millinery genius who takes a few notes
through the shop windows, goes home, in

a Partisan novelty seems positively shah
by. one hears of such wonders o. q !
sides. but IL has never been my luck 20 see
one of these scrap bag reincarnations that
was not dismaliy nome made in every
feature. Now, however, with half yard
of velvet, a buckle and a pretty ostrich
plume il is a poor hand that can't contri re
as smart litue revolutionary toque as
need crown any head.
"One 1 saw this afternoon deserves tell
ing about, because the girl who wore il,
wore also so sweet a httle calling gown
that I followed her for a half dozen blocks
in order 10 take in every detail. The frock
was "a soft satin surfaced cloth Of deep
rich mulberry color that is bound sooner
or later TO be as popular as fiuette blue
once was. Her skirt was slit open from
hem 10 some distance above the knees in
front 10 show an under dress of beaver
brown velvet picked out in tiny jet worked
figures Her short waist opened in front
to show fat vest and collar of the brown
similarly decorated, and l can assure You
that this study IN mulberry brown and
black is quite the most piquant thing I've
seen in two months. What went with this,
in her pearl gray suede clad hands, was
a big mun of the creamiest grebe, and
a brim of one roll of gribe, a dasning white
plume fastened by some invisible agent III
rectly in the front of her crown and a big
bow of cream cOlored antique velvet adj
justed a little above the brim to the left
side.
That hat I'll wager. was her miliner's
supreme inspiration, and yet my fingers
positively ache to lay hold on some hoard
ed scraps in an old hat box and test
my abilities at a copy of the enviable lit
tie trihe. Mine shall be black velvet in
the crown, a band of brown pheasants
breast about the brim, brown plume up
the middle and a bow of turquoise blue
velvet TO one side, for a slavish copy of a
really good hat is quite despicable trick
in my eyes.
Embroidered Effects.
This gown and a number of other good
ones saw this afternoon, while on my
tour of investigation. convinced me of the
Importance of having my new calling suit
made up with an overskrt and adorned
literally with dome embroidered effects. /
see embroidered cloths piled on every
counter but more persuasive argument
is that they are in actual wearing.
For what l am going to have in the
way Of a visiting suit l got all my most
helpful suggestions from a captivating
French costume, worn by blonde Boston
beauty at Mrs. Whitelaw Reds commit
tee meeting. Hers was a spinach green
Venetian cloth. The overskirt was cut IN
in scallops 10 show an underdress of the
same goods and color, but picked out In
small sprays embroidered in cream silk
The sleeves of her coat waist and its
fronts were decorated to match the ur-
derdress, and the sdtchings and touches of
black Persian lamb completed the harmon
ious whole. l noticed that the pretty Bos-
tonians had discovered the virtues of the
new toque, and that she wore her muff on
fine god chain strung at intervals with
tiny exquisitely co.ored agate marbles.
Some of them were round, some quite oval
and some shaped like little beans
