IT is impossible to say that any one
4-style in trimmings predominates, al
though there is a decided tendency to
trim hats of all kinds low. While some
of the smaller shapes are shown with
high front trimmings the majority of
hats intended for either formal or in
formal wear have low, or medium low,
trimming arrangements.
It is permissible this season to place
trimmings On any portion of the hat de-
sired. Front, back, side all around top
crown arrangements and upper brim and
under brim trimmings are shown in such
variety of styles that they battle de-
scription. Any arrangement that Will suit
the style of the wearer is correct. The
general tendency is toward the more SIM
ple trimming effects. The street hat of
felt or plush is often seen without any
trimming.
In ostrich feathers. which are per-
haps the most popular trimming for
hats at. present an elaborate use
of them is noted. often trailing grace
fully down the back or side of the hat,
or sWirled around the crown. They
are used in both curled and uncurled eff
fects, with a preference given the latter.
Novelty effects in ostrich plplmes are very
much in use, as well as paradise and
fancy feather effects. Picot edge rib
bon and velvet and silk flowers are used
considerably. Wings are very popular
in the trimming OF tailored hats white
being preferred to color.

lend an air of modern modishness to the
street costume. These dainty and telling
accessories are the things that count
and 1t is well to set aside a certain sum
at the beginning of the season for keep
ing the costume up i'm these details. One
or two really distinguished bits of neck
wear which may be Numbered daintily
by ones own hands cleansed with
naphtha are a better inves+ ment than
half a dozen cheap bits of neck finery;
and it is the same with gloves. Lay in
the seasons stock early and take good
care of every pair. There should be
washable dogskin or doeskin gloves and
heavy mannish kid gloves for the street,
pair of long lace KID gloves for spe-
cial wear and some pretty embroidered
silk cloves TO match evening frocks.
