the hap hazard turns and twistings that
have proved so popular, a minority of
close shapes being provided for con-
servative wearers. But no small degree
OF novelty results from new methods In
preparing garnitures which in great
numbers afford scope for choice. Prince
OF Wales tips are the leading adornment
and appear from rich clusters of five set
close together, to two small ones. Long
ones with nodding ends quite far apart
are feature and in general there is a
tendency towards wide branchings in
trimming. Unique feather trimmings
