The Ocala banner., 1906-10-12
New, York, October 9, 1906.

To the Ocala Banner:
One sees a multitude and variety
of styles in the New York stores. In
fact, so many different models are
shown that one gets dizzy and it is
almost impossible to determine what
is what" this season.
However, as one artists model has
announced the girl of 1907 must be
tall, slender and simple-her height
may be due to Cuban heels, her SLIM
ness to massage and her simplicity
must be artistic.
Hats this season are quite fetching.
They are exceedingly quaint and
original and not unbecoming.
Shapes are not unusual, but trim
mings are. In fact, some of the
trimmings are of stuffs that have
never been used for millinery pur-
poses in the memory of the present
generation of smart hat-wearers.
Some beautiful hats are shown at
one of the importers. There is a
picture hat of gray velvet-the smoky
gray that looks like oxidized silver
In front of it is mass of gray roses
made of silk and velvet. At one side
is panache of ostrich feathers in
the most exquisite shades of gray
and green. At the back are dropping
loops of green velvet ribbon-a fresh,
light vivid green, like the new leaves
In spring.
Another odd hat was small, trim
and neat, and rather long and mar
row. Its sides curled rp almost to
the top of the crown, and the little
point of the brim that was left in
front was only an inch and half
wide. The little hat was covered
smoothly with velvet, and for all
adornment had long, soft, white os-
prey that started from the front and
swept back along the side Where
the osprey started was a curious or
nament, round plaque of old-time
bead embroidery showing rose in
shaded pink and reds. ON a cream
ground.
A third hat was of black velvet,
and in front were many short loops
of Greasy ribbon embroidered with
silk thread. The crown was hidden
beneath perfect snowfall of white
marahout.
A sage green velevt hat, with a
nat crown of medium height and a
straight, narrow brim, is trimmed
with whole sable, body, head, tail
and all, and three ostrich tips of
soft sage green.
Soft silk sashes with embroidered
scalloped edges are seen upon some
Of the sheer French gowns. They
are either used as short wasted
girdle or are passed around the waist
several times, drawn to the top of
the girdle swathing in the back, and
tied there, the falling ends giving a
short wasted Empire suggestion.
The same arrangement is good for
and silk or ribbon sash and fringes
ON sash ends are again gaining in pop
ularity.
Wells are more important than ev-
er to the fashionable woman and the
floating folds of chiffon, net, etc., are
very becoming if artistically adjust
ed. The lace veil bids fair to become
q winter favorite and the Tosca net
with decorative borders are popular.
White net dotted in black and en-
broidered in vine trailing floral de-
sign above hem of white chiffon is
one of the new things.
Bangles and bracelts of every
style under the sun--chains, ropes
thin bands set with crystal "gems, >
wide fiat bands of solid metal or OF
filigree, heavy, round slave bangles,
and hoops set half way round with
garnets, green crystal, or American
sapphires. These are very pretty fol
the shirt-sleeved girl
Grapes are much in evidence on The
new hats and most lucious color eff
fects are obtained in them, for they
shade thoroughly many of the fash
ionable colorings and are particularly
effective in the browns, purple blues
grays and greens. Golden yellow
white and purple grapes are Otter
combined, and flowers or plumes ar,
often used with the fruit.
Long Kid gloves are shown in ey
cry color, to match every gown, n,
matter what shade. For street wea
