Materials for Winter Hats.

Felt will be much used for the smartest
kinds of hats, nevertheless, velvet-cov-
cred hats take the lead. and something
also will be done with fancy materials.
In this line some rather curious novel;
ties have been achieved, such as the i'm
prisoning of angora hair between two
layers of net, producing what appears
to be a slight distance a sort OF mottled
felt. Truss OF angora are also laid be-
tween a layer of felt and net; in both
cases the presence of the net IS hardly
to be detected save by the touch.
Whether these fancy materials will be
used TO any great extent is a question.
