SPRING HEADGEAR AND EVENING HOODS
velvet also, but had Prince Of Wales
tuft Of maroon feathers on the front,
small, but effective. None Of them wore
a veil.
Now, am not given to listening to
other peoples private conversation, be-
cause it has no interest for me, but /
really could not help hearing theirs,
and it did interest me, for they talked
Of bonnets and did it in such spright-
ly manner that fancy it would have en-
chained the attention of hermit. Said
one, Where do you find those lovely
great hatpins, and what do they cost?''
The other answered that question ard
then said:
And must tell you something. You
know how hard it is to make some hats
and bonnets stay in place. Well, had
been laying'in stock of pins, for, you
know, you always lose them or the heads
come off, and you know, too, how wom-
en- do despise hatpins. Well, the milli-
ner brought me hat for Miriam-she
was along and held it up saying: Ma
dame, look at zis magnifque chapeau.
Only $35, and, see, it require 10 hatplns
for make it attach himself strong on re
head. 4" The manner in which this
was told and acted out made it hard
work to keep from smiling, but forth
with changed my mind and got off the
car to go to this famous magazin where
the number Of hatpins was the distin-
gushing mark Of elegance. AT this
place hat bearing cents worth of
anything American, or rather not
French, would be thrown ignominious-
ly into the street did find many very
dainty and pretty hats there; but, oh,
the artfulness of the lady in charged
She always put the hats on her prettiest
salesgirls and would make one believe
that-well, won't say just to what ex-
tent she can hypnotize her customers.
She showed a beautiful white felt tri-
corner with the brim embroidered in
black and gold and studded with imita-
tion emeralds. There was bow of em-
erald velvet and two golden osprey
sprays. This is for a pronounced blond,
and the m1lliners says that one like it
was imported for Lillian Russell. An
other felt, in biscuit color, had the brim
turned up sharply, forming points on
each side. like the old style cooked
hats" Across the front was fold of
brown velvet, held in by diamond
buckle. Two stiff bows Of the velvet,
edged with Persian trimming, stood up,
one on each side, and an osprey with its
ightness made it altogether beautiful
hat for young face. Another nonde-
script creation was what she called q
plateau. Il must have taken at least two
plateaus to form the deep plaits that
folded in andbut, up and down in such
surprising fashion. Right in front Of
this gray plateau was set a rosette of
magenta velvet. and above this was a
small plume of silver gray. This hat
had no strings or crown and must have
required very nearly if not quite 10
pins. "A huge veil was thrown over the
whole hat and came down under the
chin and fastened snugly in. the back.
A pretty style for younger girl was of
drab and bright blue felt. The brim
was slightly bent and edged with a
narrow roll Of drab satin. The crown
was quite covered with mass of blue
velvet. In front was an enormous buckle
of rhinestones, on one side were blue
quills and donkey ear bow, and on
the other side blue ostrich tuft, end
ing In light blue osprey. These osprey
tips are used to give slight degree Of
lightness to an otherwise rather heavy
effect, and they succeed admirably.
Among the novelties were some opera
and ball hoods. Daintier things could
