inches in depth is the cerise facing.
This sounds at first as if it were to be
a trying fashion, but quite the contrary
is true. The cerise lining throws
rather rosy glow over the face, which
is especially becoming to women whose
compilations are somewhat sallow. The
accentuated droop to the brim makes
it impossible to see the facing con-
stantly, and yet gives the rosy effect
A huge purple hat of velvet, with a
crown of purple satin in lighter shades,
made of the same style of handmade
petals has such a facing and is ex-
tremely Frenchy, and would be becom-
ing to many a face which might find
the startling lights of black and white
trying.
Extremely Dressy Hats.
Some of the more extremely dressy
hats are more magnificent than any
ever seen here before. One large white
hat is of the heavy uncut velvet, which
looks like corded silk. The facing of
black chiffon velvet and the brim has
the extreme downward slope at the
back. No trimming is used except
plumes, and of these there are exactly
sixteen. They are graduated in size
and are all of single line ostrich kind
laid one over the other. The hat is
neither heavy-looking nor over
trimmed, but, on the contrary, is the
acme of good taste as well as style.
Another white hat is of smaller size
and in the cloche shape so much af-
fected. 1t is of fine white beaver with
facing of heavy black satin. A twist
of white panne velvet is around the
high crown, and falling from one side
are irregular punches of long grace
full plumes.
One might go on from one hat to an
other throughout the entire stock and
describe new beauties in each. Never
was a season SO gorgeous and never
one in which every kind of material
and trimmings was so appropriate.
Silk of all qualities and heavy satins,
both plain and fancy, are used In the
making of the great wide picture hats
land every hat is a picture hat these
days., while handsome felts, and rich
velvets vie with one another in popu-
! larity.
All Kinds of Plumage.
All varieties of plumage are used for
the trimmings. One of the prime ia
vorites, especially for outdoor wear, is
what is called barnyard piumage. This
| includes all the varieties of cOque
| feathers so certain to withstand the in
| clement weather and remain new and
| 1aunty. Ostrich feathers, both curled
and uncurled, marabou, aigrettes, and
many varieties unknown before are to
be found, and with these go quantities
of laces and ribbons and the customary
! furbelows. Ornaments of Japanese de-
| sign, both costly and unique. are mixed
| in with the daintiest of fabrics, and
| the great knob-headed pins shown last
season are still much in vogue.
Two extremes are noted in the length
of gowns. Those for the street are ex-
tremely short, as has been stated, and
| those for house wear, whether for the
| length Everything not strictly tai
| lored is made with at least a demi-
train, and a fine effect is given the fig
ure by the long trailing lines of soft
/ folds. The materials used, too, are
on the soft elinging order, voiies, crepe
/ de chenes and messaIines being favor
/ ties in this line of gowns.
A Magnificent Suit.
/ A magnificent creation by Paquin Is
shown i'm a three-piece suit. although
/ the word suit hardly fits the case. II
t is of pale blue chiffon broadcloth
| trimmed deliberately with the Yak an
tique lace so fashionable now. The
skirt is of the popular bell shape and
/ has inserted panels of the lace down
! the front. A heavy fold of the cloth
/ finishes the bottom The waist Is
trimmed also with the lace. and has
a chemisette effect of cluny lace as
well The triumph of the whole is in
the coat, which is an extremely loose
affair with the Jap sleeves. around
