The Millinery of the Moment.

Long .ostrich feathers grouped together gracefully, so that as many as sii ot seven are sometimes employed to make one magnificent “panache” for the sola adornment of a large hat in crinoline o? fine chip, will undptjbtedly remain a favourite form of trimming all through the season, and _oke which has everything to recommend it, except perhaps its costliness. Setting aside this consideration, however, one can but admire the lovely curves which these long feathers take, and the air of graceful elegance which they never fail to give to the large picture hats with the new high crowns and wide fiat brims sweeping upwards at the side and yet bending down over the hair at the back. Sometimes three ostrich plumes are seen in three totally different shades on one and the same-hut, but there is a considerable risk in thus -mixing one’s colours, ami the inost successful of the fcather-trim-ined hats are undoubtedly those in which the ostrich plumes are of the same tone as the straw or crinoline of which the shape is made.
