Speaking of hats, a woman in a street
car the other day had a unique decoration
IN her headcoVering. There were three
little yellow canaries In the very front
or 1t nodding over her face. There Is
the general humanitarian reason for not
wearing birds as hat trimmings, but to
wear canaries seems more Objectionable
than anything else. So many people
nave them for pets and have a warm

Three colors, most frequently seen In
the SILK or ribbon trimmings, punched to-

found on many hats.
Butter color straw and black velvet are
as attractive as ever combined this wear.
The omnipresent black velvet ribbon in
narrow widths, combined with braids of
straw the same width, forms some of the
attractive hats.
Pretty fancy waists are made of alter
nate rows of inch-wide velvet and tucxs
running around the waist and sleeves.
The rows of tucks fill an inch-wide space.

in black and colrs of silk.
Handsome pattern gowns are of point

more stylish. however, in appliqued
gowns than the black cloth appliqued

The handkerchief waists, the handker-
chief stocks, and the same material In
Persian designs, on outing hats, are all
stylish and pretty or not according to in
dividual tastes. 1t takes three large

open full length. The sleeve is cut in a
straight piece to fall away from the
arm.
The many little Eton Jacket effects that
are seen have most of them some an
pearance of fastening across the front.
Some have bows, some straps with
buckles, many little silk cords and but
tons, while another will have a silk
scarf coming from under a turned-oyer
collar and tying III front. Tiny little
