Black Velvet Foliage.

Now that fruit is one of the most popular forms of bat trimming we have gone in for foliage extensively. The new kind is made of black velvet. The oak leaf is quite fashionable; also the wide leaves of fruit trees. The velvet used is rather thin and is applied to green or black rubber stems. It is often used to trim a hat without the addition of anything else. It is especially effective on all white hats, as the magpie combination does not decrease in popularity as the season rolls on. In truth, it is more in evidence than ever.
