shape is simple, slop:ng gradually from the

trimmed with feathers
THE GREATEST NOVELTY,
however, is the chenille cord which is SO much
iu vogue On some hats the trimming consists
entirely Of chenille in various fancifln arrange
1ncllts. 1t is particularly desirable Tor culdrens
hats, as bright colors r2ay then be employed,

round, low cru,r,,, and dropping brlm. It is OF
lignt gray felt, and tue t.rlln is edged with
scarlet chenille Loops vi the same are SO ar
ranged that some fall over the brlm, while
others lean against the crown. At the left is, a
cluster Of velvet loops matching the chenille in
color, and held in position By handsome Or

the Ga;nsbosough continues to be the 1avollte
shape But, though universally admired, It IT, IS
not universally becoming, and, asagood author
