MoT iliat the hat wlde-of-brlm has come to supplant the little head fitting types In our affections no In deed, that Is not the message of this group of Interesting velvet chapeaux. There Is, however, an "exception to every rule" and a few of these excep tions are set forth herewith. The fact that these creations emanated from the salons of various noted French modistes couftrms their style authen ticlty. A visit to exclusive shops In America Amer-ica also reveals the fact that quite a showing of In rue velvet shapes are in- styled with exaggerated simplicity, or shall it be fashioned of frothy. bllU'WJ tulle with bouffant skin fluttering out Just like the airy fairy dresses that fairies wear In story-book pictures! Truth Is, "you pay your money and take your choice,' and when all is said and done you will have won the approval of Dame, Fashion without question. The picture shows two widely different dif-ferent types, and the one Is as modish as the other. White velvet has captured cap-tured the fancy of the elite as a m dlum for the formal gown.

Regurdltss of the fact that by far the greater majority major-ity are wearing tiny molded-to-the-head types, some few smartly f rocked women are completing the picture of their afternoon reception gown or their dinner dresses, with broad-of-brim velvet hots. The illustration reg isters a charming Instance of an af ternoon frock topped with a wide brimmed velvet hat, (placing the em phasis on velvet), for it is the simple exquisite big velvet types which have won a place on the winter program. A cartridge-plaited skirt In front and a long-pointed back panel which the picture fails to show are the distinctive distinc-tive notes in thie afternoon frock which Is developed of satin In shades ranging from blue to purple a favorite favor-ite French color scheme, this, of amethyst and royal blue.

Silver embroidery at neckline and girdle blends exquisitely exquis-itely with the soft sheen of the velvet. When Dorothy Culliver, that clever star who Is shining so brightly In the firmament of screen actresses, made her appearance at a recent social gathering, she danced her way straight Into the hearts ot her many admirers. By the way, have you ever given thought to an evening gown of bright orange-colored tulle? Well, Miss Culliver Cul-liver did, and had it made just as shown In this picture, which shows her good taste, for the effect of all-yellow all-yellow tulle is enchanting. However, tulle for the evening frock may be white or flesh or black, or in pastel tints, according to the mode's decree, and in every Instance It registers sprightly charm and fascination. Referring again to the frock of white velvet, there Is a growing enthusiasm en-thusiasm for pure white for evening wear. The Idea Is being carried out to the extreme, with results that are enchanting. For Instance, either t in. ' Jv 'SJS' .

She opened the window to see If the rain was coming straight down so that it wouldn't hurt the curtains, or if it was com ing in. Yes, she was afraid the rain would hurt thf curtains u little. The rain would make them limp and not so beautl ful. Of course when they were a bii older she would have to have her window o p e n but just now when they were She Didn't Know so newl what to Do.

The Idea of matin a semi-fitting bodice of white satin with a very houf fant klrt tiered In many ruf lies Is conspicuously featured In party-frock styling this season.

The Qeen Ik ACHRISIJHAb blURy HE green glass thing gleamed like an eye as Olivia took It from Its holly-paper wrappings wrap-pings and looked at It rue-fully. rue-fully. She had been excited and hopeful about this Christmas gift from Aunt Mntllde and It was disappointinga disap-pointinga bit of green glass, gnarled and unlovely. Olivia had never seen her aunt, who was childless, wealthy, and altogether a likely star In the horizon of a vigorous young artist of a niece. Certainly It was surprising to have received this gift at all, for the aunt and the artist niece had, heretofore, known little of each other ; but Olivia gathered up the tinsel cords and papers and pranced to her shining shin-ing kitchen. Today was the day of her great chance, for Draheim, decorator decora-tor of homes beautiful, was coming to take tea, and she was looking for a junior partner. Olivia had Joys prepared, pre-pared, but the green glass thing was a problem. If Matllde's card had not promised a visit on this .day of days, the way might have been easy, although there were few hiding places within the little flat. But now the gift must be dis played In all Its discordant green ness. Everything else was perfect The silver twin kled softly In a polished heap be aide carefully folded linen. S e r v 1 n z . trays were ready with a smart array of nuts, and candied violets, and fruits and creams almost an entire pay check's worth. The giblet salad, subtly sub-tly suggestive of opulence, was cooling cool-ing properly in its mold of aspic Jelly, and the rolls were heating piping hot In the little glass-walled oven. The boy left the Ices in the back entry and tipped his hat respectfully, very. Olivia's chin went a trifle higher quite without her knowing and the worried little lacy puckers across her forehead, fore-head, suddenly turned somersaults. She laughed. She fingered the purse In her pocket, doubtfully; three pennies, pen-nies, exactly, pay day yesterday and the next one when? Everything was delightfully expensive. But the green thing still grinned on he mantle piece. Olivia had a swift disturbing vision of this aunt whom she had never seen and she made a little grimace at the picture. Oh that Draheim and Aunt Matllde should not have to meet Olivia's rooms were In exquisite taste soft, w arm browns with dashes of Chinese teds and blues that shone on old tnahogany and teak, an etched brass oowl on the table, a real Maxfleld Parrish on the wall between the window, win-dow, and the green glass thing on the mantel three cents In Olivia's pocket She regarded the glass ornament orna-ment thoughtfully and wondered if it might have been smashed In the mall, and decided no. Olivia was not a good liar. She considered a headache or a broken leg and thought of the gib-let gib-let salad and the pickled cantaloupe. The borrowed maid had not arrived, ar-rived, but Madame Draheim had. Olivia knew by the positive, well-be-haved way In which the door-bell Jingled. "What can I do? Interior decorator, I, with a green glass thing like that on my mantel piece? Yes, Draheim will be Impressed, very. "The door-bell rang, again. Insistent Suddenly, Sud-denly, Olivia knew what she would da And she "would get the coveted position. Draheim, decorator of homes beautiful, beau-tiful, had bright little beady blue eyes that leveled at once fiercely above her flitting quail of a body. They ap-proved ap-proved energetically of the Chinese reds ana blues and the polished ma-bogany ma-bogany and teak, of the etched brass bowl and the Parrish picture, and then they fell on the green glass thing. It had never grinned so boldly from the lively room, an ugly mask la A RONDEAU W SANTA CLAUs ft.
