a big hat and a daring wearer to car |
ry it off with any degree of success. |
Black velvet hats are seen with a |
frill of lace set about the brim, and !
the top Of the hat takes on an extra |
roof, so to speak, Of OpenWork jet. 1t |
is in the shape of a jet mat, that |
overhangs the crown little. On one
side of the crown stand two Quills !.
set aslant, the brim of the hat turns !
up little on the other side, there a |
bunch of plumeS is placed, and on the |
under side Cf the Drim there appears
rosette of lace.
In another sort of hats lace is
shirred about the crown, the edge of
the lace coming high above the top
of the hat. Around the very edge of
the top is bound a twisted ribbon
that ties at one side in a big bow,
no other trimming being used. All
trimming is fastened level with the
top of the hat now and it is this that
gives the eccentricity of effect so
noticeable. Hats are worn either
right on top of the head or well down
over the forehead. In other words,
# there is any TIPPING, it is forward
and not to the back.
Taffeta in checks makes the accept
ed silk waist of today. The usual
check is white and brown, blue OF red
The prettieSt pattern has no darts in
front, opens invisibly at one side, is
drawn in at the waist in front by a
| narrow row Of shirriLg, and has enor-
| nous sleeves and a very high folded
collar. Such model makes a figure
| that inclines to plumpness seem al
| most slender.
Buckle manufa cturers are making
hay now and will go On doing so all
through mid-winter if current fash
ions hold out. Buckles are permis-
sible on dresses wherever a loop is
made, or something caught up, and
gloves now fasten with a buckle and
strap instead of buttOning. The buck
les are so tiny that they could be
| made out of one of the old three-cent
pieces that were fol- yer getting lost.
They are of cores ndinSly delicate
finish. There are tn for each glove,
the wrist above top one being
"Bernhardt." On tt hat or bonnet
there may be four Il lckles, and some
of these are very &C tly
FurrierS are Offering for the coming
cold days round and high fur caps
without rim or brim like a Russians S.
These will be worn by the women
whose looks can stand it. No trace
of bang must show and the hair must
cover the ears. Little caps of seal
skin are made just like close infant
bonnets. They come tight about the
face and fit the head all over The
effect is piquant in the extreme fOl

lines of age, brt think of seeing q
lady with Il double chin in such q

a single loop, fiat against the side ant
} rising q little above the level Of tho
top. TIL ase are exactly the width OF
the be nnets sides. At the very edge
of the top two tiny butterfly bows
of ribbon gre set, and a little roll OF
velvet lies under the edge to lift il
the le;' / bit from the head. There Is
no more trimming. unless the single
narrow string of ,lvet that is at
tached to the left lie Of the bonnet
and is passed un + the chin and
pinned to the Cpl site side with q
jewel, is counted trimming. tx
plicit details are Gi IL for this bonnet
because it is en- il " new and will
not be seen except on an occasional
woman who is away up in the fash
ions.
An equally new design of tOque is
of black felt and its crown draped
with green gllce VI lvet embroidered
with large jet nailheads. The brim
is encii cled by 9 ruching of black
velvet edged with jst, and the same
ribbon forms those upright loops on
the left side. ImpC rted models OF
wee affairs called theatre bonnets
show q tendency to place the trim
ming pendant from q coronet. This
gives an Egyptian effect that is lit
