PLUMES NOT YET DISCARDED

Despite Rumors to the Contrary, They Are to Be More Used Than in Previous Beasons. While one party declares that feathers will not be seen oh hat* for summer, in the opposite camp the plumage of the ostrich is used in more various ways than ever before. The Prince of Wales plume appears in every possible guise. On several small turbans seen in a millinery exhibition last' week a single long slender feather with the peculiar carve that places It ip the Prince of Wales class was caught directly In front on the extreme' edge of the brim, and on larger hats there were cocardes formed of many small feathers, having foe same form. Feather bands are used for bordering hats, especially the tricornes, and usually curl over the edge like a thick, soft binding. One wide hat has a little band under the brim — it is hardly more than half an Inch wide —formed of short ostrich fines caught over a tape, with both ends secured The ostrich tassels, which made their appearance during the winter, have oeased to be a rarity and are seen in more fanciful shapes than formerly—New York Tribune. : !
