4 hats in all guises. How long this
particular fancy will last It is difficult to
say, though I rather imagine that one
soon may get tired of 80 distinct change
from the little close-ftting toques of last
season, with the high standing aigrettes
and paradise. Particularly as for the
present at least all 'toppers" must be
more or less alike in proportion, though
l shall try to ring in as many changes
around this particular form as possible.
A topper" hat is distinctly a hat for
the tailor-made girl. 1t is a utility hat,
and must in no way be overturned or OF
any particular kind of material. The four
that have are the very latest, or may
say the very earliest OF this delightful
form of headgear. The little lady with
the ermine nun has topper" reminis-
cent of the Sans Gene. 1t is of green
panne, with a narrow piece of ermine ter
minating in a little black tail poised high
on the right hand side of the crown and
running down low on the left hand side
OF the back, where 1t terminates with a
tiny ermine head. This should be worn
with green tailored suit and ermine furs.
The coach and four is another form,
and absolutely made on the lines Of the
drivers hats in the old coaching days,
with curled-up brim bound and banded
with a black moire ribbon. With this the
wearer has high black and white choak-
er stock to keep in the suggestion Of
position.
Yet another hat is Of black beaver Of
rather a Victorian type worn by ladies
when out riding. It has bottle green
lace veil drawn dlagonally across the face
and fastened high at the back with a
green brush.
Our last friend wears a white veil with
heavy Spanish design over her face, Just
showing the eyes below.
These hats, in common with other hats
of the season, must not be worn crowded
down onto the head, but rather higher in
the back than the front, and in one or two
cases a quaint little lady might be brave
enough to wear a green chenille net over
her headdressing up the back to be in
keeping with the whole of the picture.
And now to tell you something Of the
dresses. suppose If l were to say that
skirts will be fuller and bodices tighter
you would say. I'VE have heard all this
before" But II you were TO see the
dresses you would say Immediately, 81
have never seen skirts so full or bodices
so tight as these" for they are even
fuller and tighter than last season, and
in many cases shorter. The bodices are
very long wasted and necessitate an en-.
tire new silhouette, so If you wish to be
in the latest fashion you must HE your
self to your corsetierre before you come
TO me. Hoops are, of course, in nearly
everything, and it is surprising how in.

minous and have enormous cuffs and
bands OF contrasting and bigger fur for
decoration. The groundwork OF these
coats will often take the form OF new
pieced fur, such as squirrel, sable, chin
chilla, tope and other short furs. the
skins being cut and pieced together so
that the fur works in contrasting direc.

checkered work, stripes and even more

Of chinchilla-I have seen the most as
