crown A light sheathing of white silk
muslin and a panache of black Prince
OF Wales feathers at the left front, or
namented this model, which is here
pictured. The rest of the ruff1ed hats
looked as if NJ. Virot were just trying
his hand to see what he could do.
A SIDE LIFT.
The fashion of wearing the large
hats low over the forehead, until they
seem ready to tumble off, milliners say
is going out, though there are some
widely-trimmed shapes, turned up at
the back, that will need to be adjusted
in pretty much the old way. But other
large hats are running to a slight lift
ing of the left brim, which gives them
cocky side tilt when posed; and even
when not turned up there is a tendency
to mass the trimming of the back more
toward the left than evenly in the
middle, as formerly.
Most of the small round hats, and eS-
pecially those on the ruffled order, will
be worn squarely on the head or else
a little back, to show an elaborate ar
rangement of the hear in front. But
this arrangement will be the dispair OF
women with high foreheads and
straight hair; a pompadour with short,
soft curls is the proper caper, and this
style, though very charming is, I'M
fortunately, becoming only to low fore
heads and crisp, wavy locks.
SOME HARLEQUIN EFFECTS.
No one period of history is repre-
sented in the new fashions. The best
of many years has been stolen from
old books and the result is happy
melange of many times that has an up
to-dateness all its own. Several OF the
Louis have donated their titles to both
large and small hats, and from their
royal days have been copied rich tinsel
embroideries 20 serve as trimmings.
Sometimes these embroideries will APP
pear in several pieces on a hat or there
Will be round rolled brim covered
entirely with an open design; or per
haps a stiff billycock velvet crown will
be banded higher with single precious
piece, a high tuft of bobbing feathers
at the left side forming the other trim
! ming.
Among the Louis XIII collection of
small hats there are some ruff1ed af-
fairs that depend entirely for effect on
strong contrasts in color. One mad
model of velvet was half in one tint,
half in another; one side green, one
blue; the whole thing denied and
pinched in and out until it locked like
pretty pudding that had gone wrong
in the cooking.
NEW HAT TRIMMINGS.
Plain felt hats abound, but colored
ones of camel hair felt. covered with
long black hairs, are among the newer
novelties, and there are some large has
with solf velvet crowns and brirns wo-
ven of chenille and silk braid that art
very handsome. Black velvet and os-
trich feathers trim these superbly, six
or seven big feathers being fastened at
one side, or else catching UP the brin
at the back and nodding toward the
face.
On many of the hats, and especially
the Russian turbans, bis of fur, hea
and sable tails, and tabs of rich vel. ow
lace are used as last winter, with tbs
same fine effect. The big square walk
ing hats worn in the spring are seen
again in colored and black fe,ts in dus-
ky puppies, blues, greens and browns
| These are trimmed effectively with
curved plumes of greenish-black cock
feathers, with velvet, wings, birds, and
the novelty paradise aigrettes that curl
up in soft rings at the ends.
Gentle creatures of all the feathered
tribes have died for the sake of the
winter woman From the tfniest hum
