THERE was a time when the term
ostrich feathers meant only one
thing-ostrich feathers-but that
was long while ago. This season the
term embraces everything from the
tiniest tip TO the most wonderfully
branched fancy willows of miraculous
length, quill, fan and pompon effects, and
ornamental motifs, such as butterflies,
bowknots or flowers.
In whatever form it appears, ostrich
plumage is favorite hat trimming.
