Practical Hats?-School Blouses The hat for a school girl should h* t a simple one, which can be quickly ad-j justed without the aid of the mir row, I if necessary. Tor this reason live plnlnj little hats of plush and Austrian valour have the first call. They com- in a largo variety of shapes, so that each face may be becomingly framed. One of: thd most universally becoming Is that T.-ith the rounded crown and narrow,j lolling brim. This need only bo trim- i med with a band of ribbon encircling the crown nnd a flat pump how across the front. Pome of the jauntiest ours have noj trimming other than the hand of gros-1 grain ribbon around the crown. They arc ao delightfully sot: and flexible thnt the wearer can bend Or Iwlst them as she wishes, and the young school girl has generally very decided Ideaa what she considers smart and l.om ing. The ever popular sal!...- j.s shown In various materials, velours and hattor'H I Inah h-lnu: Iwo of the newest types. A smart sailor of black hatter plush was trimmed around the crown with a band of white suede, ornamented at each side with a white soutache brain ornament, lira hied bands arc used ? x tenslvely up hats for the young girl, sharing Ihi popularltj of ribbon. Many of the i ofi French tell hats In white and colors havo their crownn NWalhed In folds of silk or ribbon with Jaunty hows of various descriptions at do Bids, generally well toward tho, back. A charming on? In iin oyster uhlto felt was trimmed In this Wttl with purp!? rfi)bon. showing a white, pleot edge. Two loops of tho ribbon weir drawn through a buckle of the, ribbon at the side, with the two ends allowed to [all on to the hair. Another new method of trimming Is tho dog's ear of ribbon or satin. One chic, hat of brown plush, with u round crown ana brim rolling npwmd all around. w:is trimmed on the left side by a dog's car of cahary-colOrtd satin, lllouses to Mutch.

Many glrlj wear tho white blouses they have worn nil the summer, but white sells quickly and Is. therefore, not as trim and neat as the darket waist. The prettiest waists are those In silk, matching the skirt In color Satin, Charmeuse, taffeta, bengnllno or one oi the ii w ribbed silks or a eropy weave ma> be chosen. Grepc ic chine has nn excellent reputation for wear? ing well, arid generally makes good, These blouses are fashioned on the lilies of tho simplest shirts, with handkerchief pocket, front lap foe the buttons and long regulation shirt sleeves With BOft tUt'UOVer cliffs.' To wear with them are stiff, white collars or ribbon collars with linen or pique I turnovers, . < The Newest Thing in Clothes. Th* dressmaking claim are gather? ing, and by thla time opening* will be In full sw lug. Already Home of tho t-*ss aecretlv? Importers are giving to the elect glimpses of much that will figure In these Openings; end ns for the general buyers, tlvi town ha3 swarmed with them for weoka p nt. The lover of fashions, or rather of the things that go to mako up fash? ions, who misses the first skirmishes on the season's dring line ivies a good deal of enjoyment. After the dullness of midsummer, when the smartest frooks. no manor how bewitching, are Ilk* a taie that has been told, when roal novelties are a.i rare as the dodo In the srops. and when ouly tho occas? ional advanco showings In the whole? sale establishments and the rumors anent modus to come are of Interest to tho studtnts of fashion changes, there is something stimulating about the stir that runs through tho part of the world concerned with woman's dress wh^-n August slips Into September. Through lals AuguHt there has been a murmur in the air like the tuning up of Instruments before an orches? tra finds speech, but with September vague sounds grow Into music, vaguo rumors crystallite Into detinue modes. Home of Uio modes may not suggest melody. One must not strain a meta? phor too far. And sumo not r.ltogeth er melodious are of tho rag-tim.: var? iety, bat on tho whole, the season pro'.nlsos woil. and there will undoubt? edly be a large percejitage of wear? able frocks snown at the openings along with tho spectacular models that are a ounces..ion to the taste lor con? spicuous cflects prevalent among cer? tain all too lurgo classes of women. The most signal triumphs and tho hopeless faTiiirea tr. the new models. If one Is to trust to the early show? ing, will be associated with drapery. It Is always a lest, this drapery, a touchstone by which the artist may un? failingly bo differentiated from tho bungler, and whenever, as now. drap? ery becomes Increasingly important, a. distinguishing feature of the new fash Ion, there Is trouble ahead for those who make frocks and for ihos.; who wear thorn. Draperies are less bizarre, less try? ing, to the figure than they were In the spring w hen bouffant panniers were launched, but they are no less diffi? cult uf achievement. The pannier of the. spring was so extreme that one hardly e\pci.t.-d It to be becoming, but the drapery of the autumn essays to be graceful, becoming as well as chic. It swathes the tlgu:-> In lowing yet clinging folds. It leaves a comparative? ly straight Silhouette, but breaks Into odd fullnesses within that outline. Preach I rocks uf Silver lir<ic,,,ie. I Some, of the now models are little I drape.1 if at all. There are ono-pteco frocks that at iirst sight seems dis? tinctly familiar, but when one ex? amines I bom ono usually tlnds subtle differences between them, and the straight. scant. one-piece trotting frocks of last season. Tho outline may have changed little, but plaits have crept Into the skirt, or little rippling folds appear somewhere In the skirt length, er perhaps] It Is merely a slight? ly greater breadth in the limp straight falling skirt that works the differences 'twlxt the new suit and the old one. Home canny women who last spring read the handwriting on the wall cor? rectly will come buck to town wear? ing spring suits of frocks quite in tlio nutumti pictures. Not tin- radical pan? niers They have passed, as they were bound to pass, without having reached the majority, hut having accomplished their purpose end biased the way for less aggressive drapery and fullness. I'lqunnt pannlor models, model/, show? ing Hie short bouffant pannier are still shown b-. certain makers, but rather a;> period frocks than In an efTort to make them dominate present-day fashions. <"?n the other hand, everywhere one sees echo, s of the pannier, attenuated echoes, draperies that one can hardly call panniers, yet they hold a hint of pannier origin or Inspiration. These draperies fall long nnd limp, are drawn away but slightly from tho, front or are caught up but a trlflo hero or there. Ktlll there Is th" tendency to a foot line, narrower than the line above it. though In reality the new skirt may havi added foot w|dth, straight falling, flatly pressed pin - or limp folds.

Or perhaps the whole sktrt Is platt? ed, or has a plaited section, or Is trim? med In scant flounces, or has a flouno ed, plaited or clinging plain front with some sort of flowing train or plaits falling from the shoulder to provide the drapi ry. In evening frocks t!i?ro are many Chanmlng variations upon this Idea of the flowing drapery from shoulders or high girdle top, and delightful effect ? uro scoured by using chiffon, gnuse or fine laco in What may bo called modi? fied vyatteau fashion, son Wild plait.-* or breadths falling free from tho shoulders or from the shoulder bladca and cither merging Into train dr?p?ry or partly veiling a draped or flounced continuation of tho petticoat material, and tho draped ovorsklrt arc often ,if tho superb brocades or chameleon or molro or rich ono-tonc silks, while Hie petticoat is of sheerer stutt One beautiful Krench ftock, for example, has Its decollete bodlro and sottly draped oversklrt and train of rich white and silver brocade, astonishing? ly supple In spite of its Interwoven silver.
