payne, and a narrow brim invariably
faced to within a hairlne of its upper
edge with black velvet The feature of
its trimming is an enormous bow of black
satin ribbon velvet bordered and chinelle
embroidered, which is held in position
directly at the left side with a square
buckle of gold and rhinestones. The tur-
ban antithesfs of this shape has no brim
whatsoever. It's crown, of dark fur
beaver, is round at the top. and at the
lower edge is laid in deep side plaits
which form hood effect when on the
head. They are trimmed with bright
colored Roman ribbons and quilts. and
are immensely chic with tailored suits.
There is no doubt that they will prove
one of the favorite shapes with skating
costumes, as they are peculiarly adapt
able to fur and velvet treatment.
Many Ruching Effects.
The ruche fad has extended to hat
crowns chiefly. although in few in
stances this form of trimming is also
seen on the brims of chapeaux. This
treatment is usually employed on those
intended for use with certain costumes.
in which case the trimming of one fol-

other For instance. if a broadcfoth
receptions of some delicate shade
trimmed with dark satin and oriental
embroideries then the accompanying
rather large hat may be of shade of
felt to match the gown. Its brim is
faced on the under side with a band of
dark satin. like the ruching which over

wholly omitted and only a wide frillng
stand like battlement on the upper edge
of the crown. which is banded and rosette
trimmed with dark satin.
Ostrich Plume Simplicity.
The woman who has large collection
of ostrich plumes may use each and
every one of them this year. for more
smart-looking hats are plume garnished
than ever before. This is notably the
case in the more exclusive of the large
shapes such as those having crowns SO
large and brimS so fat that their divid-
ing line is difficult to discern. In many
instances and especially in stage ward
robes these hats are guiltess of band
ings, facing or buckles, and their trim
ming consists solely of the three. five OIL
seven tips which are set against the
crown at front or left side and thence
wander backward over the brm.
Silver Foliage and Lace.
Some of the hats of the dressy type
are made wholly of heavy white lace
which is laid fatty over the square higl
crowns and covers both sides of the far
ing brims AS only the handsomest sor
of laces are employed. such the baby

any trimming. But what they do get is
exceedingly attractive. as the large
clusters of roses. vioiets and lilies-of-the-
valley have a generous intormXture al
silver foliage, which is wonderfully eff
fective under an electric light. If very
light lace. such as point d'esprit, is used
to cover the hat. it should be mounte@
