LONDON, Nov. 10.-For audacious
excursions into the realms of millinery
novelty commend me to the early au-
tumn. Fur Is being pressed into the
service as hat trimming, and in a
case noticed last week, from the opened
mouth of sable sprang coquille of
cobweb-like ficelle lace, the pattern of
which was outlined with cerise chenille.
The crown of the hat was of cerise vel
vet and lace, and the lace cachepeigne
and veil coincided. Sportswomen will
find the st. Hubert hats very smart.
Round as to crown, and with round and
slightly upturned brims, they are sim
ply trimmed with a carelessly twisted
rouleau of velvet tied at one side in a
homemade" bow. The hats look as if
made of shagreen, an old way of dress
ing leather, and are sold in soft wood
land green colors and a dingy though
very smart yellow shade.
Hat shapes covered with stretched
Terry velvet and bengaline are being
seen trimmed with loops of velvet rib
bon and clusters of flowers, and fra-
quently crude contrasts of colorings
are introduced, particularly in purple
and green. They are Intentionally
crude. since they are copies of the
Second Empire period taste, but l am
sure the lustrous velvets that are SO
supple, and the felts that are equally
so, will be better liked and thousand
times more becoming to nine faces out
of ten. Felt cloths that can be twisted
at Will into any shape will prove a well
come addition to the home millinery.

last week, possessed no touch of bright
ness about it, except that which was
provided by band of gold gallon posed
three-quarters of the way round il.
The other quarter was covered with
mole-colored ostrich feathers, under
which the gallon lost itself. Unlike the
ordinary kind. the gallon was raised In
special bosses Of gold, and looked very
much like the bullion used upon some
uniforms in olden times.
One OF the heritages the summer sea-
son left us is the lace coatee, now de-
voted to the use of bridge players. The
lace employed has a very coarse SER
rated mesh background, and is covered
with repousee braiding in mounds

most handsome whole.
The introduction of embroidered vel
Welt bands laid loosely over the lace is
fortunate one, and brings into nlav a
