Some entirely novel ideas are trying
to push their way. AS for the decoration
Of felt hats with painted garianas anu
bouquets, it is never likely to De more

the effect obtained is far from Oeins
adequate to the trouble and care eApena-
ed; and, in the second, It Is very olIacui'
10 devise a trimming that shail DC =

saws the millinery Trade Review. Were
The painting executed in bright coIors, It
would losK garish, whereas delicate tlnts
appear tame. and moreover, necessltate
correspondingly tame colorings for the
trimming.
Better than the painted felts are the
painted satins and velvets used to make
berets, full crowns and draperies- But
these are only really pretty executed IN
light colors on white, and therefore are
only applicable to the very smartest mod
els. One example will suffice; 1T is a
picture hat of whfte velvet painted with
mauve orchids and pale green grasses.
About the base of the crown Is feided
a wide mauve ribbon fled in a bow with
several loops on one side, beneath which
& fixed a plume of white tips. Thu brim
is slightly lifted on one side, where the
hat rests on a semi-coronet of shaded
mauve and satin roses.
Another novelty. on The other hand, is
destined to become thoroughly popular
namely. the kerchiefs of printed vewet'
Main veiye or satin antique. They have
a wide border or hem, the latter being
sometimes in China silk or fine gauze, and
Utmost invariably plain. The printed
varieties are shown in extremely bright
colors; the center Of the kerchief is most
" red, blue or mordore, and between TINS
circular center and the hem-which is OF
the same or another color-is a printed
floral design, naturally much deeper at
the corners. Self-colored kerchiefs, on
the contrary, are preferred in rather light
tints, and are suited to more dressy hats
and toquss. Milliners have different ways
of arranging them. but generally they
form a sort of pouf, which nay be placed
against the upturned brim of a toque or
at the side OF a hat crown. Here IS a
modore felt hat on which a karchief is
arranged against the crown, with its
four points in the air; these points ex-
hibit a red and green pattern on a white
ground, the center and border being
mordore. Two broad brown couteaux
sweep around the front and opposite side
of the hat. A toque of champagne-aol-
orea velvet aas a kerehief of satin an
tique, with a wide gauze hem, arranged
pouf-wise against the uptnrned brim. A
mauve toque OF piece felt is trimmed in
the same way, with 4 pale mauve kerr

Fringed scarfs. extremely pretty in

appropriate decorations-sney have suca
a heavy appearance; still they must be
reckoned among the novelties Of the
season. They are best suited TO Amazon
shapes. one of a pearl gray tint has i
China silk scarf Of this tint arranged
about in a torsada and then tied in a big
bow over the left ear, the fringed ends
hanging 4 little be.ow the brim. Two gray
wings rest among the folds of the scarf.
Searfs are also made of knotted floss
silk: they ara not so wide as those i'll
China silk. and may be tied in a cravat
bow in frontye the hat or toque. A bright
little Deret made. of vivid scarlet velvet,
folded so as TO form a triple border, has
one of these scarfs of floss silk to match
twisted round it and tied in a bow over
the left brow.
Then we have a new kind of chenille
trimming mosslike silk braid starred

merely as decoration or be sewn up into
toque or eapote shapes. It seems likely
to a tx the place of 1etted and spangled
trimmings this winter. I have seen toques
and tricorns. both with turned-up brims,
turreted or scalloped. made of such
braids. One of the latter. of a pale sky
blue tint. has a wreath of blue velvet for
get-me-knots between the brim and crown
and rather far back on the left side d
dark green bird, the under side of its
wings dyed pale blue On a picture hat
OF black velvet the chenille braid is used
as a trimming for the high. straight
crown, which is banded alternately with
white chenille braid and rouleaux of the
velvet tsix bands Of each), and also for
the under side of the brfms rouleaux and
braid being placed in the same way alter
nately. Two black ostrich feathers and a
white paradise, fastened to the crown by
a simili brooch. complete the decora-
tion.
Among the novelties In simili, jet, ETC.,
are long, narrow ornaments-symmetrical
arrangements of olive leaves and the
like-intended for trimming Directoire
hats. They are placed upright against
the back of the crown and the strings
