Show LONDON MILLINERY PREPARING FOR FALL For tha autumn there Is vary little showing at present, but I find the lead-' ing house are practlilly unanimous on one or two items. The first Is In regard to soft finished Austrian velours In tine qualities, for smull hats, that Is to suy for toques and turbans. I do not think Utey will b much used for the large brim hats. Bavers ere spoken of and manufacturers manufac-turers have received orders sufficient to keep them going for several months. These are shown bo I ft In large and small shapes, mostly in black; where colors are shown they are generally with black underhrlms. For the best west end treble the large shapes are expectd to go mostly most-ly In -kp iters" plush, corded silk and velvet, vel-vet, mfm there is a new brl!it finish ma- lrfal made in Imitation of a terry velvet J which is consider4! very good. Itouah ' finish felts and camel hair fells are shown 1 for the "ready to wear" type of hut. bui up to the present I luive seen very few pin In felts. In ortismentH I have seen so-re very efff-ct I ve t hiiiKs 1 n colored betide on a groundwork t "'! r nxidlned ail-j ver: those ere shown in large fan or i vlng effei-ts snd Ml In Isrxe flat cabo- chona.

Another trimming shown me is a mixture mix-ture of black chenille and colored wool. It is heavy looking snd not altogether pretty, hut Htng new tt mav sell. In f ut tiers hWh mounts, nni long plumes In soft effects. Mitch as hackle. none, nsprey, etc., arc likely to be gtxd. OtfirW'h will r-e verv strong, and large wings are iborght wH of. It Is t" enr'v to sav anything of rotors vet. but there Is a new shade out which will probably have an enVct on the general gen-eral lime. It Is an Evvnilan gold, or I hrnnze nld. and tt Is sub nested that a rsne of browns and greens. a!l with lite limns- K')d tone, will be useful.
