tones of deep blue velvet, has en-
bedded in these flowers. chain or
band of small roses rather deep pink

rangement of Dresden ribbon encirc-
ling it. Dark blue chiffon used as
shown gives another note of strong
color. The hat shown in circle is
also remarkable for its coloring. The
cloth having a suggestion Of cross
bars, the ground being messy green
and the indefinite lines blue and dull
red. The hat is faced with blue vel
vet and tr mmed with pink moss
roses, moss and green velvet ribbon,
the green being an indefinite grayish
green. An ornament Of platinum
and rhinestones was introduced.
A Nine. Tore hat was beautiful
lace trimmed confection with small
roses. Delange CONNECTION is flow
er hat which Is in the exquisite Re-
venelle shades.
A Blanche Vassour model is q beau
tifully colored turban, somewhat rem
iniscent of the peach basket shape, of
a fancy Jap braid in rich, purplish
red. The shape was practically coll
lapsible and was trimmed at the back,
as can be seen, with ostrich three tips
N all, in harmonious shades of red,
dull green and purple, a much more
pleasing combination than 1t sounds.
A box plated band of ombre taffeta
crosses the crown, and on to this is
applied one of the novelty bead bands
that are a feature of the present Sea-
SON.
Another Delange design is a large
pressed hat of black tagal hemp fac
ed with pink and trimmed across the
low crown with a full black willow,
along. the quill of which double row

rangement of ribbon at the back.
Black velvet ribbon over blue taffeta,
a trif1e wider, so that there is a blue
border on either side of the black, is
used for the full bow. The line of the
hat. accentuated by the bow, raises
toward the back. A knot of blue
velvet forget-me-nots centered by a
rose is used toward the front instead
of around, the only trimming being a
cluster of cherries fastened just over
the left eye. The crown is formed to
fit over the head like skull cap and
is a confirmation of the rumor that
coiffures will be simpler and conform
more to the shape of the head.

bow of blue robbon which crossed the
back: there being three loops at eth
err s de, those at the left being much
longer and wired to follow the outline
of the hat.
