The Millinery Season has open
ed with all its new shapes, flowers,
ribbons, plumages, braids and styles,
which are entirely novel and differ
ent from previous seasons. With
these novelties in all the colorings,
there are also tall crowns, slightly
tapering bell, cadet cap crowns and
indented Scotch cap, which are very
popular and effective.
There is no such considerable show of tall
crowns in the felt hats, the greater number of the
block models have been fashioned with low crowns
and bell crowns.
Pushes in both the mole skin and the beaver
in fancy or plain weaves have come out to contest
favor with the velvets in the construction OF rich
hats and bonnets, the velvet shading from the edge
in the width and unbra stripping are shown DeSlaeS
plain colors in tine pushes.
For less heavier effects for ladies' head gear
we are using chiffon velvets, most frequently shlr-
red on the order of the French MODELS While para
disc Birds Plumes and Hackle Breasts and Pom
Pons are used for trimming We show quite an
extensive line of them from the most inexpensive
to the highest novelty of the season.
The Snake Plumes laid around the crown that
sweeps over the edge of the brm in the back seem
to be very popular for the swell evening and dress
shades in black, white and all coorings.
Our stock of flowers suitable for this time of
the season, made of silk and vevets with shaded
foliage to match, is quite extensive. They are
beautiful and larger than in previous seasons, to
match all the new shadngs of vevets and silks.
w. We are showing a very strong line OF large
black white and coored dress hats, the most elab-
crate designs carried out in the Eastern and our
own work rooms.
