W e have gray and black feathers, black and white pea-hen feathers, and every possible mixture of this kind, with a dash of scarlet or a splash of vivid blue thrown In. In a large gray hat, tn which a large crown of gray ostrich feathers tipped with pink forms the trimming, one very large star-like bloom of pink vel vet will form a deepening note of rose. Gold Is again being profusely used. A hat with a large crown of black velvet will have a brim of trans parent gold lace edged with velvet, and a small branch of gold roses with powder-blue or rose-pink centers will form the only ornament I hope my readers may glean some useful hints from these descriptions. It Is easy to renovate the large last winter's hats by lining them with pale flesh-pink or pale blue satin. Feath ers may be dyed or retinted, but to dye feathers black Is often to waste them absolutely, as black dyes burn more than others. A last year’s large hat will be trimmed high; to make lt look Parisian it must be trimmed low. A large velvet flower or ornament or a cordon of single blooms round the crown will effect tnts put puae. Far the toques alone we must reserve Alsa tian or windmill bows, high aigrettes, and such-Uke. Gold flowers and gold passementerie look charming on large hats, oxidised silver on the smaller ones. The delicious summer-tike weather we have been enjoying In Paris for the last few days has sent all the fur- trinmed hats out of the shop winders. V s can admire white velvet gigantic edetsetse or ttllea, spotless aigrettes and White plumes. One of the new est on aments for hata, large and small, la a fringe of chenlle or ol wooden beads round the brim! I saw a hat with a fringe of tubular wooden beads that looked exactly like a min iature Swias chalet 1 For large and medium slied hata the cachepelgne consists of a very large bow of rib bon or a clump of flowers. Fura are a serious consideration, and so ruinous as to price that one hardly dares to look at the prices given. They form squares, stripes and losenges, according to the way In which they are out and pieced togeth er. I have Just seen some gigantic flat muffa and wide stole« of sealskin tk*t were treated as one might treat velvet or plush. The Idea may be novel— It Is not pretty I Pure white ermine, called ermine demouchette. Is edged with a band of the name ermine with the tails left In. White stoles are probably of "clipped" rabbit skin, but they look effective edged with bands of chinchilla, skunk or Box. Silk plush la made up most effec tively to Imitate ermine. It la soft and silky In texture and will make up Into the most effective stoles and mantles. It will also be useful to make theater muffa Fashions die out so rapidly that we resurrect them In a few months. Woman’s caprices rule the world of fashion, and we no sooner have something pretty than wa run lt to earth I The dresses we affect for evening wear are perforce expensive. W a have a satin fourreau. which tn Its turn Is trimmed with lace or embroidery, and over thla again we have the tunic and bodloe of silk muslin, which will veil the under dress most effec tively, giving schemes of color wo would never have thought of a year ago. Every detail la costly, from the rainbow-shot gold rat's tall piping cord with which wa outline lace or embroidery on net, to the artistic belts, buckles and buttona which form part and parcel of our gowns. Peltry, now so precious. Is used to outline the chemisettes and collars of gold and silver net with which our gowns are stll provided, or a narrow band of fur edges a square-out bodice. A little fur Is far more becoming than a deep band, and the wide hem of skunk seen on many of our new short cos tumes Is certainly very ugly. How ever, we do not care to look pretty — proofs of wealth are what we crave for most, forgetful of the fact that wealth may be most inartistic. There is a strong ourrent In favor of short coats, which the dressmakers are try ing hard to bring In. These coats look best in serge or In the new hair- striped velveteens. Batin-faced zlbe- Une Is a most bewltchlngly silky fab ric; It la, moreover, very warm, but Hot so durable a j cloth.. Black zibe- llne makes uft splendidly, and If lt Is trimmed with heavy corded embroi dery it is really a most elegant dress. ¡k and black tuid white are In favor, and some or our most elegant women have decided to adopt the fur ooat and frocks for visiting w ear I am Inclined to think the idea a ver^ sensible one, as in cold weather lt Is best to slip off a heavy coat In a warm drawing room, and appear In all the glory of a smart gown, such as one I have Just seen. The skirt was of black satin with a knee-deep piece of black mualln velvet; the bodice, hlgh- walsted and belted, waa of velvet for the lower part and a deep yoke of satin formed Vandyke on the velvet; the neck showed a small yokelet of white and gold lace outlined with a gold cord and tassels, and the sleeves were the kimono ones, also trimmed with gold. A most elegant dress worn by one of our prettiest actresses at the Palais Royal Is a typical smart dinner dress, of gray panne velvet, the waist Is very smart and points of Indian cachemlr design In soft silk are let Into the bod ice. Over this was worn a tunic of gray mousseline de sole, which was very much opened at the sides so that parts of the cachemlr design showed the cachemire silk veiled and unveil ed; the tunlo was edged with tiny steel buttons and a narrow edge of black »sivet A large rosette of scar let silk fastened the waistband. The illustration shows the most ef fective method of arranging the new velvet scarf. Just now so much In vogue. Society Women Forgot Nome of Play but Shs Enjoys! Herself Im mensely In Gossiping. Whet the Doctor Suggests, Not What Hs Gives, Has Greatest Effect on Patient. “W ell, did you enjoy your evening, my dear?” "Indeed I did. John. I went to the opera." "Oh, what did you hear?" "Rather, what didn't 1 hear? I heard that Ruth Jackson was engaged to Tom Harris, the one who got drunk at the golf club ball last y**J.r. And that Jack Courtney and E dfli Pascoe have quarreled and are not going to be married after all. Then I beard that the Singletons have a baby, and Mrs. Singleton wants lt called Peter Garibaldi, after her mother’s stepfa ther; but Mr. Singleton wants lt called Primus, because It’s the first. Then I heard that Baron von Schmeldt Is not a baron at all, and that ths Johnsons------ ” "But------" “Don’t Interrupt I thought you wanted to know what I heard?” "So I did, but------ ” "Keep quiet, then. Well, I al so heard------ ” “W hat I meant was, what opera did you hear?" “Oh, I don't remember. I saw the name on the program.” "Doctor." said one of those self-cen tered ladlee who are always extract ing opinions gratis from the medical profession, "what do you consider the best food as a constancy?" "Hope, madam," returned the doc tor, promptly, "at all times and In all places. Not a senseless optimism, but a self-respecting hope. Heaven and Nature Intended lt to be the chief pabulum of the race.” The table dared not smile, and the doctor, hav ing secured a few minutes' Immunity, declined "wholesome” prefaces, and fell upon a robust breakfast of bacon and eggs, waffles and hot rolla. The lady regarded him wistfully, for the doctor ate with appetizing gusto. A stomach long trained on other peo ple's theories concerning edibles was not to be trifled with, so she was fain to satisfy herself upon a tasteless cereal, and then nibbled a little dry toast and sipped a woeful substitute for coffee. But the doctor Is nothing If not humane, so, between his waf fles he looked across at her pleasantly and began: "I said that because what a doctor actually does or gives Is In finitely leas In Its effect than what he suggests. This Is a truth old as Hippocrates and Galen, though, per haps, only In this age are we begin ning definitely and Intelligently to utilize It Happiness Is the substance and aim of life and living, and hope la nine tenths, say of happiness; Its greatest factor; therefore beware of unconsciously dispensing with hope.” — Harper’s Weekly. FAR LOOK FOR 8M ALL THINGS He— Often when I look up at the «tara In the firmament I cannot help thinking how small, how Insignificant I am after all. She— Gracious! Doesn’t that thought ever strike you except when you look at the stars In the firmament? Exasperating. All afternoon Mr. Stubb had been moving pictures from one room to an other and his only reward was dust and perspiration. "Hurry up, John,” chided Mrs. 8tubb, Impatiently. "You will never finish at that rate." Mr. Stubb removed the cobwebs from his florid brow. "Woman, do you think I’m a mar chine?” "Gracious, how funny!" “Madam, may I ask what is funny V "Why, dear. If you were a machine you would be a moving-picture ma. chine.“ And then and there Mr. Stubb washed his hands and started for the club. An Expert’s Opinion. A student in a medical college, whlH learning the use of the ophthalmo scope, was told to examine a man’s eye and report upon the condition ol It. The doctor-to-be adjusted the In strument and looked long and search- lngly Into the subject's left optic. “Most remarkable,” he ejaculated, with a surprised look. Readjusting the ophthalmoscope, he again careful ly scrutinized the eye. "Very extraor dinary, Indeed,” he exclaimed. "1 never heard of such an eye. This must be some new disease. Have you ever had an expert s opinion on lt?” "Once,” was the laconic reply. "The man who put lt In said lt was a fine bit of glass.”— Tit-lilts. The Inventive Parent.
