forms little chous against the bandeau, also
of velvet 1t goes around to the back, and
there also forms chous and loops. On the
top Of the crown, little to the back and
left, is laid bird in orange, yellow and
various shades of blue, having also touches
of black. The black beak stands out over
the crown at the right front. The head Is
in brilliant orange and yellow tones and the
body in rich vivid blues, with a suggestion
Of orange in the center of the top. The
bird Of paradise plumes forming the =, tan are
gled with vivid black, falls out over the left
side and also at the back in a profusion OF
stems The bird is a made one.
Mrs. August Belmont, jr., Is wearing with
a green cloth coat and skirt rather large
green hat, evidently velvet, trimmed with
shaded green roses. This hat Is rather
large, is rolled at the left side, and the
green roses are massed in around the crown
especially at the back and the left between
crown and brim. Some sort of full green
stuff is also massed in with the roses, but
of the latter there are many.
A tan-eolored felt hat, one of the crush
able variety, seen lately at the luncheon
hour, topping light brown cloth walking
skirt and half-length coat, had brown vel
vet fold around the crown. In the 'front.' a
little to the left, the soft brim was rolled
back and a mass of fluffy owls feathers in
palest tan, mottled with brown and white,
was set on. This plumage-from the bird s.
breast-f1uffed back much as it does on the
owl, only instead Of turning down it turned
up and fuffed over back. To tell the truth.
1t was not very pretty but 1t is easily cop
led If one likes the dat-fronted effect.
