Plumage on Hats.


From the Millinery Trade Review.
Special houses are again pushing their
shapes covered with plumage, the feathers
gummed on a firm foundation. However,
I do not find them figuring to any extent
in the showrooms frequented by your buy
ers of pattern hats, and then only as quiet
unassuming specimens intended for every
day morning wear. Nor have I yet come
across any milliner who has much to say
in favor of the silk hats which some ware
house men are holding in readiness in the
hope Of their taking the town by storm
later on. That they will hit the popular
trade is by no means unlikely; in the
meanwhile, they are given the cold
shoulder in the most exclusive millinery
circles.
III respect to shapes there is consider
able divergence of opinion between those
rnilliners whose special province it is to
create new models. Your buyers, however,
will probably carry back with them good
ly selection of large hats. the very smart
est having for the most part quite broad
brims. and looking every inch their size,
tie brims being only slightly rolled, If at
all,
