Tops, and very often embroidered with
chenille or with mixture Of chenille
and silk.
'Capotcs are also made OF plain and of
embroidered felt, but velvet rather has
the preference. Bright colors are used,
such as ruby, mandarin, rust color,
chaudrou, anemonc, blue, etc, but
they arc nearly always toned down by
black ornaments in The form of plumes,
jet gallons and sprays, and have black
velvet strings.
For the varying weather which will
occur between this and the setting in of
winter there are many styles of wraps,
either close or loosc-ftting, and of
plain or else of elegant materials. The
jackets or walking-coats have semi
military air and are called the arch
duke, hungarian and hussar styles
The archduke has open fronts which
display Il vest covered with soutache
braiding, and the sleeves are also braided
ali ever to correspond. Tho Hungarian
is ornamcntcd with two widths of braid,
following the back seams, and tho true
military fashion on the front, while tho
hussar is close fitting with simulated
vest of light cloth, and brandenburgs
of heavy cord.
Report comes from Pingot in Paris
that the small wrap is dressy, and in
deed quite the style; and tho long pol
onaise-redingote of velvet will be more
favored than ever. An example from
this celebrated house is of plain lead
tinted velvet with silk guipure garni-
tnrc, and black velvet sleeves
The accompanying hat is q Virot
model, made of black velvet, with wide,
dented hrim, and crown of soft velvet
folds. At tho back arc feathers Of
grayish white tint, which is designated
as silver fog

Shapes in hats and bonnets are at the
present moment suggestive Of the bees
of Hybla in their multitude, and tho
perplexity Of tho pretty maid who said:

coming hat than to decide upon hus-

latter case We girls don't have so many

stood. And not so many decades ago,
either, lady of fashion had but one
"bes" bonnet which she wore upon all
occasions and with all gowns, while
nowadays you must have different hat
for each costume to be correct in your
taste.
The latest importations OF hats are
charming in every respect, fanciful,
without being too eccentric, and more
varied in color than is usually the case.
Tho changes arc rung on felt, velvet
and feathers as foundation materials.
Velvet flowers, ribbon and chenille en-
broidery are the most fashionable gar
nitures for head gear, not excepting
small birds, which arc used with Il pro-
fusion that suggests an utterly mex
cusable slaughter of the innocents. Tho
fclts employed are of both tho smooth
and hairy kinds, tho latter being as
thick and soft as fur. Tho shapes arc
fiat in tho crowns, many of the crowns
being raised very little above the
brims, while the brims. whether very
wide or only of moderate Dimensions,
arc fiat, peaked, raised hero or there,
tluted, plated, bent and twisted in
every conceivable way. Black hats are
very popular, but tho most fashionable
colors for felts are light beige, dull
eorquoisc blue, gray, and many of tho
purple anemone shades. These last gem
orally have trimmings in a darker shade
of the Same color. Gray felts arc
trimmed with gray feathers and rib
bons and steel ornaments; blue hats
with black and beige with brown.
