one Of the Popular Beaver Late Fan Season

the front White ostrich tips covered
the hair at the back.
Another feather trimmed hat which
is extremely stunning. but suited only
to tail woman, has a very high
crown with one long white plume ris-
ing majeStically directly at the front
the curling tip reaching over the top
of the wide back brim, which is
turned abruptly up. In the example
in question the foundation is of vel
vet in London smoke gray with i'm
mense rosettes of silk in a darker
shade filing in the back and catching
the plume at the front.
Feather trimmed also, but with cock
rather than ostrich plumeS, is a shay
gy beaver plateau, bent and wired into
upright tOque shape. Trimming the
upper edge of the hat are motifs show
ing appliques of white Opa1escent pail
lettes surrounded by gold squeins.
White velvet and ribbon ends of bro
caded velvet in gold and pink, conceal
the bandeau on the left side. This is
an exceptionally smart example of the
all-White hat which is so much worn
with gray costumes.
Much more fragile is a high-crOWn-
ed chapeau of silver cloth with two
or three silver roses caught amid
chOuX of net forming the only trim
ming. A hat built entirely of white
tulle displays a single silver rose some
where above its brim, while the tulle
neck ruche and big mum to be worn
with it have a similar rose nesting in
the wealth of white maine folds.
A word as to the sequins and colored
embrOideries that adorn the upturned
brims of felt hats. These are worked
into the material of the hat as a gen
eral thing, and are not in the form of
appliques. PlateauX embroidered in
exQuisitely contrasting shades, Persian
effects or spangled motifs, can be pur-
chased ready for making up, and a
woman is thus able to have a really
French hat at a third of the cost Of
the imported models in this style.
In illustration of the milliners
fondness for combining colOrs in their
hats. a mushroom or uptuTned saucer
shape of amethyst felt. is trimmed on
top with Old-rOse velvet laid on in
daisy petal effect. A bandeau which
rises very high at the left side is COM
pletely hidden beneath amethyst tuIle,
while a rose in the faded pink color
ings drops over the hair.
A really exquisite combination shows
a felt of champagne color with up
turned brim faced with amethyst vel
vet. A gold quill fastened by gold
cloth rose constitutes the only adorn-
ment.
To return for a last glimpse at os-
trich plumes, the simplest hat of the
year, but one which is above all 9th
ers becoming. shows an enlarged polo
turban shape trimmed with long
feather caught exactly in front. and
sweeping across the side of the hat to
fall lightly at the back of the couture
The feather has it's quill caught by a
huge beadwOrk button.
A hat of this sort worn by a young
woman who looked as though she had
just stepped in from an artists picture
was set off by an Alice blue plume
fastened by a button of transparent
beadwork, showing a faded pink rose
woven at its center. Matching this
button was d neck ornament that sur
rounded her lace chemisette. The
necklace was composed of four pieces
of beadwork an inch and half
square, in design similar to the button
on the hat. These We're held together
/ by narrow chains of transparent bead
work, the upper C%e alone being
drawn tight the others curving loose
/ ly and each dotted with the tiniest
white feur-de-lis.
