PIumeless Hat. Fashion Now.

Featherless hats provided one Of
the features OF an exhibition and con-
ference held In London lately for the
purpose Of bringing together societies
and individuals interested in the sup
preston Of cruelty to animals.
The exhibits were intended to prove
that women's hats may be both beau

A hat with a large plume made Of
grasses, stiffened and colored, won
general approval from fashion ex-
perts. Ribbons played q great part
in the trimming. Other exhibits fash
ioaed in the shapes OF plumes and
feathers proved most effective.

concentrated his army at Winchester,

river, which he crossed to reach the
state of Maryland. He fully expected

recruited and from which all kinds OF
supplies were sent out to the soldiers

NET TO MATCH GOWNS
WIDE AMOUNT OF ACCESSORIES
FOR SUMMER DRESSES.
Gowns Of Net Made High and Low,
3 GIrdIes and sashes Of Net, Long
and Short Slowed tcuimpes,
!. Some Varieties. S55 { "a

So enamored have women become
Of the various and interesting things
that have been invented in net that
they are getting together wide
amount Of accessories for the SUM
mer made Of this fabric.
Just think for moment what can
be done. There are gowns Of net,
made high and low; there are girdles
and Japanese sashes Of net, there
are long-sleeved and short-sleeved
guimpes, there are parasols lined with
silk or made Of several layers Of
white and colored net, there are pet
ticoats and brassieres and fancy cor
set covers trimmed with chiffon roses.
And this is not all.
There are small hats and large hats
Of black, white and colored tulle;
there are Medici collars and Robes
pierre ones of net that Is plain and
net that is sprinkled with figures.
There are net neck rufus, there are
huge roses and little violets and
broad green leaves and pink moss
rosebuds made Of net to use as trim
ming on underwear, on room robes,
on boudoir caps and on evening
gowns. And the end Is not yet. All
any woman would have to do to en-
large her vision concerning the pos
sibilities of net would be to make 6
tour through the shops.
It was some time before those who
sell caught the contasion. but when
they did catch 1t, net garments and
accessories sprang into being over
night, and everyone who had an idea
Immediately worked 1t out, and there
fore the windows and the counters
to say nothing of the advertisements
in the papers-were filed with in
genious possibilities in this one fab
ric. .ss
Where women once bought net or
tulle by the yard they now buy It by
the piece. They use it In q dozen
ways to vary a gown, to add to its
color scheme, to achieve some Of
those clever individual touches over
which women have become enthusiast
tic since the cut-and.dr1ed fashions in
clothes have gone out.
1t is an interesting subject, this one
of individuality, and it has arisen
with much gusto in the last few
months; whether the cry for. 1t pro-
duced the supply or whether the
women's apparel produced the talk Is
hard to tell What matters the
cause? We are in the stir Of the
movement and 1t is one to develop
and encourage, although it may pro-
duce during a short life more mis-
takes than successes.

One of the best labor-saving ar
rangements is device to fasten the
strings or wire netting for the vines
of the, porch. A strip of wood one
inch square and about six feet long,
with strong screw eye at each end,
is all that is needed. Drive two nails
into the upper part of the porch, the
same distance apart as the screw
eyes, then after tying the strings onto
the strip lift it up and hook the screw
eyes over the nails. Fasten the lower
ends of the strings into the ground
with small pegs and train the vines
on them.
