MIDWINTER thN season brings a
less marked c turn go of style in mil
linery, as well as in tailored suits
and elaborate costumes, than usual. Lo
cal merchants, following the trend of the
F.ateru wholesalers, have been conserva
tive In selecting: their midwinter stock.
Without the aid of th merchant to dis
tribute the newet wrinkles throughout
the country, oven the mysterious origina
tors of the changing styles 'can do little,
and so it is that only a few minor
changes of detail mark the new mid
winter offerings on display in Portland's
smartest and most up-to-date shops and
millinery establishments.
Perhaps the most noticeable change
from the Fall mode irt hats Is the loppinpr
off of tlte exaggerated rear brim of
the large .lmcrtei hat, and a trimming
down to match of the entire shape. Some
new and striking colors,, too, are being
exploited., among them two shades of
green, the one being a dark olive tint
for the more conservative.-and the other
quite a bizarre tone In the brightest of
emerald, for the more daring.
Whether or not Portland will take to
the new colors in earnest remains to be
seen. In San Francisco. which seizes
upon fads quickly (or rejects - them en
tirely), the "wearing of the green" is
paid to be quite general, particularly in
the matter of millinery and long green
plumes, with flaring bows or big pom
poms of green ribbon, heaped upon a
saucy foundation of green velvet Is said
to be the very smartest thing in hats in
that city.
The midwinter stocks of the local mil
liners are somewhat sparing of showings
in green, and several of the buyers Just
returned from ' the East pronounce the
furore for green only "a passing fad and
not generally- adopted by the smaVter
element. " The golden; brown tones of the
Autumn hats, brightened .with a touch
of dainty corn color, remain the prevail
ing note in- the local shops.
In the bobbins;. off of the big -"dishpan"
shapes, the style tends toward the other
extreme, and the tiniest of velvet-bound
brims, under quite a towering crown, has
come to be quite the thing. The wings,
plumes and pheasant tails, too, are suf
fering a general- -curtailment, and once
more the woman with the .thin face and
sharp features may rejoice, for the big
picture hat, -most unbecoming to her. is
practically doomed, and the. small hat,
of short brim and high crown, which
tends to round out the face, and 'soften
sharp features. Is to be the mode.
The irregular and inverted curve of the
brim, with its dip at the back, still sur
vives in the new bats, and the only varia
tion from this is in an upward roll of
the short brim at the front In one of the
late styles. This upward roll is not uni
versally becoming and will therefore fail
of universal adoption, but to those who
can wear this shape it lends a smartness
bordering upon the pert and saucy, while
to the girl with the fluffy hair it has all
the becoming elements of the . old Na
poleon shape. " .
Three hats, showing the prevailing
characteristics -of the hew midwinter
hats, are shown herewith, from the stock
of a leading Alder-street establishment.
No. 3 is In golden brown and - corn
color, and shows the extreme thing in
short brims, with the accompanying high
crown. Silk and velvet pom-poms, with
a short wing of golden brown, comprise
the trimming. The frame Is of silk braid,
with velvet binding. "
. No. 2 shows a type of the hat with the
upward rolling front and in the new
green shades. The shape Is of green vel
vet, bound with velvet of a tint lighter."
and two spreading wings of green, joined
with a knot of green velvet of the same
tone, flare out straight from the central
point at the front. This is an extremely
smart and becoming style for the woman
who can wear it and to whom the color
Is suited.
No. 1 shows the lingering touch of the
extreme "down-the-back" inverted brim.
Theshape is the same as in the exagger
ated Summer and Autumn style, except
that a couple of inches of brim are miss
ing at the rear. Wings and silk puffs,
with the still popular ornamental pins,
are used in the trimming, the generat
tone being of a warm wine color, one of
the variations from the prevailing tints
! of brown, which is proving popular.

Complaint' That Forestry Building
. Jj, Is Closed Too Early,. :
PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 17. (To the
Editor.); Would ou kindly advise
through the columns of your paper
what regulations, if any, are In -force
regarding the hours for visiting the
Forestry Building? There seems to be
quite a difference of opinion on .this
subject, and touching same wil say
that , on Sunday, the 12th, the writer
had a party of Eastern lumbermen out
to see this building. WTe arrived at the
building about 4 o'clock in the after
noon. The light was still good, but at
exactly 20; minutes past 4, by our
watches, the attendant in charge rang
his bell and cleared the building;. There
were in the building at that time about
30 people.
We asked the attendant what time
the building was supposed to be closed,
and received the reply that he closed
it whenever he thought the light was
too poor for people to see. In other
words, he closed It when he wished.
The interior of the building was as
light as It Is at any time at this season
of the year, and there was no trouble
at all in seeing the exhibits there
owing to the light. Am under the im
pression that there is some regulation
touching this subject, -and if so would
like to know what it is. and whether
the control of the building rests with
some Board of the city,? of Is exclu
sively in the hands of the attendant
on tho grounds. -Yours very truly,
A PORTLAND "BOOMER."
Mayor Lane says that the Forestry
Building is at present under the charge
of. the Park Board, 'and that a keeper is
placed there, who uses his own judg
ment as to the- hour for closing. . His
instructions are to close the place
when it is too dark within for the ex
hibits to be seen.
ups, proprietor of BIHups Hotel, Park
Heights and Heywards avenue and his
wife, were Instantly killed early today
oy oeing tnrown from an automobile
at Park Heights avenue and the Pim
llco road entrance to Druid Hill Park.
Lee H- Sbaad, of Elkridge, owner
and driver of the machine, was-hurt in
ternally, but not fatally.
Mr. Shaad said he had stopped at
tne nuiups' Hotel and was taking Mr.
and Mrs. Billups out driving. Mr. BIH
ups asked him to speed his machine
and in turning the curve at the en
trance to the park, his machine skidded
and upset.
