Hat Trimming Novelties.

The demand for handsome hats re ceived new impetus Wednesday when finally the weather cleared.
 How cleverly metallic effects are employed by the designers was dem onstrated in the example of a beauti- ful hat which had a metallic crown in the fashionable blue, silver and flame The trimming was of velvet and a large Impion wing.
 Black velvet, with orchid facing and three graceful orchid plumes. is a mere hint at the beauty of a picture shape, which was priced $2o.
 And now the hateful war tax in vades millinery. A swagger. large black velvet hat with soet- edge. fac ing of satin and ba ek |: rets caught on the brin, is marked $25-plus s1 war tax!
 One of the choicest of the models on view Wednesday was French sai Tor in beaver -colored feathers. finish ed with two wings at. the back. under meath the brim. The price tag on this was S13.50.
 A purple velvet Jockey turban had smart touches of silver and for finish an iridescent Impion wing.
 A narrow brimmed shape in wis taria heckle had gray facing to cor respond with the gray crown center, fancy black feelers, and the crown was of draped wistaria velvet. A model of distinction this-and mark ed s14.5o.
 Make a point of attending the openings today. the third Style Day.
 Where time and money can be the most profitabiy spent is explained by The Bulletins advertisers!
