Among the many trimming novelties
noticed and some recent importations are
the tiny shlrred bands an,. ruches, so mar
row as to be applied in much the same
way as braid or cord would be- 30 beau-
tiful!y made are these shirred trimmings
that they are hardly more 'bunchy in ap-
pearance than many of the braids. and as
trimming they are immensely rich and
effective when applied in large. bold
design.
Braided Buttons Smart.
The rage for braidins Is carried even to
the small detail Of buttons, and one sees
on some Of the imported coats huge but
tons showing centers Of embroidered vel
vet, the outer edge Of braiding in the
finest and most supple of soutaches.
Other buttons are fat, lumpy looking af-
fairs of interlaced and interviewer braids
of different widths and odd combinations
of color dexterously worked together to
attain the desired shape. These are, of
course. all handmade. and. while ngur-
ing largely on velvet and elaborate cloth
wraps. will probably be even more popu-
lar later on as decoration for fur gar
ments and for cloth garments, fur trim
med The unprecedented quantities of
braid and button trimmings now dis
played all indicate that every type of
material from chiffon to fur, w4i be
ornamented along somewhat the same
lines.
An Attractive Hat.
OF the moderately sized hats seen this
season. one of mole-colored beaver, with
straight brim and high bell crown, is
very becoming. 1t is trimmed with a mar
row twisted band of velvet and tulle
around the lower edge of the crown. and
dark punches of grapes, arranged alter
nately SO as to cover both crown and
brim.
Hints on Millinery.
Every woman should understand the
value of the bandeau-that is, it's uses
that its abuses may be corrected Many
hat that would If properly mounted be
becoming is found unbecoming by the
woman trying it on simply because the
bandeau is not arranged to suit her shape
of head and face 1t seems as though a
separable bandeau to be adjusted to suit
each head would be far better than tie
present cut and dried fastening in Of this
accessory, although, of course, milliners
will remove the bandeau and adjust the
hat properly If requested or If they I'M
derstand their art-which, alas, many do
not.
Bandeaus are of different lengths and

pushed up in the hat to any desired
height and made either low or high. My
advice to the woman who has on hand a
hat or hats that do not suit her. or
with which she is not suited, Is
to experiment with the bandeau until the
right tilt or becoming angle has been
found and then fasten the bandeau in
On the tilt and general set of the
hat on the head its style depends. Each
style of hat has It's own tilt for each
face, and the same hat will suit dlssimi-
lar types If trimmed and adjusted to that
end.
The Fashionable Felt.
An attractive walking hat of light gray
felt has the left brim broader than the
right, and the edge rolls the least bit
from the right side across the front The
edge is unfinished The wing of white
gull. with curved part finished by the in
sertion of very glossy black feathers, Is
placed at the front of Inc hat being
placed upside down, with the ends ex-
tending out over the left brim, slanting
toward the back.
Back Of this, but coming out from be-
hind 1t, to the right, is large, quite
fiat chou Of black satin, and back of this
a shorter gull wing rises and goes out
across the rather low crown. There Is no
band about the crown or other trimming
