Bonnets for Blondes Parisian Grill
NEW hat to a woman—a cynia onco anid-is the birth certificate she would like to show the world—one that takes ten years off her age! And that accounts for the present crisis in the hat world.
Last month, while most of the world wore holidaymaking, the milliners were busy designing and making our new autumn hata. They went to the early 1900's for inspiration, quaint little affairs with topper crowns, decked out with nod- ding ostrich plumes that perched rather precari- ausly on high-piled hair. The Edwardian Une has. arrived, the very latest headline in hata. N
At recent dress shows the Edwardian note has been sounded loud and long. Beautiful girls with their ears and forehends bare, have shown to best advantage theso fiippant little creations
But the question is: Will Mrs, Everywoman to Edwardian; wil Misa Gaventeen and the sophlati- • Ried Twenty-Oves pin up their curls, and comb up their waves to please the mililners?
With this in mind, I invited line Belding, the
Queen of now Millinery, who will appear at Woman's Fair, Olympla, in Novem ber, to make a tour of London's hat showrooms. Not only is she a very handsome girl, with almost classic features, but a natural blonde. Any hat should look at its best framing that aura of palo gold hatr.

Braides, she could look at a hat with a professional eye, for she halls from Luton, England's own hat town, where 1,200 people, are dependent upon the hat industry. Let's see what Isle chooses. She has

Fur Bonnet
The new bonnets are perfect for blondes, she decided, and with a cry of delight she swooped down on one in black felt, outlined with silver fox fur that framed her face.

"Hairdressing must be adapted to suit your hat this season," said Ilsc. She swept back her hair from her face, and up over her head at the back, and, with a few 'twists, had a couple of curls on the top of her head, ready for the wine felt hat with kingfisher blue feathers soaring upwards, that she had had her eye on since entering the shop.
Worn right on the back of the head, you can see the curls peeping out, while the blue spotted vell to match reached practically to the
