauntlets. In fact the attempt to make the glove meet the short sleeve of a frock has been given up as hopeless, so even when long gloves are worn they are seen crushed and wrinkled on the arm and coming only half way to the elbow. And the gaily colored, tiny chiffon handkerchiefs are still with us—in fact they might be said to be just coming into their own. And how fascinating it is to see these gay bits of color peeping from the tiny pocket of a frock or fastened to a slim wrist. They give a woman such an opportunity to show her ingenuity in eleved color-combinations. And what a charm of sophistication they lend the costume. Plain Dealer Want-ads bring results.
