,Aat in the form of Louis XIV bows.
Bows made of No. u ribbon velvet are
often placed under the brim, loops and
ends hanging down behind the ear.
Fan-shaped bows with a great many
loops. for the back of hats, are some
times made Of this ribbon, sometimes
Of piece velvet. Large bows OF four
or more large loops, fastened in the
center by buckle are laid fat on
plateau hats. Another arrangement
consists of a wide piece of accordion
lpleated satin, forming a big fat ro-
set'c, the pleats being smoothed out
on either side. BAH rosettes about the
size OF big orange are very fashion
able. These may be made Of loops OF
rather wide ribbon or of fold of ma
,terial closely gathered. Wide POmpa-
oour and plaid ribbons may be used for
the purpose, and large fiat rosettes OF
cockades are equally favored, parti-
cularly made in two shades Of bright
green or golden velvet, or of chine
howered ribbon bordered with black
