Tiny French Theater Hats.
Ernm lac Boston Post.

iEcIiA AAi1 csoN = 49,
Over a year & a revolution in the
style of the theatc- hat took place in
Paris. when la belle parisienne, taught
the possibilities latent in tiny hats, con-
ceived the idea, merciful to man, of
wearing for her theater hat the tiniest
affair imaginable. Often these first
hats were nothing more than the
graceful Napoleon wreath"-its lau-
rels executed in the sheerest of net,
as often seeming like fairy gold, so
light and so exquisite, and Withal so
sparkling, was its texture.
Then Germany took it up and evolved
as wonderful things, some of them
bearing resemblance, though only in
the fa!ntest, most artistic way, to the
famous Mercury cap, in the way stiff
wings sprang off at each side.
And both Of them were nothing more
nor less than an outcome of the quaint
est idea ever crystallized into a bit of
headgear-the Juliet cap, beaded with
pearls or made up of tiny June roses.
This year comes a note from Paris
Of a treatment as pretty as it is diff
ferent from the things la have gone
before-a treatment of plumes, or,
rather, of one long, sweeping, usually
lncurled plume. which, by virtue of it's
Iery s%oftness of contour, is wonder
fully becoming to maid and matron
alike.
A bit of trimming goes with the
simplest arrangement of the plume-a
rose or a and of black velvet that
fashions a tiny hat like a c%oronal, or
perhaps aigrettes add their frail beauty
to the creation. A wreath Of pansies
with one of the stunning half-closed
willow" plumeS, made up q so-called
hat" that suited the high couture of
it's wearer as nothing else could have
done.
Often they are black or white; some
times a black plume is sci off with d
white flower of weird, unnatural, bu
unmistakable beauty, or-hut here is
the secret of Ia belle Parisienne's sue
cnss-it il depended upon to make tho
spot of color with which the whole cos
tune is given character and indiVidu-
ality, the spot of color which is aimee
at in scarf OF jewels or any one of the
many charming accessories of dress.
In such a case, it may be of the
! softest rose color or the brighteS
