artistic can give it that certain touch
which keeps it above the common
place. Flowers must find no resting
place on the toque, and feathers rare
ly. The trimming must be simple,
with knots of ribbon or velvet, ropes
of grass and wisps of aigrettes, or ag-
gressive looking quills.
Few flowers are noticeable on the
fall models, but what there are take
the form of peoples and roses, which
appear in velvet silk, and the prettiest
of all which are made entirely OF
feathers. Then again, roses are close
ly initiated with taffeta silk, cut on
the bias with rolled edges. Lace is a
secondary factor with new hats. In
the way OF ornaments the preference
is given to cut steel, while jet comes
in second. Fancy feathers Of all
shapes and colors predominate, yet
the ostrich tip will ever hold its own.

said nothing to him that was not in the
line of instruction, and yet her every
word sent thrill OF fervor and delight
through every nerve. She spoke in a
gentle, almost friendly tone, yet he
would not for worlds have dared TO ask
her a single question, lest the sound Of
his voice might break the spell she had
cast about him. She was so close to
hiIo at times. that her shoulder touched
his, and ne could feel her sweet breath
upon his face-but he would rather have
plunged his hand into a seathiDg fur

his unholy touch They were Elysium,
