THE NEW DIRECTOIRE HAT.

The very newest shape, the
Directoire style is a hat with a
rather high crown and brim
that slants forward in the old
Poke Bonnet fashion, but is
abruptly turned back at some
point, the turn however being a
matter of bending the brim
near. the edge rather than slant
ing it from the crown.
} A very smart model from a
noted French house is made of
black satin. The brim is short
in front and perfectly straight
but is turned up in the back.
The high crown is of black
panne velvet put on in a full
puffed effect. The brim is faced
underneath with pale yellow
satin. The trimming consists of
rather short. full ostrich tips in
willow effect standing upright at
the right side of the hat. A
very novel feature are the satin
streamefs that fasten at the left
side of the chin beneath big
satin rOsette, the centre formed
by d pink rose. T. 80

TRIMMINGS USED IN MILLINERY

Feathers are decidedly the most
popular trimming this season. Ostrich
plumes and tips are naturally used on
the dressy hats, and many wings and
new band effects are seen. Heron
aigrettes are considered very smart.
Ribbons are largely used particularly
in big rosette effects in combination
with feathers. Immense jet buckles
are seen on some of the new hats, a
few of these ornaments being at least
ten inches long by three high.
