SOME NOVELTIES IN HATPINS

Roosters, Pheasants and Owl Heads, Some With Combs and Feet of Colored Jewels. The woman who can not stand for Chantecler hats can achieve a touch of the barnyard In her hatpins. There are roosters, pheasants, owl heads galore, from cheap ones of small size In Imitation enamel or silver to huge affairs in rhinestones with combs and feet of colored jewels. Some of these rhinestone pins are three inches long from comb to claws; Usually they present a side view when in the hat, occasionally they are set to look as if just stepping forth for a morning crow, showing both sides of the body studded. Huge colored enamel hat pins have superseded rhinestone ones for the moment, though the former when of good quality are always in style. A good-looking one has a large heart worked out in various tones of red enamel delicately lined with gold. The girl who would make sure of having her powder puff ever with her now carries it in her hat pin. So huge are some of the new pins that there is room for quite a sizeable powder puff, when the hinged lid is lifted. So skillful is the workmanship that none blit the initiated suspect the complexion safeguard. With a set of these pins one can be used for powder, the second for nail polish or rouge and the, third for tiny chamois.
