Thus far plain royal cut velvet
promises to be the ruling material in
the making up of fine millinery. En-
broidered cloth crowns, brim pieces
and bands are shown among the novel;
ties in millinery materials. but these
will be used in conjunction with velvet
Velvet and plush are both seen in the
covered frames, and there will be,
doubtless, a greater development Of
plush as the season advances toward
winter; but there seems now a remark

materials in which tinsel appears.
Indications are to the effect that VEL

extent the use of ostrich feathers The
picturesque and shadowy effect which
renders a large hat attractive can be
attained as perfectly in no other garni-
ture as in the plumage Of the ostrich.
Therefore dealers in ostrich feathers
calculate upon profitable season.
Ostrich feathers are shown mostly in
plain colors, although there is some
reason to expect that they will also be
used somewhat in shaded colors; and
black plumes and tips, it is supposed,
will be notable features of the coming
styles.
Fancy feathers will also play a con.
spicuous part in the millinery Of the
autumn and winter. They are shown
in birds (white canaries and canaries

being noticeable), birds wings, mixed
