Aicrettes in Fashionable London.

Atcrettes IN Fashionable London.
In view of Queen Alexandra's pro
nouncement against the socal1ed
aigrette, it seemed interesting to as-
certain whether aigrettes were ceasfng
to appear upon the hats displayed In
millfner's windows. Three rounds Of
inspection were made. the first along
the north side Of Oxford street. the
second down the east side OF Bend
street, the third from the northeastern
point OF Langham place down Regent
street to Piccadilly circus, says the
London Daily News.
Two persons we're engaged in the
expedition one Of whom numbered all
the hats exhibited, the other all the
aigrettes. Among aigrettes were in,
cluded birds of paradise (about half a
doZen), some two or three plumes be-
lieved to be, like the aigrette, nuptial
adornments, and one consisting appar-
emily Of the tail feathers of the Tyre
bird. No other feathers were reck-
oned In.
In spite of the queens express dis
approval, there were counted In three
London thoroughfares alone no less
than 1928 aigrettes, exposed for sale in
hats and bonnets, and this besides
large numbers lying not yet applied to
hats, ard numhcs yet larger paraded
shamelessly on human heads.
