jersey dress, red kid trimmed, and
worn with black pumps with tiny
baby French heels, of red kid. With
this was worn a cunning little hat of
tam effect. Miss Alice Morehouse
modelled this particular little dress.
The hats shown seem to indicate
that feathers, both ostrich glucerined
and plain, and heckle feathers will
have a prominent place in the mil
linery trimmings this winter. A num-
Der of the hats shown and those which
were the most striking models were
in black panne velvet. One dainty
little taupe toque was modelled which
bore a nailhead trim. and falling over
