Is rich garnet, with a slight car
dinal tinge, giving it life rather than
dullness. Hats of this are made il. all
shapes and are preferable trimmed in
roses and foliage. Many of the green
leaves of velvet or other textures are
used on such affairs and are a relief
from the fancy feather ideas of the
early season.
Another of the fads of the hour in
the way of millinery is gold roses. 1t
Is but an outcome of the craze for gold
that has not yet reached an end. These
roses are made of beautiful, thin gold
cloth and are exquisite in their richness
and artistic effect. They are tasteful
and novel, and when properly combined
and worn by the right person are very
effective. These gold roses are COM
bined with empire green velvet leaves,
and are especially liked upon black,
garnet and green velvet hats.

the facilities for doing so in this coun-
try.
'Our facilities for manufacture are
not yet high enough in many interests
to produce materials that will suit the
critical taste of this class of society.
But in addition to a lack of manufac-
turing facilities we lack also the ar
tistic class who have turned their ar
tistie faculties to mercantile art. We
have the artists, but they would rather
put their ideas on unsalssbls canvas
than upon saleable dress goods. Yet
the reproduction of artistic designs in
fabric was really the origin of the ma
iority of European art centers.
when we can supply the designs
and have the facilities for manufac-
ture the American woman will buy heI
gowns at home rather than go to Paris
for them. And, as American ideas are
now valued in Paris, New York may be-
come the fashion center Of the world
when we produce the needed men and
methods"
