buckle of strass. The plumes were carried
around both sides of the crown and rested
on the hair at the back.
IN BLACK AND WHITE.
A chic little black and white hat design
ed for woman in half mourning was made
| of white velvet and heavily spangled in
| jet 1t had moderately high crown and
a fiat brim that was very much wider at
the front than the back. Around the crown
and edge of the brim it was trimmed with
narrow fold of black velvet
| At the front there was a trimming of
choux in white and black tulle that was
very full and high at the crown and ex-
tended over the brim to the hair. On the
left side, under the brim, there was a long
bow of black velvet. This hat was worn
quite back from the face SO as to crown
the high, wavy pompadour
! A small hat that boosted a beautiful COM
bination of greens was of white felt. 1t
was round, and had rather a low crown,
trimmed around with mirror velvet draped
high at the front. Perched on top of the
velvet were two large brilliant green parrot
wings, with tips pointing toward the back
of the hat. large oval buckle of strass
and emeralds trimmed the left side of the
velvet drapery.
One of the smartest little toques I have
seen quite original in shape, being per-
fectly round with the trimming at the side
instead of at the front as is usual with
this winters toques.
Tt was covered with coarse brown net
woven very closely with hunters green
chenille so that the effect was rather bron-
zy. The net was draped to the left side.
where there was a full cluster of bright
hunters green silk peoples, very full and
crinkled. They were topped by an aigrette
sparkling with green and brown spangles.
NAPOLEONS.
There are but few ways of arranging the
trimming the popular corporal" shape
that one always associates with Napoleon.
Tipped directly up at the back and 'front.'
1t adapts itself so wen to the fluffy style
of hair dress that it is waved and puffed
as much at the back as at the front.
1t suits admirably a piquant type of face
and the less trimming it boasts the more
chic the effect. One made up in black and
white was quite fetching.
The hat was of black felt, finished around
the edge of the brinl with a narrow bias
fold of white velvet At the front and
little to the left side it was trimmed with a
cluster of pompons. Some were of black
chenille, interspersed with others made of
white MORE baby ribbon. They were mount
ed by a full black and white aigrette
A novel little theater bonnet was COM
posed of a small jeweled crescent that
curved over the pompadour. 1t was
trimmed at the front with Louis XVI
bow of turquoise velvet that was embroid-
cred in gold and different colored stones.
Hats are almost any shape except regu-

The great American beauty roses may be
a feature of the mid-winter trimmings, but
they seldom seen now
Light felts are very fashionable, with
preference for soft pearl gray almost sill
yer in Tone If you have an old gray felt
don't throw it away, no matter how soiled.
Launder it in soap bark and dry in the sun
to make it lighter in color.
Trim with a big crushed roll of velvet
to match your skirt and gloves; and If you
HOY foo t6ap non GpiSh with a n
rhinestone buckle or a buckle of steel. If
your hat needs height get bird and set it
high in conspicuous place.
