QUAINT HATS.
Ostrich feathers are to he used in great numbers to give stately beauty to hats during the coming season (writes a London correspondent). Queen Elizabeth, it is well known, shares Queen Mary’s love for such styles. Most attractive models are, therefore, already on view. One is a little black grosgrain cap with five white ostrich tips at the top of the crown, which rises to a point. Falling from the ostrich feathers is a fine black lace veil.
More quaint is the “phonograph record” hat—a straw with ridges like those on a phonograph record. A bunch of pale green and pink ostrich feathers is looped over the crown and across the brim to give the appearance of a feather bow at the left-hand side of the head.
A third, even more picturesque, is a brown baku picture hat trimmed with ostrich feathers in turquoise and brown running across the crown to form a delicate fringe of feathers. More coquettish is one of the new toques. This is made of black cire satin trimmed with ostrich feathers appliqued flat on to the front, and forming a large curled feather at the back.
Ostrich-feather capes, in shaded colours with the deepest tint matching the evening gown, are being worn with evening frocks.
