FASHIONABLE FRINGES

CHENILLE POPULAR FOR FAtfc HAT TRIMMING. | I Plumes, Pompons, Tassels and Roeettes Fashioned by the Clever Trimmer —“Rat-Tail” Is the Prettiest and Best. Fringes of all descriptions, and especially those>of chenille, appear on the hew fall bats as a trimming. The cleverness of trimmers has fashioned them into plumes, pompons, cockades, tassels and rosettes, and they are used about the crowns as a finish. The "rat-tail” fringe of chenille, like that shown in the pictures, is the prettiest and best liked. Narrow, flat, silk fringes are used to cover crowns (and sometimes entire shapes), laid row after row over a silk foundation. fringes art shown in silver and gilt fabrics, and merit a better name than that given them, for they are elegant, giving a hint of splendor in millinery. The tinsel fringes are more sparingly used than those of silk or chenille The two models shown' here are in black and white, but may be had in other color combinations. Fig. 1 is

very fine when developed tin white broadcloth with crown of black velvet, and trimming of white chenille fringe This shape may be bought in bright and in scratch felts, or in plain felts. It comes in buckram, also, ready for covering with silk or velvet It is high but not extreme and is best suited to youthful faces. The soft hat of black velvet shown in Fig 2 is a fipe example of millinery art; a new shape and becoming to almost any face- The brim edge is outlined with a piping of white satin. The conical crown is made on a rice-net foundation and is therefore shapely but not hard, or rigid in outline. A band of white chenille fringe finished with a plume of the fringe made on a wire stem complete the model. These hats show the latest cry in fail millinery and besides this advantage are taßteful and practical. Good color combinations for these

hats are blue with green, brown with black, brown with white, purple with silver, petunia with Bllver, grey with wnue. etc. The hats would be pretty also made up in two shades of one color.' ' v
