TOOUES MADE AT HOME.
Good Use That May Be Made of Odd
Bits of Velvet, Feathers
and Tulle.

Here are a few half-season toques
that, with a little ingenuity, odd bits
of velvet, tulle and feathers, can be
made at home, over well-shaped wire
frames A fascinating arrangement in
mouse-colored velvet, all wrinkled hori-
zontally and resting against the hair,
is crossed in front by a loosely draped
knot in light gray satin. The height of
the knot, which puffs up above the vel
vet folds in 'front.'. holds down two
stuffed guinea fowl feathers that circle
fatty back over the smooth velvet
crown. It is an exceedingly pretty de-
sign, suitable to accompany a tailor
made gown, and is, as may beimagined,
very easily executed.
Another coquettish little headdress
is of pansy blue velvet, drawn to the
front in two sharp reveres. Over the
faring back reveres is high-lifted, ir-
regular bow, knotted from bias piece
of lavender taffeta, the center of the
knot being a twist Of pansy blue velvet.
Two fancy pearl hatpins, with tiligree
mounting, are stuck jauntily in the
front of the bow. The arrangement OF
the pins is nail-fashion. as though they
served TO tack the bow to the bonnet.
An outline and twist about the small
body of the toque are made of fine
ruching of lavender mousseline de
sole.
Matching a street gown, out of the
cloth of which it is made, is a poppy
red toque. artfully draped and raised at
| the left side with q knot of velvet pop
pies, with seedy black centers. Above
the poppies is an aggressive spreading
of four lively red wings. An ornament
| of cut Jet is allowed to show vaguely
among the poppies. Black tulle is cf-
fectively combined on toque frame
with a rolling twist Of black velvet
| The tulle has an added charm if it be
| first iet-spangled. The crown is filled in
with loosely folded tulle, while wide
rope twist of velvet forms the rim. The
| roll is broken near the front by g
subtlv wound knot of tulle that forms a
base for short jettcd aigrettes. Behind
the aigrettes are airy loops of tulle that
are given crisp appearance by being
| invisibly wired.
Circular flats of soft felt are easily
draped and twisted into artistic toques
| Fine violet colored felt is effectively
| used in prettily crushed toque. orna
mented at the left side with an en0r

| velvet, into which two violet coloreG
1uills sprinkled with jet are stuck a

| round punches of violets rest against
the hair.

tiS4X of ostrich tips and plunes. The
