PARIS. January 10.

4 + this time the Paris milliners are
y very busy getting ready new
models for Nice and Monte
carlo. Some of the latest designs
shown in the Rue de In Ps.ix establish
menis are exceedingly eccentric in out
line. others are charming. Sketches
are printed Of two very new models each
Of which was suggested by a bird.
The hat at the top Of the drawing
really looks something like the war
hcaddress OF a red Indian. The entire
top Of the hat is covered with flowing
feathers in subtle shades OF rust red.
vert de girls and smoke gray. The hat
itself Is made of peau dc sole in soft
shade Of vert de girls.
This shape is quite new. 1t fits closely
on the head and there is a small turned
up brim. The feathers fall softly over
the crown and foat out at the back
I have seen this same shape carried out
In rust red mirror velvet and the feath-
ers OF a cock pheasant, and again, in
pure white felt with white coque feath-
CTS toNtIluS inc CroWu.
The second drawing shows model
which will certainly be a leading favor
ite at Monte Carlo this spring. The de-
sign bears the name cocks comb"
The toque is very close fitting, the folds
of velvet or silk outlining the shape Of
the head Then there is a curious dra-
perry. supported by invisible wires, which
resembles the comb OF an angry cock.
This curious drapery forms the sole
trimming Of the toquc
The model | have sketchcd was made
IN lizard green Of new thick silk which
has d dull satin surface. Similar models
are made Of shell pink mirror velvet and
shades. Nearly all the new hats and
toques are very high in the crown, or
the trimmings are arranged TO convey
this idea Of height
For the Riviera the Partisan miliners
are making toques in watered silk,
which have crowns exactly like the
proverhal ounces cap Other models
have peaked crowns like those seen on
Scotch caps. only very much higher.
White MORE toques are in great de-
mand for Riviera wear and these hook
exceedingly smart when worn in con-
junction with a severely plain tailored
suit Of navy blue cloth or serge.
Another shape which promises to be
universally popular is the small cava-
lier hat which boasts very high
turned up brim at one side. This hat
Is not really large anywhere. but the
turned up brim gives an important as
p,ct to the whole affair. To women "
small and regular features these hats
are extremely becoming. They are
trimmed with curved mounts which jut
ont jauntily at either side, or with "A
single brush mount which stands erect
directly in front.
Yet another new and popular Riviera
hat IL that which has an extremely mar
row hrim and a high crown like that OF
q mans tall hat. This shape IL often
made in fine black silk beaver and In
that ease it really looks like a mans
hat For trimming such a model would
have a fan shaped mount of black
Coque feathers at one side or a high
tuft Of ostrich tips mounted to resem-
bic baby palm tree.
Ostrich feathers have come back into
favor with a rush. For some time the
par.sian millihers opposed this revival
They are, one and all. devoted 10 os-
prcys and aigrettes; but tho movement,
10 favor of humanity to birds which
was started by group of American
women has Influenced the whole of Eu-
rope.
Almost all the aigrettes or ospreys
now used on hats and toques are ar
