Ruth Chatterton to an eminence such

has been Familiarity conventionalized In
musical plays. it is one of the best ex-
amples of its kind. The element of
drollery is supplied by Mr.. Grossmith,
who succeeds in attaining fun without
apparent effort and in giving the I'M
preston of refinement to a song which
under less skillful sponsorship would
probably be regarded as crudely impos-
sible.

which has significance. Custom has

In the picture given here three hats
in this particular kind Of millinery are
shown. one Of them is Of white Grape
made on sailor shape Of medium size.
The frame is smoothly Covered and
the effect of a double brim is given by
a shaped piece Of Grape with corded
edge overlaid on the upper brim. The
hat has a soft crown and is trimmed
with roses and leaves made OF the
Grape. Wells OF white net edged with
narrow borders Of Grape are made for
wear with hats Of white Grape, and
they are also In white.
An elegant small turban OF black
Grape is pictured, worn with scarf
like cape to match and a semlcircular.
The veil is Of fine Brussels net bor-
dered with Grape. Grenadine or silk
may be used for the cape. The collar
and border are plain folds Of Grape.
