The Caucasian. (Shreveport, La.) 1900-192?, 1903-04-12


delicately. On the left side under the
brim there was one shriveled white
rose. with brown and wrinkled foliage.
On the place where the crown would
be, supposing there was crown, was
fine white aigret held by twisted
dark green velvet knot and so placed
that it almost lay down. The feathery
part was turned to the front. Many
aigrets are seen, and all are set for
ward in the same way and held by
some kind of ornament in that posi-
ton.
noticed one queerly shaped hat. It
was part turban, but with the brim
made to stand out straight on the right
side and front, while the rest was high
brimmed. The whole hat was made
OF braid an inch wide in black and
white woven so that the black and
white formed plaid. There was lit
tie chiffon drawn around the crown,
and almost in front was an all black
aigret held by rich silver and jet
arrow. One striking hat was made of
plain roughish straw in beige shade.
1t was slightly dipped in front, while
the whole thing was covered with ge-
raniums in scarlet and pink, their vel
vety petals covering the whole with
out any foliage.
On the other hand, there are thou
sands of hats with more foliage than
flowers, as nature produces them-vio-
let's, lilacs, myosotis, syringia, with
white blossoms and masses Of the
beautiful green leaves; dogwood, flag
lilies, orchids, hydrangeas, roses, hi
discus, lilies of the valley and roses of
every known kind. And this by no
means exhausts the list.
In the makeup hats-for there are
many that are for sale ready to trim
there was one exquisite thing for a
young woman. The fat itself was of
pale blue chiffon laid in fat folds and
without crown. When there is no
crown. there is bandeau beneath the
hat which serves to hold it on the head
Over the chiffon was laid a piece of
heavy white lace, and above that, like
q wreath, lay pink crush roses, with
Just couple of leaves. Beneath the
left side of the brim there were some
more roses and across the back, partly
falling on the hair, whole big bunch
Of buds scarcely showing the pink, so
small they were intended to appear.
A fiat hat of white chiffon had a
wreath of delicately tinted hydrangea
all around the brim and a fiat looped
bow of ribbon to match hanging at the
back. Another striking confection was
Of all white chiffon and louisine ribbon,
with big rose spray, with lots of foil
age, one jack rose and one bud The
ribbon was brought all around the
orim exactly on the edge in a series of
ouffs and loops, with large bow at
he back where the ribbon falls to the
shoulders. A very dainty pale blue
chiffon is laid in rather loose folds on
orim and crown. Lying fat on the
orim and beneath it are punches of
syringia. 1t is very pleasing. The
same scheme was carried out in black.
Black and white are quite as well liked
,or small hats as last season. A fat |
nat of black mohair has a drapery of |
white tulle around the brim, and nes-
led in this is wreath of lilies of the |
Talley, with many leaves.
Turbans, fats and tricornes and many
'hapes adapted for the snowy picture
lats are seen, but the turbans are |
mostly black or in dark colors and with |
little trimming. The hats are made OF
closely shirred or folded chiffon or
wen fuile and ornamented with per
laps q few buttons Of fine Jet. II
Among the newest Of the hats is the |
'ailor shape. Chip in all Of the light
md delicate shades of the seasons
.oiors b seen, and the passion for
nercerfztng things has reached that
