Show WING ORNAMENTS V- . M crfr, : ' ' fry J I V:- K wvv A 1 Wings, large and small (but mostly Bmall), have been made for late summer sum-mer and early fall millinery and the manufacturer has considered their mounting in nearly every case. The base of the wing is set in a little dish of feathers or a raised band or some other device that will adjust Itself to the brim or crown of shapes. This is sewed to the hat and the wings spring from it at all sorts of odd angles and In many novel positions. Among the prettiest wings are those that show two colors, one on the upper and a contrasting color on the under side. That is, the wing is lined with small feathers in a contrasting color. Most of these two-toned wings are large and used on long velvet turbans tur-bans of white they form the only decoration dec-oration and all that is needed. Wide-brimmed shapes with small wings poised on the brim edge or crown suggest to the mind butterfly bedecked hats. Some of the wings are very like huge butterflies. The man- ner of poising the wings in nearly, every case suggests a bird or butterfly just ready for flight, a matter of personal per-sonal arrangement. Wings have come to stay for some time. As they are made now, they are, for more durable than in past seasons, The feathers are sewed to a foundation, founda-tion, and considering the time and experience ex-perience necessary to make them, it is a wonder they can be sold sq cheaply. Next to the wing for street hate, standing brushes promise to make the. best impression. These are manufactured, manufac-tured, also, with ornamental stem mountings of feathers. They may be sewed to the hat without the use o an ornament of any kind. Nevertheless Neverthe-less small flat bows and other bows are often used with them. As the season advances other ornaments may increase In favor, for they are new and already well launched upon a revival. re-vival. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. |
