Rolling Drim Sailors Very Chic For After

| noon Wear.
Rolling brim sailor hats, covered with
| taffeta, are to be among the smart
est chapeaux designed for afternoon
| wear. These have tremendous chic,
and the very smartest ones are in
| pale blue and violet. One in Il pale
violet color is plainly covered save
along the edge, where it is beauti-
fully shirred in little tucks. 1t has
low broad crown, which is of no
Importance whatever as compared with
the splendid snake-curled plume of
deep eggplant purple that hovers
around the brlm. This hat, for any
one who can and does wear violet. is
the hight of chic and simplicity. An
other in pale blue is covered, all save
a disc at the crowns centre. with
accordioned blue taffeta. This hat Is
bound with blue velvet and the CEN
tire of the crown is of the violet. Two
blue birds, their heads almost meeting
forward. are placed fatty along each
side of this very dainty hat. Peau de
sole is used. too, for covering these
hats. So Is Louisine.
Sealskin Alpine-Very, very Frenchy
Is a lately imported model which is
calculated to exploit the Frenchman's
idea of what an English walking hat
might. could, would or should be like.
The shape is as old as most of us-if
not older-and it is covered with rich
est sealsliin. The dented crown is
banked high all around with a wreath
of velvet .nasturtiums in their splen-
did shadings of orange and gold and
yellow, and at the back those blossoms
run over onto the coiffure.

that looks like its namesake fur minus
the black tails. The only trimming is

Twisted Pmmes-It seemed that the
plume when 1t was curled backward

full plume in cascade effect and in
stead Of being curled each dainty
strand of the feather has been twisted.

High Prlestess Cloak.

A sumptuous evening cloak. which
strlklngly illustrates the tendency to
pile on adornment, is to be called the
High Priestess. 1t really does suggest
certain vestments, and is almost bar
barrie in splendor. The cloak proper
Is of sun-ray accordioned turquoise
blue broadcloth. with angel sleeves
adorned with French folds. At the
front the collar, which is of cloth ap-
plique held together with Renaissance
lace made of gold threads and fine
braid, is continued in stole effect, while
at the back 1t takes the form of grad.
uated, overlapping battlements.
A strapping of the cloth finishes all
this adornment of lace and applique.
\ cascade-like rutIie of cream Point do
Lierre finishes the stoles, and is down
each side of the battlemented back

Quite le dernier cri are sleeve ruffles.
Though they were noted on imported
models of few months since, the av-
erage woman has not seen such a
sleeve worn. One must admit this
model is exaggerated, and that the
most ''wearable" costumes offered
boast instead two little frllls, which
peep out from beneath the broad cuffs.
One who is seeking something not
likely to blush unseen may well admire

blue and green tones being llghtened

ates this long shoulder effect The
inevitable gilt buttons serve as an ",

lions and is charmingly graceful as
we'll as comfortable. The model is
made of fig"red Japanese crepe with
bands of plain colored Habutai silk,
but all the materials used for negli-
gees are appropriate. Simple cotton
,repes, lawns and the like are always
pretty, while the many light weight
French and Scotch flannels, cashmere
and albatross are admirable for the
garments of colder weather. The point
ed sleeves are eminently becoming and
more delightful lines and folds, but
the round ones, shown in the back
view, can be substituted If preferred.
The kimono Is made with fronts and
back that are shirred and arranged
over foundation yoke, and falls in
soft folds from that point to the floor.
The sleeves are cut in one piece each,
and they, with the neck and front
edges, are finished with bands.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is eight and three
fourths yards twenty-seven inches
wide. seven yards thirty-two inches
wide or four and half yards forty
four inches wide, with three and three
eighth yards of silk for bands.

model, designed by May Manton,

warm colors, and Is finished with
stitching in corticelli silk; but the

sleeves and skirt. The cape Is seam

back and over each sleeve. The sleeves
are full and ample and are finished
with pointed flare cuffs. At the neck

A Fashion Fancy.


The smart girl has a new use for
heavy silk cord. She is again demon.
strating her cleverness by converting 1t
into novel corsage decoration. Tho
silk cord is thick and preferably black,
and here and there she sews to it big
black passementerie balls. These balls
are sometimes of silk, and sometimes
are studded with jet beads. To look
effective the cord should be at least
five yards long. She winds it loosely
about her neck, crossing it in the back.
and keeping one end longer than the
other; she does the same thing over
and over again. until she has four
loops arranged in festoon fashion over
the front of her waist, with each loop
longer than the last. After she has
made four loops. she ties the two ends
at the left side in bow. the ends Of
which are either finished with black
silk tassels or passementerie balls.
This cord corsage decoration gives
touch of charm and newness to a plain
waist, and is happy variation from
the bead chains.-Woman' Home Com.

Difference In Bird Songs.

Much of the attractiveness OF the
voice Of the wood-thrush is due to the
excellent sounding-boar furnished by
the foliage by which his songs are
backed. In an open field the tones
would be deadened and their ringing
quality lost. 1t would perhaps be going
too far to credit him with knowledge
of the value of his chosen environ
ment, but he certainly shows no dis
position to abandon the advantages he
thus secures. in this respect differing
from several of his usual associates.
The cardinal, wood pewee, Carolina
wren. and many other woodland birds
frequently pour their songs into tho
larger spaces of the open meadow. and
the wood-thrush, through chance or
choice. thus gains distinct advantage
over these less consistent performers.
There Is marked difference In tho
light notes of the Carolina wren that
come from fence post or isolated tree
and those that ring out in the echoing
forest. The cardinals rich portamen.
tos, too, are far less striking In tho
pasture than In the deep wood. And
much of the sad sentiment of the mel
ancholy plant of the wood pewee Is
lost when it rises from bush in the
open instead of stealing out of the
heart OF the wood.-Henry Oldys. In
