A New York milllner who aims to At the
invisible wrath as well az the wraith's
visible person has large and highly salts
fed following. N
To accept the usual advice as TO selecting
garments which harmonize with the eyes
or hair or both sis not difficult. Any way
farer, without reference to sex or previous
incarnation, not color blind can easily dc
this. But when 1t comes to fitting the thing
which ordinary individuals do not see, COM
plexities and perplexities arise.
To begin with, the milliner who attempts
to adjust bonnets to the soul was simply an
accomplished milliner. It was not until she
became tired OF seeing most women faring
about topped by hats so foreign to them
az to be nothing short OF grotesque that
she began to question II 1t was not possible
to make hats which would belong ethically
as well as legally to their wearers.
At last she made up her mind to see what
she could do to this end, but sho would
never have set about 1t had she known the
difficulties she would encounter There was
no awakening to find that success had come
to her overnight. ~ "L".
For years she studied, worked and ex-
perimented. Beginning with phrenology,
she proceeded to physiognomy and psychol-
ogy and also took course in an art school.
Later she dipped into the occult.
When abe was able to apply to her work
what she had learned abe was surprised at
what she was able to accomplish. Soon
certain women discovered that by using her
knowledge Of philosophy and ethics in FORM
ing and adorning hats she could do for them
what others could not. Assured OF the
patronage Of these, she started an inde-
pendent career. Said one Of these custom
ers, who Is able to pay the price Of whatever
styikes her fancy:
mile D. makes the only really salts
factory hats ever have been able to get.
I always feel both at home and perfectly
correct In them. They seem to belong to
my head as much as my hair. What's
more, every one even my husband, who
doesn't care peg for things Of that sort,
remarks them. am more than willing to
pay her exorbitant prices"
Although not to be found In q shop on
or just of Fifth avenue. her prices. as her
customer said. are high, very high, but 1t
takes time. as she explains q great deal Of IL.
to At the body. mind and soul. not to mention
the work and cost of preparing herself to
do it successfully.
In speaking Of this she says that since
she has been studying soul form, auras
and other things not known TO the ordinary
individual save by hearsay she has found
that the more highly developed person Is
ethically the lighter and more aerial the
hat must appear. whatever the material
used. il it Ii to suit the wearer. II this is
true here is q way to determine not only
ones ethical nature but that OF one 8
neighbor.
While making nothing else. this ftter
OF hats to the trinity which is supposed
TO constitute the individual occasionally
plans an entire costume for favorite Gus
TONER, One Of these costumes belongs to a
New York woman we'll known socially,
The gown is Of soft daphanous black
material. which lends itself perfectly to the
long shimmering lines which seem to reach
from throat to hem, though az q matter OF
fact it is as to the back at least, in Empire
style. There is no note of color. and the
rich delicate material is 80 coordinate with
the wearer that it seems to belong to her
as the plumage belongs to a bird.
The large hat 10 80 fashioned and the
delicate feather which is it's only orna-
ment is 80 placed that the effect 10 Of airy
lightness, and it seems to rest on the head
Of the wearer as q flower is held on Its
stalk. The only ornament worn with this
black costume. which is the reverse Of
sombre in effect, is a string Of pearls. In
a room filed with fashionably dressed
people this woman Is as distinctive as an
annunciation lily standing in aloofness
crowded about with pcppies. mar!solds
and hollyhocks.
When asked why she had selected black
FOR this womans costume. since her eyes
were blue gray and her fluffy hair a rare
mouse colored blond. Mile. D. explained
that 1t was the quality OF the soul which
was to be considered and not the color OF
eyes or hair or the colors which make
up the aura. The result Of the blending
of these last was one of the things she con-
sidered in the case OF this woman. who
had what Oriental philosophers. describt
as highly developed soul: the sort OF sou
which is not expressed in bands OF rainbow
colors but in the blending OF them. which
constitutes white light.
Mile. D. said that the black costume
selected for this woman threw into strong
relief by contrast the white light Of heI
soul. as it did the pearly tints Of her skin
and that the radiant purity Of the pearll

the neck OF her dress which was high
though the white Of her neck gleamet
through it. was in harmony. as nearly a.
any material thing could be. with the shin
ing light Of her spirit.
Still while all these deep ethical natter
are very much considered. fashion is by
no means ignored. To follow the modes
is not difficult for her in these days. sincs
Fashion leaves her subjects wide liberty
Of choice.

that it Is much more satisfactory to make
