but all fit closely TO the head at the
back. Velvet and silk flowers, ribbon

used, and no hat seemed complete

is the collar trimming" This is "a
box plated frilling, which enciroles
the high crowns of many hats, and
may be of velvet, silk, chiffon or ribbon.

Among the stylish hats shown at
Miss Il. NJ Woolley's millinery par
lors, Arundel Building, West street,
was a beautiful reseda green in be-
coming shape with rolled brim. The
foundation was chenille and silk braid
and graceful feather in o.tone
green dropped at the left side. A
charming Gansborough hat was of
black plush, about the brim of which
was a graceful ostrich plume. The
crown was of shirred panne velvet, a
knot of which rested against the hair
on the bandeau and the effect was sim
pie, yet elegant.
A fetching colonial hat was in brown
plush brim with crown of tiny folds
Of delicate shade OF mode, adorned
with a white plume shaded to two
tones of brown. On one side toward

the millinery parlors of Mrs Il. b.
Gardiner, on Church and Francis
streets at the opening today of the
handsome array of patterns hats and
bonnets. The most fetching hat at
Mrs. Gardeners displaygwas Ia French
Gainsborough, the crown Of which
was in light blue pleuch, the brim
was of open work in black, through
which two large black ostrich plumes
protruded ON either side and the brim
was edged with large jet beads.
All the hats show great deal OF
care in the trimming. There are many
novelties, among which is lyTa plume,
made of ostrich feathers and in the
shape of Tyre. A combination of
fur and lace is rather odd, but this
was seen to advantage in French
turban of cream lace with brim edged
with mink and crown of shaded COG

similar tone hung gracefully at the
left side. A chic walking hat IN seal
brown fur with cockatoo over the
crown and mirror velvet trimming re-
