Feathers VS.. Flowers.

The rage for feathers which has
marked the summer millinery has
given a serious setback to the arti-
fetal flower industry, and an attempt
is to be made to introduce flower be-
decked hats in the coming winter.
At the beginning of the season
many attempts were made to pop
ularize floral millinery fashions, but
women insisted on having feathers or
perky bows of ribbons for the adorn-
ment of their headwear. All kinds
of beautiful blossoms were introduced
in colors true to nature and in colors
unknown to nature, with the object
of Turing women back to their old al
legiance to the flower decked summer
hat, but women would have none of
them.
Feathers or nothing at all, that was
the decision, and flowers were rele-
gated to the top shelf.
