A characteristic of the season is the softness of hats. the honors for the little felt at th? right and a small, black, hatters' plush shape below is trimmed with a blue and silver ornament and quills. French blouse makers were evidently evi-dently listening In when forerunners of the fall modes began heralding ttie most Important chunges In styles. With Imaginations fired by the edicts for loug sleeves, they hastened to show what these new features mean to blouses. And besides these there Is the vogue of greater elaboration in all modes, which the French, with their talent for ingenuity, will make much of In blouses. Long sleeves higher neck lines tlares?

These soft shapes may be adjusted ad-justed in any way thnt Is most becoming becom-ing their lines accommodated to the face. If there is unusual uniformity In hats themselves, there Is less uniformity uniform-ity than ever in trimmings. The ever-Increasing ever-Increasing demand for Individual styles has reached the point where "no two alike" is the slogan of some milliners. mil-liners. No woman with a distinctive and pretty hat wants to meet its twin or find that It has been repeated until it Is no more distinctive than peas in a pod. Each wants something a little "different."

Even for wear with tailored suits and ensembles the severely plain blouse is conspicuous by its absence. Tailored blouses of crepe de chine are decorated with tucks, plaited jabots, collars and cuffs made of the material. Plain crepe blouses, In lively colors, are covered with all-over embroidery, and often metallic threads are introduced intro-duced also for wear with the "tail-leur." "tail-leur."
