HATS AND OTHER THINGS,
Wings and Ermine Tails the Latest
Smart Garniture.

Among the many modish black hats
winter those made of black taffeta
shirred and corded are simply charm
ing. You may have dressy ones with
big rose of any color covering the
crown and the tatfeta of the brim soft
ened with tulle, while for forenoon
wear the whole hat is of taffeta with
big bows across the front and buckle
for ornament.
Milliners are becoming large buyers
of the choicest furs. for they are to
have another season of fur trimmed
hats. AS hat crowns and hat brms
are very much larger than formerly 1t
takes many more skins to cover them,
and CORRESPONDENCE higher prices are
asked. But how exquisite is the com
binaton of lace, mousseline and Grape
with sable. mink, chenille and ermine!
The --latest cry" in smart millinery Is
to have hat facings of wings and of err
mine tails. The wings show to a charm
where the hriIn is wide with n slight
upward curve, and they produce
charming lines also in their slight over
tapping. Besides combining pure white
with soft grays in the natural state
there are touches of pale rose and 9th
er tints introduced by dyes which beau
tify the face by a rare becomingness
in feather softness.
Wings are employed also as collar
and front facings to superb opera
cloaks of velvet, panne velours and
gold brocades.
The hat crown which gives the great
est cachet to n hat is on the melon or
der or. to be politically suggestive, re-
sembles the shape of a mandarins cap.
These crowns are small and belong to
the fiat hats exclusively, which are all
brim.
Long, narrow breasts Of game bird
feathers ending in long, stiff wing
feathers trim upturned hat brims
charmingly. These are the correct hats
for tailor made suits. The hat itself
may he Of velvet. Big draped crowns
of tucked cloth to match various suits
are also among the new winter fea-
lures of millinery. stiff broad quilts
pureed through the cloth answering for
trimming. "Plateau' is the name Civ

The hats in the sketch are selected
