The San Francisco call., 1909-12-12

among the most popular OF the medium
shapes generally used for street wear.
and in the turbans number of historic
models have served as inspiration, as
we have said.
Oftentirnes the crown and upper part
of a hat or turban will be covered with
a smoothly applied, shaped section of
rich brocade or "damasse" silk. in mel
low, delicateiy and beautifully blended
ancient toness but this brocade is so
conspicuous and obtrusive material
that unless it is used with the utmost
discretion and knowledge the effect Is
disastrous.
In selecting hat. not only should
the question OF becomingness be con-
sidered, but the question of fitness as
well. No matter how attractive the hat
may be in itself. if it is combined with
the wrong costume, or worn by the
wrong woman, its effect is altogether
lost. Rich and elaborate dress hats
should. of course. never be used with
severe tailor mades; neither should
plain street hats be worn with dressy

so extravagantly popular during the
last few years. is now being used for
the last times, prior to its complete
disappearance from among the fash
ionable trimmings. In its place the
plain long flued ostrich plumes are now
being used by those who wish to keep
fully abreast of the fashions.
Ostrich banding. a continuous trim
ming made of ostrich tips, is employed
a good deal, sometimes being wound
around and around so that the eptire
top of hat is covered. and marabout
is often applied in the same way.
Paradise feathers and aigrettes are
high in popular favor. and the soft
gourah aigrettes are also much priced
ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS
Among the floral trimmings there are
some exquisitely beautiful productions
of velvet and silk this season, which
almost rival the natural blossoms in
beauty. Orchids and irises harmonic
ing with the new and lovely shades of
purple and old rose now so much used
pansies, petunias and, of course, roses

best effect.
decided tendency toward a reduc-
tion in the kinds and amount of trim
ming is very noticeable; many of the
hats have simply a metallic ornament.
band of fur, a small group of flowers
made of metallic tissue, or toufie of
feathers or aagrettes. Some of the hats,
it is true, are trimmed with more elab-
oration. but this leaning toward SIM
plicity is evident in majority of cases.
On the fur hats little trimming is nee
essary, as the richness and beauty of
the material itself is almost SUFFICIENT
ornament.
THE SHAPES OF THE HATS
The shapes that are preferred this
season are. in the dress hats. various
large, wide brimmed styles with
sweeping lines like those seen in the
Rubens and vandyke portraits; Gains
borough. Rembrandt and some of the
other old masters have also inspired
many of the models.
The tricorne and the marquis are
The San Francisco call., 1909-12-12

roses and flowers, are even more prom
inently featured than those of silk and
velvet. which make some pretense Of
resembling nature.
COLORS IN MILLINERY
The colors of tho season most used
for the millinery are, first of all. black.
which is seen far more often than any
OF the others; then tho shades OF raisin
and prune. OF old rose and burgundy,
mustard. royal or kings blue, which is
favorite color; aeroplane. a shade of
green called absinthe, passifiore, q
mauve; chartreuse and number Of
others
The head size of most of the hats and
turbans this season is large. so that
they come down well over the hair, but
not at all to the extent of extinguish-
ing the wearer, as some of the inverted
baskets of last spring appeared to do.
A band is often placed inside. so that
the hat does not descend over the face

ness OF velvet. Ermine has been worn
SO commonly and has been so cheaply
and conspicuously Initiated that 1t is
no longer in favor.
TRIMMINGS OF FUR
Many of the large velvet dress hats
times with the head and tail Of the
animal in evidence, sometimes with
the fur applied around the crown ana
fastened in a fat knot. When the hat
is made or trimmed with fur 1t Is well
to be sure that the other furs which
are worn with # match or else har-
monize so perfectly that there is no
appearance of incongruity.
For the under facing of brims velvet
is the material par excellence. and in
a great majority of cases it is black.
though colors are also used when oc-
casion requires. Sometimes gold or
other metallic tissues are employed for
facings. and generally the antique
gold is chosen for this.
The crowns and upper brims of the
hats are sometimes of velvet, some
times of felt or of moire velours or
ottoman silk. Silk beaver is favorite
material for the small hats and some
of the large ones as well, and many of
the tricornes are made in the rough,
furry beaver.
METALLIC EFFECTS
The penchant for metallic effects
still continues; old steel or old gole
ribbons enriched with large stones,
such as amethysts, dark topazes. light
colored sapphires and others. are the
latest novelties from Paris. Butterfly
Mercury and birdwing motifs are made
OF metallic fabrics. while quills are
often simulated In THIS material, and
flowers. especially roses. are formed Of
the gold and silver tissues. Paisley
ornaments and flowers are made of a
metallic fabric in which faint floral
pattern in pale coiors is to be SEEN
Ornaments of old steel set with large
cut stones in colors are among the
newest and most fashionable of the
trimmings for the fur toques.
When we come to the question of
feathers it will surprise many to know
that the willow plume, which has been

costumes. yet occasionally a faux pas
of this sort is committed unthinkingly.
SOME OF THE TRIMMED HATS
Among the attractive hats seen this
season was one Of prunelle Lyons vel
vet in a large vandyke shape. with
broad. curving brim revers occupying
the left side and center front and slop-
ing gracefully down at the back and
right side The garniture was a bird
of paradise with velvety plumage OF
black and natural color, caught down
Immediately over the brim revers. hold
ing them close to the top OF the crown.
The paradise plumage made a charming
color effect against the purple OF the
velvet background
Another hat OF great distinction was
covered with uncut velvet in a shade
of mustard which had slightly green
ish cast, while the under ortm was
faced with Lyons velvet In different
but harmonizing shade OF antique gold.
A single long f1ued ostrich plume was
placed at the right side. rising slightly
above the crown and dropping grace
fully over the brim- A wide band OF
the folded uncut velvet encircled the
OAOWA SnuBly
One Of the most charming of the fur
turbans was made of rich sable In the
Ehape OF an inverted caldron. It's deco
ration consisted OF mass OF exquisite
roses of brilliant metallic tissue in
shades OF greenish and brownish gold
varying from light TO deep in tone. In
terspersed with these were little buds
of crimson and ruby velvet and a nat
ural velvet foliage in deep, warm tones.
The garniture was maSsed In wreath
effect around the bottom of the turban.
rising higher at the side front
Some knowledge OF the subject is re-
quired in order to properly adjust the
hats and turbans. and IL they are not
set right on the head the effect may be
very far from what the milliner who
designed them intended
Most OF the hats this year are worn
rather TAR forward. and instead OF be-
ing set perfectly straight they are
slightly tipped over the right eye,
This gives a graceful. slanting line in
stead OF rigid straight one.
The hats are now turned up at the
left front instead Of at the left side.
The cavalier shape. which has this side
turning. is at present considered rather
passe. as 1t was overWOrked and worn
too commonly early in the sea son.
And so the fashions are continually
changing things must be ''the mods''
in order to be fashionable but as soon
as they become too much "the mode
they cease to be stylish. and somethinx
else must be substituted for them.
