MILLINERY MODELS.


Not a few of the best turned out
women 1 know have limited means.
Several of these make their millinery
purchases about this season, when
modes are well established and great
reductions are made in the imported
hats, bonnets and toques. If a not too
pronounced style is indulged in there
is no reason why good Paris hat
should not be worn for two seasons
with satisfaction. For the benefit of
such purchasers will give a few sug-
gestions: One such chapeau is of gray
velvet, over which is a silver network
that glistens with spangles.
The crown is rather odd, as it starts
from a round silver buckle fixed upon
black velvet. The hat proper is made
with f1utngS of velvet, yelled beneath
the cobweb Of silver. At the left side.
toward the back, are short but very
handsome black and white ostrich
plumes.
A more simple, but quite as charm
ing hat, also gray, from Cartier,
appears to be composed of heavy gray
cloth and gray velvet woven together
into one of the quaintest and most be-
coming of shapes. At one side are
two short gray ostrich plumes, at the
base of which are the choicest of vel
vet violets with their leaves, and rest
ing against the hair in the back these
modest flowers are again introduced.
Such a confection could really be made
to do duty all summer were a few
more violets added, and let me assure
you that the Eastern craze for gray
will affect us this summer, as it has
not done so to any extent thus far.
Mouse gray, with green or violet, en-
joys a great vogue at this moment
in New York, but the colder, lighter
shade, becoming, to so many, will be
later sought for, and of this shade is
the hat just described.
In perfect taste is a fawn-colored
felt covered over the brim with a
bouillonne finished off at the top with
circular frill A double twist Of dark
green velvet and satin of a lighter
shade with an ear-like loop rests the
head of a pheasant with outspread
wings and tail curved la bird of Par
adise style.
Very chic is toque made of an odd
shade Of dark rich yellow velvet A
large Alsatian bow is in front and in
the back a nodding piquet of black os-
trich plumes.
Inc CROWN ana the VeIVet composing
the bow are embroidered prettily in jet
and gold.
The Princess Laetitia has just had
an artistic hat made of black vel
vet 1t is Of medium size and is worn
at decided angle, the brim at the left
side being turned up sharply and COW
cred with minute puffings of black
mousseline de sole, across which are
placed two long diamond arrows. The
two plumes on the hat follow the line
indicated by the arrows and the crown
is a mass of intricate embroidery
wrought in jet and silver upon the
hair. A good hat, but not a particle
better than a dozen to be found here.
Should the prediction made by many
correspondents concerning the style of
our coiffures be verified we will soon
be wearing our hair done up low on
our necks.

HOW FASHIONS
ARE CREATED.

Since the earliest times great au-
tbors as well as poets have had some
thing to say relative to fashions and
STYLES. For example, Button remarks,
ct is most true. Style is the man
himself. our style betrays u.s." and he
but quoted from an ancient classic au-
thOrity.
Popes lines
In words as fashions the same rule will hold.
Alike fantastic if too old.
Contain a bit of most valuable infor-
nation that might by some be remem-
bered with profit. All Of us are ia
miIiar with the saying LAS good be
out Of the world as out of fashion"
But few, however, comparatively
speaking, know the origin Of any
mode This is a rather interesting
tonic. on which I have written one
paper, and appertaining to which I
have read several. In one of these it
was asserted that most of the fashions
were created by a special set Of
women carefully selected for their
work in each and every great and
famous dressmaking establishment,
and that these women made an ex-
haustive study of the distinct styles
of various periods from rare and
precious prints, and thus, by being
well grounded on such points, could
at a short notice design the most
original of models. One woman, pre-
sumably, would devote herself especi-
ally to sleeves, another to skirts, and
so on, and this sounded very possible
and quite likely, but now l learn that
in Paris, from which we admit the
most chic and beautiful of feminine
garments emanate, there are numerous
IMPOVERISHED men dressmakers who
are true artists, without the means Of
carrying out their wonderful crea-
tions, and these men, it is declared,
make the fashions, and this verifies
Mrs. DevereuxS assertion in THE As
cent of Woman" that costume seems,
in. the first place, to have been in
vented by man. Relative to its evolu-
ton she writes:
Dress as a covering has existed
since Ewes apron of fig leaves, and
dress as a decoration since prehistoric
" woman first hung a string of beads
around her. But it was only after the
dawn of civilization that woman began
TO regard dress as means of creating
impressions. Gradually she began to
perceive that even rank and royalty
borrowed nobility from fitting attire,
and the base born caught the drift Of
this idea and built up national cos
t1me-to each country its own as the
initial possibilities of dress became
known to it,
We may accept it as fact that the
men 1 have mentioned think Of novel
ties during their leisure moments, and
when some really brilliant idea comes

Felix, the exclusive possession OF the
model is secured for about $50 or sou
at the most, and a short time atter a
new, beautiful and frequently striking
mode is launched, which probably Will
be accepted with notifications, all
over the civilized world. So that,

look at the numerous excellent stands
for flower pots. These are invariably
acceptable, for nowadays we all de-
light in ferns and palms-indeed in any
plant that will keep green and fresh
looking indoors, and thousands upon
thousands of such remembrances are
dispatched each Yuletide, some being
in great pots all covered over with tin
foil and tied with flourishing satin
ribbons.
Flowers are sent likewise to my
'ladie faire," as well as every sort of
sweets, from the ordinary broken
candy that gets home in a brown paper
bag to the delicious French bonbons
that are delivered in satin boxes on
Mob Hill.

are the most sensible, as the covers
are made to come off as easily as pill
low cases, and they come back from
the French laundry as good as new.
Dresses of silk, velvet, wool or mus
lin are to be had in holiday boxes
and even waist lengths are specially
put up.
The gold and silver smiths are beam
ing this season, and so are their pat
rons, at the marvellous collection of
lovely things offered for their inspec-
ton. Every ones purse has been con-
suited, so if in doubt just step into
one of the best stores and in a mo-
