New York. Nov. 6.-Nothing could he
prcttier than the picture hats which are
being worn this season. Lillian Russell
wears d most exquisite creation Of pink
feathers and white Gansborough in the
opera in which she is now singing, and.
strau ese to say. tile milliner has been able TO
devise another all white one, which suits
the pi4uant beauty of Della Fox quite as
wen. Miss Russen's hat is large, with a
bread brine and the fIuffiest OF PINK 1lumes
nesting over the edge and down against
her neck. Della Foy, whose sman stature
docs not admit Of very widespread head
gear, wcsTs a white hat with curved brira,
sIg-.tl pointed ia tne front and back, and
the only trimming consists Of TWO large
white planes, starting I'm front of the
cr9wn and rcaching back to droop over the
edge at tire back.
While in some cases, the style is eX
Gggerated for stage purposes, for the same
reason that color IS heightened to produce
good effects at a distance, it is a rccog
niZed fact that H. better criterion Of IA shiou
exists than the modern actress IN socier:
play. Maxine Elliott, for instance, was
one Of the first to wear the Russian blouse.
Hers, which is shown at the leru of the
illustration, IS made OF dark green velvet,
trimmed with gray fur u color combl-
| nation easily copied in cloth trimmed
with gray moufflon. Miss ElliOtts hat is
also OF green velvet, with gray feathers

a bunch OF curly quills for trimming. There
are SO many of thuSe bats with Tamo shan

OF which trimmings are tilted, and the way
tie owner wears it.
A great deal OF Jewele d and en,broidered
velvet is being sold for evening bonnets.
A very easily made bonnet consists of n
small Marie Antoinette crown setting nat
on the head, with a very large bow in
front, like those worn a couple of years
ago.
Another very pretty little bonnet Is made
| Of white tulle, eigrettes, ostrich feathers
and black velvet. The tulle is made into
narrow. double ruching, which is laid be-
tween tie bands Of Merode fillet OF cut
steel. One OF these bands rests upon the
! forehead. and the other two are bent up
| several inches above A the back are set
roSetteS Of white tulle, at each end Of the
! steel band. on the left side are couple
| Of white ostrich tips, and in front n clHrlp
OF white aigrettes towers up over bow Of
narrow black velvet ribbon. 1t see ms 10 be
