seemed quite in keeping with the
present craze for the abnormal.

Coquettish head coverings are made
of many different pelts. In fact, all
the skins brought to this market are
being employed by the fashionable
milliner. Many of the shapes upon
which the pelts are used are suggest

of hat frame. Take for exampfe the
old Tyrolean and Egyptian shapes that
are being trimmed with single skins
of small animals. The styles are GER
tainly picturesque enough for the most
fastidious, and to certain types they
are exceedingly becoming and very
chic for wear with the walking cos
tune. For runabout hats the darker
furs are most in evidence, and for
dress wear, ermine, often combined
with taupe or sable, trims many ele-
CANT hats. The tails of the animals
are introduced in all sorts of ways In

"DoubIe-Decker" Hat.
A number of the recent millinery
achievements are marvellous in con-
struction. The new double decker hat
is among the odd fancies of the
month. A handsome chapeau of this
character is now being displayed at
an uptown milliner's. The under
brim is of rose color velvet and the
upper one gorgeous brocade. There
is a second brim, which extends into
the crown, giving the impression that
the crown of the brocade part has
been cut out in order to allow the vel
vet to pass through it. At the extreme
left side is a cluster of variegated
feathers, introducing all the rich col
orings found in the bro.ade The
group of plumes is held at the lower
parts of the stems by a bee hive
shaped ornament made of dull gold
cord.
