Hats Trimmed With Near-Aigrettes.

Hats covered with aigrettes which stand out like quills upon the back of the fretful porcupine are worn by extremely well-dressed women. They are not always the veritable aigrettes. Their importation is still forbidden by 1 law. But peacock and like plumes are burnt till-'nothing but the fine stems remain. An almost perfect imitation is the result, and it is difficult to tell the difference at a short distance.
