t W f EARING the hat slightly to one
\\( aide is very becoming to some
faces, those with a dash of
fun and coquetry in their expression
Gainsborough's famous Duchess of
Devonshire is anMnstanoe, the width
„ of the brim adding piquancy to the
whole. But the present fashion of
earing the hat so one-sided that
part of tl e narrow brim points to the
enith. while its antipodes portion
! *sts upon the shoulder, is apt to be
grotesque rather than picturesque,
'-specially when the wearer has an
ir of so’emn gloom as her natural
expression—many of us have. A
clever weman once wrote: "Never
cry In a rose-colored hat.” The
greater includes the less, "Never look
glum in a one-sided hat.” Though It
is a fashion of the hour to wear them
fo. no one need do it. The mlddle-
**ed woman usually wears a look of
noxious severity that sometimes
i mounts to scowling. It means short
fright or a fear of looking too ami-
► ble, that is all: but to unite this
tearsom expression with a hat stand
ing on its own brim, is to make a
I sartorial mistake of the first order.
Some of the hats bordered all
round the up-turned brim with a
ruched ribbon are very pretty. Satire
j has attacked the silly plume without
banishing it from the smart hat. The
I I'nmlf papers show it thrusting itself
j into the 1 uman oye, tickling intolera-
1 ly the human cheek and ear, and
advertising the foolishness of the
wearers Ir. many unmistakable ways

The very soft brocades and moires
now used for dresses 'all In graceful
folds about the figure, and such ma
terials as chamuuse, silk voile and
foulard ere in great favor. These are
dyed 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. A tall girl In rose-
colored brocade looked well of a re
cent opera nigh*. Usually the hack
of the gown has a wide, flat pleat that
folds underneath at either side. By
the tailor’s art these are pressed ab
solutely flat so that there Is no ap
pearance of unnecessary fullness, and
yet whe-u the wearer walks, there Is
sufficient width tor freedom of mo-

Christmas Gift for Each
Member of the Family
This month, of all months, is the most popular
time for music in the home, on account of Christ
mas and the attending holidays.
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.

r’olffures are not w’orn so close
ly coiled round the head as they were
a few weeks ago. Sometimes one
sees a conical coiffure, rising very
high, hut kept dose and narrow be
hind the ears, which are always cov-
I » red. Another style has the hair lift
ed In a high billow on the top of the
j head, supported by a "giraffe” comb,
i Smaller combs retain the hair behind
i the ears, leaving enough to cover the
i 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
by the fashionable, though they are
giad enough to fall hack upon them in
muddy weather and for wearing at
race meetings. On other occasions
the shoAs Tire made of very expen
sive materials, often richly embroid
ered. Even silk brocade is ornamen
ted with stltchery 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 white,
or gray and white, or black and red.
As to stockings, they are so much in
evidence at present owing to the re
markable 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
the 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
j 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.
I 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 clearly demonstrated in
the e'vening wraps.
One beauty is a proof that a woman
of limited Income can dress effective
ly at reasonable outlay. This wrap
is characterized by long graceful
i 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-
I ed buttons of the fabric. The low-
cut kimono 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
du Barrl corded crepe Is turned back
at the hem, with the lining of Pais
ley-patterned black and white chif
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
I of the fabric. Collar and cuffs of
I skunk add still another note of rich
ness to the wrap. In a coat of Jap
anese blue plush the tightened effect
at the hem of the garment is effected
at- the back by a broad band of hand-
I 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-
