millinery world brought out this inter

helmet chapeau. 1t is a pressed shape In

downward droop to the brim adding to the
effectual hiding of the couture of the
wearer. This tendency toward disguise
seems to be increasing among Paris wom-
en-, who, besides wearing hats that hide
half of the head, and neck ruffs that reach
the ears, wear wells with single huge
embroidered design covering one eye. thus
completely concealing their identity.

No. 5-Fur-Trimmed Picture Hat.
WHAT could be more universally be-

looking and decidedly good style this
season than the huge black velvet pic
ture hat topped with fox furs. in all
the striking contrast Of the dead white
ness of these furs against the deep

the perfection of such combination,
with touch of the picturesque given
by the bushy fox tail dangling from
the right side of the wide brim. This
hat has the distinct advantage OF being
suitable for formal wear for either
afternoon or evening occasions and
when worn with white fox set or
with a stole of white marabou it adds
greatly to the harmony of the en-
semble.
