Fashion's Fancies

Small and flat are the newest hats, displaying the hair, and trimmed with wisps of feathers, flowers and small bows of velvet in a fascinating manner. Most attractive is a belt of black patent leather, edged top and bottom with soft white kid. The eyelets are white and the small white buckle Is of mother of pearl. Broad hats of white linen for warm days are 'trimmed often with bright flowers or birds cat from cretonne and flatly applied. The effect is odd and pretty. Shoes for the dressy frock are now mere trifles of lace, embroidery, brocade and satin. Even the varnished leather slipper is now tabooed, except for the street. Lace still continues a rage of the hour. Of the handsome imported laces there are myriads of kinds and quite as many designs. Some pretty combinations of filet and the heavy shadow laces are seen on soft lingerie frocks.
