a band Of the most exquisitely fine
mink. The high crown is literally COY
cred WIKI chouX of pTune panne, While
1T one side a whole mink twists itself
around a handsome silver buckle, The
second chapaau is in the same shape,
but quite small, covered tightly with
black taffeta and lined with fiame-red
velvet. In this instance the crown is
adorned with full choux of black panne.
These choux represent the very latest
dictate OF fashion. The trim may, with
good effect. be bOrdered with rich fur
and lined with some brilliant color, but
the choux which surround and cover
the crown are considered to be sutti-
cient trimming. When fur is not used
on the brim band of velvet takes its
place.
Still Triumphantly to the Fore.
In spite Of their u1iquity these cioche
hats are going to hold first place in
smart millinery during the winter, but
there is d variation on the alI-round
shape The newest Cloches are turned
UP slightly at the left side. close to the
front. TO some faces this deviation
from type is vast improvement. To
be sur the hats lost their quaint
mushroom appearance. but they gain in
SmartMsss. aui, besides, it is a welcome
change. Another new hat which Is max
ing strong bid for favor IS that with
tha trm much broader at the sjias than
AT the front or the back. IN fact, the
front and back Of this newcomer are
quite short. and the sides jut out in
most imposing manner. Thcs" hats are
! not for every woman 5 wear, aSd they de
mand . special kind Of hAirdress!ng. The
hair must be carried back over friZatteS
at the sid and dressed very loosely. The
whole effect is rather quaint as the trim
ming follows the outline Of the shape,
with the result that at the front and back
the hat looks very large. and en- prohle II
seems as small as toque. You know
the enormously large hats that are so
popular now! Well, a facetious milIner

the honeymoon hats. because they
are just big enough for two to get I'm

What Is Doing in Evening Modes.
| Society IS amusing itself just now by
giving little dinners ard theater parties
consequently the dinner gown and theater
wrap are of Importance, and many are the
i'stunning costumes turned out by the
couturieres for fair diners There is no
diversity of opinion as to the shape of the
evening Cloaks this winter. They are all

enormous size, more truly a continuation
