Turning a Muf Into a Hat.

economic this winter, furs are used
- in dozens of ways that make the
reincarnating of old muffs and boas
simply pastime work for clever fin
gers Fur is omnipresent. 1t is used
not only as hat trimming, but as a
border trimming for every dress fabric
from chiffon to velvet. And the big hat
trim med with a band of fur and huge
rose is quite as correct for evening wear
as the most costly plummed model-and
a deal easier for the limited pocketbook
to command.
If this fur-trimmed hat be matched
by velvet muff bordered with the same
pelt, one may rest assured that the cos
tune is the 'grand chic"-as Frenohwo-
men say-for restaurant and thcaier

fur a brown velvet hat in a modish shape
was seected-the shape of the hat, of
course being the secret of smartness in
such a simple model. Brown velvet of
the same shade was used for the muff
and the ornaments on bat and mu6 are
of gold cord and very dark brown velvet.
The same idea could he carried out with

lifts this simple hat at once into the
ranks of dressy evening headgear. For
an aigrette like this one would pay in
Paris more than a hundred francs-often
more than the cost of the hat on which
the ornament is used-but so beautiful
are these new aigrettes and SO complete
a trimming in themselves that many a
woman this season is contriving a velvet
or fur toque at home and putting all her
hat appropriation into one splendid aigrette
to pin on the side.

the rage in Paris, and all of these
shapes belong to the Louis period. when
they, were worn by the gay gallants and
adopted as military headgear. The mod
ern tricorne, by the bye, is not put on
with the point directly in the center of
the front. 1t must be twisted just the
least bit sideways SO that the point is
over the left eye.
The tricorne is becoming to almost
everyone. provided 1t sets far enough
down on the head. The bicorne is a rak-
ish. admiral hat, which is rather more
trying, and the Quatrecorne with its four
corners is only for the young face shaded
by plenty Of fluffy hair.

Jet trimmings of all sorts are having
a tremendous vogue, and black evening
gowns with TUNES trimmed with jet are
the smartest costume one can select now
for after-dark occasions. These black
gowns, however, must be very glitter
ing-dead black, or even lustrous black

chic. Every self-respecting evening
gown, also, has three layers-one of
satin as a foundation, one of embroid-
cred or metallic gauze and one of yelling
chiffon in tunic form-or the outer tunic
may be of beaded net and the under one
of softening chiffon. THESE chiffon tunics
are used over woolstuffs, also, and over
frocks of permo-m ixture-the wool and

ban having a tam-o'shanter crown which
droops in a point over one side of the

hat is of the old blue velvet, shirred over
cords so heavy that they are really ropes,
bands of the soft. gray fur being set
around the openings at the side of the
muff. Another effective set of this sort
includes a bottle-green velvet turban and
muff, trimmed with black lynx-the fur
being taken from rug mum of last sea-
