TO WEAR ON TAILORED HAT
Quill Trimming, Arranged Artistically
Is Sure to Find Favor With
Smart Cressers.

Coming back into prominence and
feminine again after an absence Of
several seasons, is the quill or feather
trimming. 1t is very stunning when
properly used on tailored chapeaux
and gives its wearer a very trim and
jaunty appearance.
One stunning model noted recently
was of rough black straw, with the
fashionable high crown and the equal
ly fashionable rolling brim. 1t was
quite plain and bare of any adorn
ment, save two great cuills which
slanted upright. starting from the
back. These were of the new cora
sh"do. changing from vivid coral in
the center to deeper, almost black hue
on tle edge. And they gave just the
note Of color and air of jauntiness
which the hat needed to make it dis
tinctly chic.

Girls are turning to account the
smart shirt buttons in colored enamels
that come for mems shirts. They are
usually six sold to a set.
These buttons have a link to thrust
through the eyelet and are held by g
patent fastener When a girl uses
them she works eyelets instead OF
button-hOles in front of her waist and
in the cuffs. Sometimes the buttons
are all used at the back.
Some have colored enamel centers
with rim Of striped two-toned gold;
others Of solid enamel in delicate
tones with design of gold; again
there are centers of barred enamel
with a plain rim in a deeper tone or Of
a deep ecru enamel with a colored
rim.
