WINTER MILLINERY TRIMMING.
Among the novelties in trimming
must be reckoned bands of white
cocks feathers with little dabs of
black here and there. having much the
effect of ermine. 1t is effective as
trimming for black silk hats; the band
encircles the high crown and another
piece is fashioned into single bow
with Jet black buckle in the centre.
Hats are now covered with the new
feather tissue, which is made of os-
trich tips either used alone or woven
into foundation of marabent. So
far have only seen them in black,
the prettiest specimen being one of
amazon shape: that is to say, rolled
up on both sides and entirely devoid
