Among the novelties in the flower
line are the charming Dresden china
effects, which are to be had in almost
all of the natural shades 1t is said
that they are made from bread and
then glazed with a result that they are
a perfect Imitation of the wonderful
Dresden porcelain which is popular the
world over. Horse hair braid also bids
fair 10 be much worn, especially on
toque and turban styles, and it will
take the place of the velvet which has
been so enormously used this last win
ter, but which, of course, goes out now
| shortly
A striking revival of jet is also Ia
king place as a millinery trimming.
This winter it has played an important
part as trimming for gowns and
wraps of all descriptions, but now that
1t has invaded the realm of the hat il
is assuming added duties in the sar-
torial line. Sometimes entire crowns
are made of this jet with fascinating
little ruffies of tulle wired stiffiy at the
edges banding the head closely. Be
sides these Jet ornaments there are
other novelties in the way of cut steel,
and amber, tortoise, and ivory of diff
ferent grades that take an important
place in the trimming world.
Ribbons Used in New Ways.
Many of the hats still incline most
decidedly to smaIlness. with the high
side roll that was once worn by the
Empires Eugene and which gives an
effect which women in general always
seem to admire. High horned effects
that do not sound especially attractive
start in round shapes and extend up
ward in points and angles that are still
further accented by the smart adorn-
ments that are recklessly placed on
them
The use of ribbons continues popu-
lar and is branching out in many new
forms---for instance, toques which are
made up entirely of broad ribbons in
the coarse weaves such as grosgrain
moires-and these same ribbons are
much beruff1ed and extensively draped.
Small turban hats are completely COW
cred with narrow bands of ottoman
ribbons. The simple sailor shapes are
also covered in this way. Extrayagant
ribbon loops also are brought into
service for the adornment of tricorne
shapes. Any number of these loops
and bows stffiy wired or allowed to
droop prettily, according to individual
taste, figure on simple afternoon hats
for everyday wear.
Ostrich novelties in many new ar
engagements have come to the front.
Exquisite demi-plumes in the new
sweet pea colorings are going to APP
pear as chic ornaments for the small
black hat Also the much in vogue
natter blue plume will be much used
on the blue and black straws. Os-
trich fringes are decidedly passe now,
but in their places have come pretty
open borders of ostrich which are
wired at both ends Then, too, there
are smart ornaments ia quill form
which are made in the same way.
Novelties in Ready Made Hats.
Speaking of quilts, small wings N
fan shape and also in the Mercury
form are shown and they make up into
pretty trimmings for the three-cor-
nered hats and as well for the horned
turban which is posed on the point,
Wings of two colors may be used set
on somewhat in the whirligig form,
while in marked contrast to those tiny
wings are those which are large and
spreading and may be worn with the
larger and more picturesque hat which
is making such a brave effort to creep
> into public favor.
AS for novelties in ready made hats
) which have so far been sent across
the Atlantic the great majority OF
them are trimmed with flowers or with
ribbons. with tulle or with jet. And
one little item Of interest is that most
? of the flowers, imported ones at any
