Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-09-20

These are fer the most part of the
inner wing feathers Of our conmonest
fowls, with some of the FURNISHED out
er ones, all arranged SO they resemble
other birds. Some Of the brightest of
the colored plumes from the necks and
tails of the pretty little bantams are
employed In making the cashmere and
Persian effects in some of the turbans
and also the long amazons.
These are made so that they resemble
the shape of the most expensive es-
trieh plumes, and the ends are exeep-
tionally rich and full They are to be
mingled with the new craped silks,
which are known as drap de nippur.
This has the craped design across the
stuff, and when it Is made into trim
ming the material Is cut bias and more
pretty fancles are developed with this
than can remember Of ever seeing In
anything else. It comes In every color
and tint in the colors of the season,
and these are many, SO many that no
one could tell of them all But the
most effective Of them are the dfab,
light brown and the wlite and cream.
All of the others are handsome, but
these are particularly Gne in these
shades. Rosettes, flowers and no end
Of rich folds and twists are made OF
these goods, and draperies are seen on
fully half the millinery all made Of
this. 1t seems to be as well adapted for
twisting around the crowns Of the ev-
eryday felts as for the dainty and del
icate evening bonnet
Besides this there is polka dot \ vels
vet and Grape; also surah. One special
ty in the new millinery is the quantity
of felt to be used as trimming. This is
cut into strips and braided In with
satin straw or in some cases with
chenille in a shade or two darker or of
contrasting color. This is very rich
The braid thus made is about an inch
or little more in width. 1t is used to
border wide strips of felt cut like rib
bon and used as such to trim the hats
All bows and loops and draperies are
very wide. There was a piece of drab
felt about ten inches wide. and this
was bordered with narrow bands of
ings Of astrakhan, and other close fErs
are used Braided tam crowns with
band trimming win be feature for
young ladies. The great mob cap shapes
are more exaggerated than ever even
in the old days. The crown pieces are
embroidered in gold thread and bead
I'd; also covered with spangies.
:
least IS inches wide and has luster
entirely novel. 1t is obtained by weay-
ing two distinct shades of the same
color in it. This Is then woven some
what like surah. but it has the crisp
sheen of taffeta, while IL is much softer
and more pleasing when draped and
crushed. One piece in coral pink and
garnet was rich, and one blue. where
mazarin and cadet or Yale We're the
shades, was very handsome
The old cheney ribbons are revived
in such quality and degree Of art in
design as to make one understand how
Beecher used to buy pieces just to look
at. All the trimming ribbons are un-
usually wide Black and white striped
ribbon In quite variety is seen, but
not so wide, as they are designed more
for trimming dresses than millinery
OF flowers there are none for mill
linery purposes whatever and no fruit.
but there are some things made of
feathers and of silk and Grape with
chenille, which is, by the way, TO be
used to a greater extent than ever as
combinations in trimming. aud these
things are supposed to represent few
ers, and they are six and eight inches
In diameter, and they all have FROST
ing of some kind along each edge.
Brown and blue roses and all sorts of
colors to represent overgrown holly
hooks are seen. These will be used
mostly as pompons TO fill in the front
Of the hats. There are many English
walking hats. and these have a drapely
Of Grape or some one of the yelyets.
and panne and miroir are among them
HExRIETTE Rousseau.
