crown, and ut the left side quantities of
tips and plumes are punched high AMI

black tips lies low at the base Of the
crown.
Hats made of satin and velvet braid are
quite new OF even plain braided felt is
sometimes employed i'll making small dressy
hats.
A dressy little hat made of sage green
braided felt has rather a low clown and
narrow brim turned directly up at the
back. The brim was faced with sage
green velvet, with a small piping OF orange
velvet around the edge. Twists Of orange
and green velvet Went around the crown
and punches of nasturtiums shading from
pale gold to deep flame trimmed this hat
at the back.

One OF the new theater bonnets Is built

Another theater bonnet, more suitable
for matrons, was made on the same general
lines, though the materials were different.
The small crown was of dablia satin en-
oroidered in gold, and following the base
of the crown were tiny punches OF gold and
purple heartsease. The choux were of

THE pHILoMEL CHORAL.
A Most Delightful and Unique rlusi-
cal Association.

The latest novelty in the musical line
IS New York's Philomel Choral, feni-
nine organization devoted to the interpre-
tation of vocal music, entirely rs chorus,
NO solos forming a part OF their work. The
idea evolved itself from q ladies' quartet
for drawing-room singing, which proved
such source OF enjoyment to the four
ladies and their friends, that the suggestion
was put forth of enlarging the band of vo-
calists, and soon eighteen fair maids and
matrons joined forces and voices, a club
was formed and one OF the first chOrals
composed solely of members of the gentler
sex had sprung into existence.
The quaint name was chosen from Shake
speare's lines in "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" "PhilOmel, with Melody, Sing in
our Sweet Lullaby" which words are the
clubs emblem or motto, and appear as
heading on all its notices and programs.
The purpose of the society Is purely for
pleasure and musical culture, and its men,
berSiiip maintains high social standing
1t being no easy matter to gain entrance
to the charmed circle. If music lover
thinks she should like to try the pleasures
and advantages, her name must be present
ed in writing to the membership commit
tee which will confer with the executive
ceptable personally, She must then pass Il
vocal examination by the musical director,
and If she proves herself competent as a
singer she becomes a member
The society. which now has "a large and
increasing membership, meets every Wed
nesday morning at 1890 o'clock during the
season for rehearsal, and woe betide the
unlucky d:imsel who is absent or tardy:
If she cannot present very valid reason
why, she must pay a fine for her delin-
quency, and any member absenting her
self without some irCn- bound excuse from
the last four rehearsals previous to one OF
the concerts shall forfeit her tickets and
the privilege of singing AT the concert

as usual, the show is advertised to last
only one week, closing about November

Importance for the fashion makers, and
SO much feature Of 1t has fine dressing

AT I'LL OF the smart dress-making estab-

to splendid GOWNS created for this especial
occasion.
The niliners, too, are showing horse

and, to judge from the great names drop

well represented this season as ever.
Some beautiful importations in gowns and

one off these skirts will have the back

Yellow Is Toned Down to Orange

Fashionable Dahlia-A
Paradise of Bird
Feathers.

Paris, Nov. 7.-rcrhaps the most striking
thing about this winters hats is tneir
somberness. Not that the somtarncss is op-
pressIve al all. And If one could forget the
vivid coloring uf last years hats, tie multi
colored Roses ard the violets punched side
by side, this winters hats might be- desig-
mated even as bright hats.
There are plenty of pretty bright colors
used, hut the tendency is TO harmoniZC
rather than contrast cciors. For instance,
when bright yellow is used on a hat il is
toned down by II darker shade, finally
arriving at burnt orange md dark brown.
Pale lilacs are carried down into deep
shades of dailia. which is the favorite Of
this winters culors. And exquisite results
follow the toning of greens.
But ones eye must bc educated up 10

introduced among blue greens; n yellow sa-

out and create iaugiishl" djscords.
