ECCENTRICITlES IN HEAD
GEAR.


Paris. Nov. 17.-Fresh eccentricitles
in the realm of headgear are making
their appearance every day, especially
where so-called mushroom hats are
concerned. These, to give a bald inter-
probation, in many cases can only be
hkened to inverted pudding basins,
which-as though with view to ac-
eentuating their peculiarities-have the
trimming entirely relegated to the back,
the only exception being band OF vel
vet, which serves to define the line of
demarcation between the crown and the
brim. The hats are, as a rule, adorned
with large punches of ostrich feathers,
the tips of which curl over the top.
Fruit and flowers are frequently COM
bined i'm the new millinerial schemes,
and not only are the grapes mace Oh
purple velvet but they are often car
ried out in gold and silver tissue, many
of them being supplemented with leaves
in metallic tints. Charming white pic
ture hats are trimmed made with White
grapes frosted over with gold or silver
dust, while crab apples and black cher
ries are still to be seen, and in many IN
stances these are combined with roses
or other flowers. Curious anomalies,
such as black cherries with velvet
chrysanthenums. are by no means con-
sidered too great an outrage upon ma
ture. while the same liberties have been
taken i'm the case of the frequent com
bination of large tulips with douple
asteTs.
Blue beaver or velvet hats trimmed
with mole-colored tulle and wings 10
match are among the most attractive
and becoming novelties, while ivory
white felt hats adorned with emma
mon-colored tulle and feathers repre-
sent another scheme which has Deen
a6opted enthusiastically by young ana
old alike Two distinct shades of tulle
are. besides. often employed 10 trim
the same hat as in the case of a large
picture model of gray panne which was
Swathed with elephant-gray and rose
colored tuIle the immense feather ike
wise employed for its adOrnment being
carried out in the same two tones.
on some of the small velvet hats the
crowns are encircled with thick plaitS
Of tulIe i'm three shades Of one color,
the same idea being illustrated by
means of soft satin ribbon. Some very
good effects are likewise gained in the
realm of hats for morning wear de-
signed in dark blue felt, the crown or
which is enCircled with wide band OF
emerald green velvet caught into loose
Meats so as TO suggest that the gaut-
farine irons have been called into requi-
sftiOn to give it the fashionable and
waved effect, the result being far more
effective than the erstwhile popular
organ Meats which were so general
three or four years ago. The cOmblna-
ton of purple and rose pink which so
many people are adopting with enthusi-
asm was seen in the case of a large
sailor hat of dark Parma violet beaver,
which was simply wreathed with I'M
nense silk tea roses shading from rose
pink to crimson.
In spite of repeated representations
10 the contrary, streamers of tulle or
velvet. which can either be tied under
the chin or left floating behind, pro-
vide a supplement to many of the new
models. These depend from large fat
bow which covers the bandeau, while IN
other cases only one tulle string is pro-
vided, and this is caught to the lace
collar on the left side by means or a
brooch or tiny jeweled buckle.
The cult of the velvet gown has new
or been more considered than it has
this year. Probably the beauty Of the
new colOrings is to a great extent re-
snonsibIe for this, while the fact that
the leading dressmakers are supple
menting nearly all the velvet Princess
dresses with short wraps or pelerines
throughout the winter for outdoor
wear. Many Of these velvet wraps are
worked all over with harrow silk
braid. the addition of grelots, pende-
loques and fuchsia tassels being very
important part of the scheme, while II
some instances the coats are carried
out i'm corduroy velvet exactly CORE
spending in tone to the plain velvet oil
which the dress is formed.
The peIerine of corduroy velvet is
however. by no means confined exclu
siveIy to a gown which matches it il
color. and the present fancy for sof
white cloth with coats of mole-coloret
or bronze corduroy velvet is becoming
more pronounced as time goes on. II
such 2 case the skirt would be adorned
with silk braid which strikes the SAINT
note of color as the coat
