them representing more closely
the headdresses Of savage peoples

constantly reaping a harvest, as the
prices of these novelties are sky

more than a few weeks. Some OF

the new feather hats are made from
the plumage Of edible birds,
chicken, goose, pheasant, pigeon and

in the glycerined styles. This makes

drop in long points at the sides of

times form the entire covering, with
the feathers dropping in irregular

The well known Rue de la Paix
nilliner Georgette features strik-

small hats. All the feathers used
are of a novelty character, notable
among which are glycerined ostrich
