rious osprey effects. The mingling Of
two colors in sharp-pointed wings that
fold around the hat, is a notable fea-
ture. One OF the pictured hats shows
black and white wings Of this type.
These wings. OF course. never sprouted
on any bird OF known variety. The
long. pointed pinion is entirely arti-
fetal but no one can dispute its smart
ness. Black and white quilts CT grad
uated length are attached to a long
strip OF white grebe and the tips OF
the quilts are clipped off in a straight
line at the edge OF the hatbrim. The
long wing is effectively arranged
across the front OF an ordinary low
crowned, wide-brimmed sailor of
black hatters' plush. the wing being

are roomy and rather low. All ex-
