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 to 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 tor gowns and
wraps of all descriptions, but now that
1t has invaded the realm Of the hat 1t
is assuming added duties in the sar
torial line. Sometimes entire crowns
are made of this Jet with fascinating
little ruff1es of tulle wired stiff1y 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 smallness, 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 beruffled 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. Extravagant
ribbon loops also are brought into
service for the adornment Of tricorne
shapes, Any number Of these loops
and bows stffly wired or allowed to
droop prettily, according to individual
taste, figure on simple afternoon hats
for everyday wear.
Ostrich novelties in many new ar
rangements have come to the front
Exquisite demiplumes In the new
sweet pea colorings are going to ap-
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 in quill form
which are made in the same way.
Novelties in Ready Made Hats.
Speaking of quilts, small wings in
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 we'll for the horned
turban which Is posed on the point
Wings Of two colors may be used set
on somewhat III the whirligig FORM
while in marked contrast to those tiny
wings are those which are large and
&C., hn 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
rate, are Of the vivid colors. Large
camelias IN gorgeous reds or dazzling
whites vie with brilliant geraniums
or startling hued roses. The yellow
zinnias are not unattractive, and al
ready have achieved considerable
vogue.
The new straw, which is known as
the Belgian split" is peculiarly
enough the identical straw that was
used for the empire bonnets a CEN
tury or more ago. These hats may be
trimmed with any of the modish trim
mings mentioned above. One particu-
larly novel product of the Rue de la
Paix was high turban of this same
straw with a single black aigrette of
huge height rising up directly in the
front and against it a piece of Jet
which was fully eight inches long and
| the shape of shoe horn.
Slipping Tea Through Veil.
The near veil has come to life again.
1t is already popular and will continue
to be so as the season advances. This
snugness of adjustment makes the
taking of of the veil a nuisance, and
more ana more women are being seen
in the restaurants slipping their tea
or coffee through the msshes OF a
Jungle veil," and assisted therein by
a glass tubing through the same mesh.
A novelty which probably will be
much worn is the new storm veil,
