Plumage for Fall Hats.

The fancy feather houses are stocked .
with wonderfully attractive pIumage. a
great deal OF which is IN the nature
faker' class. The demand for aigrettes
that was a feature Of high-cIass trade
both last season and the season before, .
shows no tendency 10 decrease. Os-
trich IN black. as well as colors, and in
exQulsitely blended colorings. figures con-
spiCuously in the handsomest designs. .
One exquisite black velvet and beige
felt model. had six feathers tumbIins
over its crown. each shaded and each a (.
different color; duh green, French blue.
vieuX rose, cafe, hello, and gray were
the col0rs. The tout ensemble was most
artistic and not at all garish, as low
tones were chosen. It Is predicted that
there VIII be a demand for brilliant red
and Cerise plumes. as well as those OF
bright blue. and that this viii be used on
black shapes a bright facing, match
ing the feathers, IS featured on some
black velvet hats, and while on the sub
5ect Of facings. perhaps It is not amiss 10
record the fact that the majority OF
faced hats seen TO date have shown
rather ornate arrangement OF the fac
ing-shirring. knife pleadngs. and other
methods being employed. Velvet pressed
hats are frequently faced with light or
bright satin, and in the case OF the deep
bell and mushroom shapes, this IS rather
more apt TO be becoming than when the
dark facing is used
y group Of fancy feather novelties is
shown elsewhere, which includes the fun
bush effects as well as tho smart birds.
that are rather tailored looking, and are
so smart on a pressed turban. Very
small birds promise 10 be quite as much
IN favor as the enormous ones.
The craze for cashmere design and COL
oring hasSinvaded the fancy feather field
and we now have wings and birds in
multicolored varieties that are described
as cashmere effects. Pompons. which
have been strong sellers 20 date, are 10
be had in this effect, and these, as well
as the solid color pompons, are re-
garded with favor The mention Of
Chantecler is taboOed in millinery CIR
cles. but nevertheless. coque and pleas
ant effects are being shown IN many
novel and attractive designs. Owls and
owl plUmage are favored in natural dyed
effects. II the CIoche variety Of hat be-
comes the fad It will popularize all high
standing trimmings. and this is Il state
of affairs that is quite likely 70 occur.
Another feature sometimes used with this
style hat is the lace rufie or curtain,
arranged on the lower brim. The cloche
must be worn back on the head and at
a rather rakish angle; otherwise It sets
down entirely too far for comfort or
charm. and makes the addition OF the
curtain quite impossible.
Another way OF trimming the cloche
is by applying a FIAT applique to the
crown. Velvet foliage and small cab
bage roses made Of ribbons are suitable
for this. The roses, either OF satin or
grOsgrain ribbon, are small tightly made
affairs and are most effective If each
rose is made a different color, using duh
harmOnizfng tones, recalling the rorocco
method Of decoration in vogue q season
or so ago Fur hats are good trimmed in
this way; one is shown with a handsome
passementerie motif IN which dull sold ap-
pears with shades Of dull rose and wood
browns. Pufings OK satin and velvet are
used around the crown OF the cloche,
and when a Understanding trimming Is
used it is arranged at the back or wen
/ toward the back at the side
It now appears as II the high hat would
/ be the favorite. Al turbans are high
and the majoTityAof large hats, as wen.
and trimming is more apt TO be found
at the back than anywhere.
