Coq plumes are to be expected in a
season when trtmtuing is trained to
droop, and even these are occasionally
imitated by piCoted strands of 'silk, or
given a metallic touch by having their
tips gilded or bronied. Coq is not
used in the natural color alone, but is
found In fascinating jades and rusts.
Clre satin and faille imitate the gloss
of fine leather to the point of deceit.
Trimmings Are Interesting.
The vogue for the droop is leading
to many interesting trimmings. The
eartabs, a residue from the Egyptian
vogue of the Spring, fall quite frankly
to the sides of some hats. Feathered
quills of glycerine ostrich, or the newer
owl quills, are thrust through the brim
of the hat to brush the . shoulder.

very fanciful one in velvet and satin,
of extraordinary size and shades, such
as belong to the realm of fairy talcs.
Many garlands fall from the waist
line, and are softly mounted to allow
a supple and graceful movement when
walking or dancing, and they will add
a nice touch of color to our dresses.
There are big flowers, or small nose
gays, made with faded tones and
mixed shades. Some flowers are made

one over the other; the petals are not
sewn, but curled and pressed together,
in order to effect the same waves and

the flowers.
A motif at the girdle has been very
much favored for a considerable time
now. It Is sometimes a feather pouf
or a cluster of fruit, or one or two
velvet flowers of fresh hue.
There are some gowns which are not
only trimmed with beads, but are en
tirely made of hem. Long fringes of
beads entirely cover the slip under
neath, being held by the girdle. An
effect of contrasting shades Is gener
ally sought after. If, for Instance, the
slip Is of blagk satin or crepe, the
glass tubes are white.
