These are very expensive to buy, but very easy ig make, ike so many things that are hand done, they class very high in the dress schemes and are sold at really extrava- gant prices. In these goods the woman who is handy with the needle possesses advantages untold. A bat of tan colored felt, while a simple thing with a big, floppy brim and a little top trimming, had embroidered around the brim a number of red roses and silver leaves. The effect was new and very good. The under part of the brim was faced with black chiffon.

A hat that could truthfully be cailed a picture hat was in. Gainsborough shape, with the longest feathers draping its top. The feathers fell over the back of the hat and caressed the neck and shoulders. Fortunately the wearer was one of the tall girls of New York society and meas- ured a sufficient number of inches to look well with s a length of feather trailing down her back. Her Gainsborough was faced with brown velvet and upon this brown velvet fac ing there were embroidered sprays or stems of carnations. - 71ae tiny but in- tensely green leaves stood out with all the stiffness from the stalks, which were slightly curved to allow of their being dis- posed upon the inner brim. They crossed and intercrossed, each stem toppeu with a carnation, The Boa Season. Those who Have not already succumbed to the temptations of the modern boa must be prepared to do so now. Under certain conditions it is not becoming. The boa does not look well upon the short woman, The boa is not adapted to the double chin. The boa requires a certain length of neck. The boa, to be gracefully worn, must have the coiffure built high for it. In spite of these restrictions it is to be seen upon everybody, of every size and shape, in the feminine persuasion, The popular ostrich feather adornment .8 very well known and its possibilities, as well as its price, fully gauged.
