Plain hat of gray silh with large motif of black velvet outlined with steel beads. ' union of two fabrics is often equally pleasing A charming model, for the woman who delights de-lights in a small but distinctive creation completes com-pletes the trio. Gray silk is used for the foundation foun-dation of this clever chapeau, and an effective contrast is achieved by the introduction of the black velvet motif. The petal-like shapes that radiate from the front of the hat are outlined with tiny steel beads that glisten brightly in the sunlight. A nodding ostrich plume is the characteristic char-acteristic feature of the hat that adds much charm to the costume pictured at the left. Its color, steel gray, harmonizes beautifully with the steel giay tones of the lclghorn, whose somewhat some-what severe outline is gently softened by a plaiting of pale gray tulle. The model at the extreme left instantly reminds re-minds one of styles in olden days, for beneath the shell-like leghorn hat appears a quaint gray tulle cap that will surely win the favor of the damsel who adores the fading past with its hours of romance. Not a whit less picturesque is the hat that tops the picture. This lovely confection con-fection is fashioned from horsehair with plait-ings plait-ings of tulle that crest the upstanding brim, while the droopiug veil that barely touches the lips is also madejpf this filmy material.

The sleeves end in a tight cuff midway between the elbow and the wrist. While they arc extremely plain at the top and bottom, this seventy serves to accentuate the fullness that is cleverly inserted in the double puffs, for fashion seems to adoic the use of enormous quantities of material, which must necessarily be bunched up on sleeves or skirt. This idea is further emphasized in the creation crea-tion at the left. Originated in a lovely s.hade of ashes of roses chiffon taffeta, this costume is excellently adapted for afternoon wear. The bodice girds the figuie quite closely and in line recalls the armor of the knights who rode forth to battle in coats of mail. Although the collar is quite high in the rear, yet some consideration is given to the comfort of the wearer, for the neck is unfettered in the front. The belt curving downward at the waist line and the formal shoulder bands are prettily cmbioidered with small steel beads. The skirt is lavishly shirred and the silk smaitly bunched up at the sides, while the sleeve puffs are clever replicas of the skirt draperies.
