While waiting fer that millennium, let
US see what would be the best things to
wear. There are sone new hats tlne
enough to take away ones breath. There
was > teque Of stamped Persian velvet,
with two very long, thick, white ostrich
piunaes on it. These started from the
front and laid back fat en- each side, CURL
Ing under against the hair at the back.
Down the center Of each plume was a
row of jet beads. Directly in front there
was q small tuft of white TIPS, held By
q fine cut steel and Jet ornament.
A wide brdmmed black velvet hat had
the edge piped with white satin. 1t was
beat down deeply in front. There was
a black velvet rosette In front, from
which sprung three black plumes. Under
the right side Of the brim were two
r~osettss Of the velvet. In the center Of
the rosette was a pearl ornament. This
form Of hat is very becoming to a lady
with an syal face, be she fair or dark.
A stately lady, wearing her hair in a
Pscyche kust, would lock majestic In one
Of the new expire pOkss. There WAS one
made expressly to wear with q suit OF
hanson cloth trimmed with very narrow
bands Of e~hinckilla, The bsnpet was OF
damsen velvet, the brin upturned in the
back and tied down at the sides with
ribbons. Areuad the hat are nine rows
bf pale lilac satin pipinsz. On the top
In front is a hanch Of plpmsa, all black,
and inside the poke front Is q rosette Of
lilac axd dsmson velvet.
A yery becoming round hat for a young
LADY Il OF lark breun felt with q brown
ve1Yet bindins. In trent, set low, is 8
wide bow Of velvet held with q large and
handsome gold buckle. Another velvet
bow Is placed at the back, and on each
side droop two very short tips, all black.
The shape Of the hat is the round sailor
which Il 70 universally becoming to young
faces.
In mourning hats the eve have for
quite young girls wells of a rather thin
hcr quality Of Grape than that usually Of
kered. These wells are Of the waterproof
ed Grape and hang from the back Of the
toque like strezmers. These are particu-
larry fashionable In France. In Englsnd
young girls do not always wear q veil
eyen IN frst mourning. -
