triumph, and when one considers the
extreme ugliness of it's outline, and
the rarity of the saving grace of be-
comingness, this is little short of
amazing. The latest bell-shaped hats
are made of ecru lace, and bound with
velvet or silk, with a full beefeater
crown of lace, tied with ribbons at one
side, while usually a rose is laid on the
left side of the brim. Stitched linen is
also called into service for the bell
shaped hat, and trimmed with a twist

questionable charms of the b~ell-shaped
hat expressed in colored crinoline
lined with black MORE, the sole trim

mass of waving feather culled from
the back or breast of the farmyard

chou there was a cluster of three black
ostrich tips, and jutting from the cen

aigrette. 1t was decidedly a large hat,
but so quiet and 'lady-like" that 1t
would not attract undue attention, and
to its fair owner it proved delightfully."-

the fashion to wear black hats with
white gowns and to accompany these
with fine black spotted wells, edged
and inserted with fine ivory lace. One
or two notable leaders of fashion in
Paris started this fashion at the end
of the last season, and 1t has caught

Let us speak now of the new
sleeves which are set in folds or pleats
from shoulder to elbow, and which
then extend in mitten fashion right
down to the wrists. These sleeves are
leaping into favor with the Parish
