One particularly lovely model that simply reeked of Rue de la Paix was worn on the avenue the other day by one of the best dressed women in New York. It was of that newest of new shades called "nigger brown" and was made with a narrow visor of velvet in lieu of a rim, that cast a becoming shade over the wearer's - red brown liuir and blue eyes. . It was worn slightly turned up on one side at a rakish angle with a sin ele upstanding ostrich feather. On one side of its 'dividing spine the feather was brown and on the other side it was ab in.
