Trimmings, says the Millinery Trade
Review, continue to be arranged so as
to add little, or nothing, to the hight
of the hat. But in this matter there
is some divergence of opinions among
milliners, some disappearing altogether

line of the hat, while others consider
it is better to break this outline some
what Dropping trimmings are unani-
mously favored, pendant punches of
flowers and berries, lace and feathers
dropping down the back and side.
These have taken the place of the
more solid bows and other ornaments
placed on the shelving brim behind.
Frequently the pendant arrangements
dangle over the left ear or little be-
hind it, instead of at the back, COM
