FLoWERED ToQuE is REVIVED
Blossom eedecked Headoear 10 Much
In Favor With Matronly Women
After Several Seasons.

The lowered toque has been reviv-
ed again and Is much worn by matron-
ly women. Several seasons have elaps-
ed since the small fiower-covered hat
received any particular attention.
An especially effective model Of this
type was worn by large anc dignlfied
woman with a full-length broadtail
coat made with a shawl collar and
deep cuffs Of chinchilla. The close
fitting toQue which topped this hand
some garment was covered with small
white lines. Each flower was placed
individually and stood out from the
others. A piece Of narrow black vel
vet ribbon was worked In and out
among the lilies around the front and
sides and ended In q cluster Of bows
at the back.
violets frequently appear In these
hower-crowned hats. Many Of the red
flowers are also used.
The flower named ragged sailor was
attractively applied on one close-fit-
ting model set OF with two slender
outstanding wings. A finel mesh veil
with q heavy velvet scroll completed
the hat. which was worn by young
woman In . braid trimmed tailored
suit Of blce velour.

any color scheme, and Is particularly
appropriate for the simple style OF
architecture in vogue In many homes.
Since the rugs for the floors and the
hangings-such rs window curtains,
drapcries at the doors, etc.-form SO
important part of the finish Of every
home today, care must be taken In
their choice and arrangement. The
color principles which apply to walls
and woodwork are to be applied to
floor coverings and hangings. In every
case they must be in close harmony
with the wall decorations.

Touches Are Novel.

Embroideries and fagoting are used
in very clever ways. The embrolderies
are not used In the form Of ruffies,
but are latly placed to eccentuate the
top Of the hem or a plalt or pocket,
and the fagotins done by hand outlines
panels or holds together bands of con-
