what the chanticleer craze will lead to
before it finally dies down.
Everybody will be satisfied If the
threatened chant1cleer walk does not
follow the wearing of the chanticleer
gown and hat. Who wants to see his
wife or sister strutting along the high
ways like a barnyard fowl? The kan
garoo walk was bad enough and 1T was
hoped that with it relegated to OBJ
livion by the arbiters of fashion our
women would again assume their nat
IVal carriage.
The chanticleer craze could not
have come at a better time for the
millfners than now. The merry
widow day is about over and every one
was hoping against hope that the new
season would bring some sane form of
headgear for women. Now with
tremendous boom comes this newest
fad, worse than all the others COM
bined
Members of the Audubon society,
however, are rejoicing. Perhaps, they
figure the wild birds of gay plumage
will be given rest now. Chanticleer
hats will be made from the feathers
of birds the carcasses of which have
gone to the butchers, and the most
'finnicky" member of the organization
can not find anything to find fault with.
The pheasant opera cloak is a fair
sample of the way feathers are to be
used in gowns. A brilliant hood of
featherc covers the wearer's head and

behind. A rear view Of a person at
tired in the new model makes one rub
the eyes and wonder what sort of a
mammoth bird has escaped from Gus
today. The cost of such robe is said
to be between $4,000 and $4,000.
Other cloaks are less expensive, but
they are not the real thing. of course.
Instead of genuine feathers the owner
of cheap chanticleer must be con-
tent with embroidered designs. Silken
roosters with red velvet combs must
take the place of the genuine.
The owl, chief of the night conspira-
tors in the wonderful Rostand play,
is receiving it's share of the popularity.
Owls heads are being used as shoe
buckles and as handles for parasols.
But another phase of the chanticleer
craze are the chanticleer dinners. These
are already in vogue in England and
will soon be quite the thing on this side
of the ocean.
Much attention must be given to the
invitations used. Some method that
will call to mind the barnyard must be
chosen. The most popular so far is to
write the messages on corn husk Then
every guest is expected to attend at
tired like some character in Rostand' s
play, and the scheme of decoration used
by the hostess is very similar to the
scenic decorations of the play itself.
Where the craze will end it is i'm
possible to say.

Il never gave Hans much peace after

But Hans had talked with some

him that the olfactory nerves of the

cockcrow in the morning. Those who
have partaken of the new brand boast
that very few libations from the Chan
ticIeer bottle makes a person feel quite
as triumphant as the autocrat OF the
barnyard himself.
Chanticleer fabrics are on the market
and chanticleer colOrs. In some of the
fabrics the colors are so blended as to
combine all the tones in the tail of

The Guitry toque. another model that
is achieving popularity Is named for
Chanticleer himself, or rather the actor
who portrays the part of the King of
the Barnyard. 1t has the appearance
of large black fowl and is made of
real rooster feathers. The cocks head,
worn low over the forehead, is sur
mounted with a scarlet comb made of
velvet. The long tail feathers droop
over the hair at the back. The creation
is Identical with the head dress worn
by Monsieur Guitry during the first act
of the play.

hen had settled comfortably on the

These new hats are already the rage
In Paris and London, and a few have

But the chanticleer craze is not con-
fined to hats. There are chanticleer

strange to say when within a couple
