LATEST PICTURE HAT

One of the most recent inventions of Paris will appeal to the women who likes to dress conspicuously rather than suitably. It is nothing more or less than a large red velvet hat. The red may be of any shade preferred, and the shapes for this new eccentricity are said to be artistic. A trifle heavy they look, with their warm, rich tones, from certain points of View, though at times they resemble gigantic poppies shimmering in the sunshine. One kind of trimming used on them, a plaited flounce at the edge, helps to carry out the poppy illusion. They are seen, too, entirely without ornament Whan the hats do not match some detail of costume they make a happy contrast with a neutral tint, like fawn or tan.
