LACE HEADPIECE A NOVELTY

Becoming Innovation That Bids Fair to Retain Popularity for Some Time.

One of the features for the hats for formal wear is the round piece of lace that is attached to the inside of a large shape just aB a bandeau is used. It falls in soft folds over the hair and looks quite like the lacy edge of —save the mark! —a breakfast cap. But you have no idea of the becomingness of this innovation. Pretty features appear more lovely under the softening halo of tulle or lace, and other faces are vastly improved by the medium between them and the felt or satin crown of a large hat. Black, white or metallic lace is used for this frill that is arousing comment. Tiny rosebuds of narrow ribbon or small silk flowers are worked into the lace, lessening the contrast and harmonizing with the plumes or lace trimming on the outside of the chapeau. The ruffle is about two inches wide. It is attached before the lining is adjusted, although a few milliners have arranged for a change of lace by a series of loops and buttons. How did this originate? Why, probably from the fancy turban headdress of lace trimmed with flowers that Parisiennes wore in the summer in evenings. At all events, sustained by the knowledge that a hat with this inner frill was awarded first prize at the great exhibition of chapeaux, it comes as something new and bids fair to be adopted. ,
