CHIC EFFECTS IN HATS SEASON’S HEADWEAR INCLINE TOWARD COQUETTISH. Flexible Hats of Velvet, Feit or Beaver Which Are Worn to Reach the Eyebrows Are Very Popular. In the headwear provided for our choice this season, a constantly growing tendency to soft, bonnet-like shapes, has developed; some lovely, coquettish looking models. There are any number of flexible hats of velvet, felt or beaver, and these are supplemented by others in which fur Is introduced. They set down over the head, and many are worn to reach the eye-

brows. As the season advances we may expect to see little bonnets of fur, or if not entirely of fur, then of velvet and fur, or beaver cloth and fur. One of the prettiest shapes is a cap of velvet with plaited velvet edge, trimmed with a novelty band in tarnished brass effect. The band is finished with an ornament made of the same material. Another smAU black velvet cap, whose crown is simply a puff of velvet, is finished with a plaited ruffle, very narrow, of shallow box plaits about the face A wreath of metallic foliage set with little tight silk roses, is an unforgettable finish. These wreaths show little roses of folded lustrous sijk, and metal cloth, in several soft colors. Old blue, rose pink and dark red, roses set sparingly about a long wreath of metallic

leaves and stems, placed against a black velvet crown, is perfect. Such a hat is a treasure and can be worn with anything In the way of gowns. It is comfortable as well as beautiful. There is no telling what wUI come of this liking for the flexible hat A pretty poke-bonnet effect of beaver, Is shown here. It is trimmed with a drapery of velvet. This hat is designed for street wear and will stand any amount of it. Where the hat is designed for business and must see daily service, silk Is better than velvet as a drapery. Either may be removed and renovated and replaced on the shape. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
