HAUTE MONDE iV » EARING ine hat slightly to one \Y/ s,'," Is verv In omir.K to some fares. those with a dash of fun anrl coquetry In their expression Gainsborough's famous In chess of Devonshire is an instance, ne width of the brim adding piquancy to the Vv hole. But the present fashion of wearing the hat so one-sided that part of the narrow brim points to tbe •/.enith, while Its antipodes portion i sts upon the shoulder, is apt to he urotesqur* rather than picturesque, especially when the wearer has an air of solemn gloom as her natural expression—many of us have. A < lever w< man once wrote: "Never cry In a rose-colored hat.” The greater in. ludes the less, "Never look glum in a one-sided hat.” Though it is a fashion of the hour to wear them *(>, no one need do it. The middle- iged woman usually wears a look of Anxious severity that sometimes : mounts to scowling. It means short s ght or a fear of looking too aml- ehle, that is all: but to unite this !e*rsorr expression with a hat stand ing on its own brim, is to make «• sartorial mistake of the first order. , Some of the hats bordered all < found the up-turned brim with a ! niched ribbon are very pretty Satire I has attacked the silly plume without | banishing it from the smart hal.

These are 1 oyed to exquisite shades of amethyst, rose, green, blue, citron and mauve The most effective gowns are made in one, though the three-piece dress is still In favor.

Can you think of anything more entrancing or delightful than to be able to enjoy any music, in which you chance to delight, on the Kimball player piano?' If you have a ‘‘never played” piano in your home, we will make you a reasonable allowance for it, in exchange on a new KIMBALL PLAYER, intrinsically your piano is worth more than it will be later. You are cordially invited to call and inspect our stock, consisting of many styles of players, which is most complete at this time. OPEN EVENINGS UNTIL XMAS You Save When .iXou&UY W.W.

This should cause a good boom for fine silk stock ing makers. The ^transparent ones are becoming more and more reveal ing with every week. Tango stock ings are black or otherwise dark in tint unless worn with white or light gowns, when they accord with the tone of these or are in gold color. * * * Coiffures are not worn so close- j iy colled round the head as they were a few weeks ago. Sometimes one sees a conical coiffure, rising very ! high, but kept close and narrow be- J • hind the ears, which are always cov- 1 1 ered. Another style has the hair lift - j ed in a high billow on the top of ’he j i head, supported by a "giraffe" comb, j i Smaller combs retain the hair behind ; the ears, leaving enough to cover the latter. The forehead fringe is still ; seen and the chignon retains its | vogue, partly owing to its usefulness in showing the diamond combs so much in fashion. * • • Kid and leather shoes are despised bv the fashionable, though they are i glad enough to fall hack upon them in j muddy weather arid for wearing at race meetings. On other occasions ; the shoes are made of very expen sive materials, often richly embroid ered. Kven silk brocade is ornamen ted with stitchery for this purpose, and sometimes Jeweled as well. The fashionable heel is still extremely high and it, too, is occasionally em broidered and jeweled, though the favorite is striped black and w’hite, for gray and white, or black and red. As to stockings, they are so much, in evidence at present owing to the / re- m&rkable styles of dress that, as a natural consequence, they are of the most luxurious character. Striped or tartan silk and wool mixed are worn in the morning, but in the afternoon open-work lace, silk or thread are tlie only wear. * * • Feminine to a degree are the sim ple blouses of net and chiffon that are used on so many of the afternoon and evening frocks. Very often their sole adornment consists of a few tucks or plaits and a narrow band of ribbon outlining the neck and, per haps. edging the sleeve. A few rhinestone or pearl buttons serve to close and to trim them at the same time. • • • Now that the art of dressing has become a. vital thing, and the fashion for vivid colors so dominant, wom en see what can be done by a judi cious adjustment of brilliant tones. No longer need artists deplore the lack of coloring in women’s dress, for the feminine sex have advanced too far along the line of color educa tion to return now to drab tones. This fact is dearly demonstrated in the evening wraps. One beauty is a proof that a woman of limited Income can dress effective ly at reasonable outlay. This wrap is characterised, by long graceful lines and drapery, and is developed in chiffon velours. It is a model that may be had in various pretty shades, this particular example being of rich petunia hue, and adorned with ring ed buttons of the fabric. The low- cut klfnono sleeve is set into a seam, and at the extreme point of the long collar th wrap fastens with a twist ed motif made of the material. The linings of these evening wraps are in many instances as beautiful I as the garments themselves, a fact which adds considerably to their in terest. For Instance, a model of rose 1 dll Barri corded crepe is turned back at the hem, with the lining of Pais ley-patterned black and white clilf- fon. The fullness In the folds that gives the wrap its drapery in front is caught at the back with a motif of Greek design carried out in pipings of the fabric. Collar and cuffs of I skunk add still another note of rich- i ness to the wrap. In a coat of Jap- 1 ane.se blue plush the tightened effect at the hem of the garment is effected at the hack by a broad band of hand some silk embroidery on gold plush. The consummation of this gorgeous | color scheme lies In an entire skin of red fox worn carelessly across the arms and fastened on the left shoul der. Washington, D*c. 20.
