many lovely creations, large
and small, quaint and
smart, hare the milliners
designed for our delight:
during the last two seasons
that it seemed almost out of the ques
.tkn that even Paris could offer any
thing new for Fall. Yet here they
Ore -with -as, the new models, seem
ing, a ever, smarter aad more bravely
fine titan the -old. Also, alas, they are
10 unlike any former fashions that
rwoflettlBg hurt year's hat for This
year Is altogether out of the question.
The most radical departure from all
recent aalKMry precedent is the very
high, poiated crown,' narrow brim,
"Pierriot" sbape, which is the real
atyie aete f the day. These crowns
are rarely lias than ten, inches in
height; ad Tery often onore. They
are very aarrow, even, at the base, and
taper to a rounded or flattened conical
top. rThe brims are ,aetsally piached
la a poke across the front, or at the
back, and sojsetioaes they are ,poked
at both sides, being plain, back and
front. This high, narrow, conic or'
Piecriot" shape is a very practical
ne, as it fits the head well. It is de
signed to be worn, withoat Tats, puffs
r aay distended, artificial coiffure ar-raBcement
These old-fashioned bonnets are some
times edged about with fringe, a
trimming in perfect barmony with
their lines. They are usually made of
velvet, and the sheltering brims are
lined or faced with taffeta, or satin.
Velvet, by the way, is the material
par excellence for the fashionable
winter hat. It is used both on pressed
and hand-made shapes, alone and in
combination with satin, taffeta, hat
ter's plus and fur felt Uncut velvet
is a novelty, both for hats and trim
mings, Tery rich in appearance, but
more resembling cord silk than ordi-i
nary velvet
All kinds of silks and velvets are
employed in the, fashioning of winter
hats and bonnets, satins, corded silks,
moires, and plushes having been rein
forced by the advent of taffeta, Into
the millinery field. The vogue of taf
feta gowns, trimmed witb fringes,.
which took Paris by storm during the
late summer, h& given an impetus to
this fabric for winter millinery. Hats
lof felt and velvet are faced with taf
feta, and taffeta is sometime pressed
upon the upper Bides of hats "with felt
or velvet facings.
French crepe is new as a material
for hat facings, and affords a delight
fully soft and becoming background
for. the face. The .head sizes of the
new hats remain large, and though a
bit closer than1 of late seasons, they
still allow the hats to sink well over
the face.
For all practical purposes this will
be quite a ribbon season, as 'very -wide,
plain and fancy ribbons are used ex
tensively as trimmings for hats of all
kinds. Particularly is this true of the
new, high-crowned, narrow-brimmed
hats, which are very generally trammed
with ribbon. Ribbons show some
very handsome new, double-faced ef
fects, the reverse 'side of brighter hue
appearing in a. band upon the upper
side of darker color. These ribbons
are trimmed about the new high
crowns, fold upon fold, with these
bright edges at each fold, and meeting
in a. blag ae&m in front. The crown
is thus entirely covered, and at the
back risea a wired crest of ruffled rib
bon, in plume effect, very full and
fluffy, and upstanding to an even
greater height than the crown of the
hat. Velvet and silk are also arranged
on tbeaa hats, in the same fashion as
ribbon, or in short, sharp, up-standing
bows, covering the crowns and simu
lating wings.

AUTUMN EXHIBIT OF
ERNESTS MILLINER Y
We cordially invite the ladies of El Paso
jaM vicinity to inspect our display of
Smart Hats for immediate wear Paris
and New York designs, along with clever
conceptions by our own artists, will" be
of interest to every admirer of pretty
Millinery. Black, white, coronation pur
ple and royal blue are prime favorites
today in New York and Paris. 'WTiite
Hats are in high favor, and our showing
is beautiful, in all grades and correct
shapes. J
Children's Millinery-Fall Styles
Special attention is given ths depart
ment and there is always distinction and
individuality in Ernest's Hats for chil
idren. Just now we are selling School
Hats at remarkably low prices.
Ernest's Millinery,
215 San Antonio Street
N
effects, are an almost universally pop-
ular form of trimming for hats of all
descriptions. Ostrich plumes, of the
French variety, or uncurled, bave re
placed the drooping willows. With
the sale of aigrettes prohibited in this!
country, various substitutes are being
devised that will give the ame effect
f of feathery spray.
Very "pointed wing effects - prevail,
and on the new conic or clown hats,
they are trimmed all about the crown
with points upstanding. Whole, conic
crowns of masses of small wings are
another favorite arrangement
Ostrich bands are often used to cover
the high crown with a finish of up
standing French tips at side or back.
.Cootie f eather are again the mode and
are being wired and braced into all
'manner of upstanding -cocade effects.
Paradise feathers, too, are again
high style, and will therefore no doubt
be even more expensive than formerly.
Very few flowers are used, though
one sees a few velvet pansiee and
clusters of velvet fruits. Some huge
poppies and roses are employed to
form the entire crowns of high hats,
the petals extending downward upon
the brims. These mammoth Sowers
are all of a foot across, and in uncut
velvet they are decidedly handsome.
Wool embroideries and wool ap
plique, -in soft, bright colors, are
sometimes applied on hand-made hats.
They are especially pretty on the deep
brim of the quaint, old-fashioned poke
bonnet
As to colors, hats are quite gener
ally modest, purples, prunes, browns,
greys, navy and black predominating,
with touches of royal ble, emerald
green and coronation red, a deep cer
ise, in the trimmings. Kany amart
hats are all in dark, dull tooes, alH
black, grey, navy' or navy and' greyt
combined, and plain -xaspe. Sotatffew

First Exhibition Autumn 1911
Dress and Tailored Hats
The competitive scheme under which we live causes many ups
and downs. Really, life today is a survival of the "fittest.''
Milliners, tfor example. Their game is swift a fight for your favor.
Just now the see-saw of fame ifts a certain Parisian model to the
very pinnacle of ' popularity enjoying fcremendous vogue in Paris,
Vienna and New YotjcA,,
And why?
No one knows. Success such as that which these models now
enjoy cannot be explained. It admits not of analysis, and like a
woman's love, passes all understanding. Briefly, it is the Prome
thean spark of genius!
We announce today the arrival of & select group of these p&r
ticular models. New shapes, new styles where are the new words
ito describe them? One particularly charming model harks to
medieval days, a flagrant copy of the hats worn by the Tudor
guardsmen, who walked behind the king's carriage in the coronation
parade. A plume, royally purple, lifts itself over the crown The
shape is small.
Fetching? Bather. A hundred others. '
