sort of Tam O'Shantcr rake TO one side,
and others are like inverted bowls, but
when the velvet is plated, twisted and
drapCd about the brim and puCkered up to
crown they are all lovely. For quite
! young ladies the crush velvet hat may
have narrow upturncd spangled brim,
with crush crown. One Of myrtle green
had the soft crown and a narrow brim of
dragon scale spanglCs. At the back the
velvet was twisted into an upright sort of
post, from which sprOuted a large, black
paradise plume, with 12 balls covered with
spangles set on wires surrounding the base
Of the plume.
Another toquo for young lady was of
brown miroir velvet just draped on to the
inverted bowl shape. In front it was
drawn together marking a sort of scallop,
in which were placed bow Of nasturtium
velvet and black aigret. Another had
a polo shape, over which was drawn dark
blue velvet in deep plaits, reversed in he
center Of the crown. At the edge was a
plated ruflle of doubled velvet, ending on
the left temple with rosette of the velvet,
with q diamond sunburst center. Just
back Of this was q cardinal velvet carna-
tion and above it beautiful ornament of
blue cock feathers.
Still another had Tam OShanter
crown made Of broCaded velvet in deep
nasturtium shades and very narrow
twisted folded brim of miroir velvet in the
same shades. For sole ornament there
was fancy gray cock plume from which
the stems had been removed and so fleXi-
bic that every breath of wind made it
flutter, The effect was beautiful. For the
horse show many tOqur8 Of velvet were
sold, Those Of pink, blue and gray We're
the favorites. The gray velvet tOqucs were
literally incrustCd with fine cut steel beads.
The pinks generally were combined with
black, either velvet lace or jet. The pale
blues were trimmed with steel, gold and
pearl beads, and all had aigrets of one
form or other.
The picture hats were remarkable. One
had the front brim as large as that of q
cowboys hat and the back part cut down
to almost nothing The front was then
turned up sharply and held by bow with
great star buckle. The brim of the hat
had a pink velvet featherbone shirring
around the edge and narrow row Of cut
steel beads on the inside of that On the
outside were gray hawks quilts and droop
ing paradise plumes, one of each on each
side standing up high. Around the crown
was q twisted roll of pink velvet. Several
of the handsomest hats were of white felt
or beaver, with long gray and white OIL
drab and white notified plumes curling
over the upper part of the brims and top
ping high above. These natural ostrich
plumes are very handsome and make q
grateful change from the dyed ones.
Quills and made feathers with wonder
full birds are much liked. The change II
rather an agreeable one, as the colors are
nearly all neutral and the shapes are mod
est. The majority of these made orna'
ments are for dress, carriage and evening
boDnets; also round hats and toques. The
great shirred velvet or satin bonnet and
the immense felt and beaver hats have the
enormous panaohes of plumes. omitted
TO mention that many berets, toques and
round hats have at least the crown made
of the material Of the dress. Cloth, velvet,
woolen or satiy crowns are either elabo-
rately braided or beaded or embroidered
Shoe tops, too, are being pade of tho same
stuff as the costume, sufficient Of the ma
terial being furnished with each gown.
Shopping bags and little purses are also
made of the same.
In fashionable neckwear we find dainty
and exquisite fancies There are four In
hand jabots, made Of chiffon, beautiful
