"Little Miss Maffet" Headdress of Silver Wirt Fmai,
with Silver Spider.
little slits can be covered with transparent material and the hair caa
be shielded by veiling behind the bare of eilk. It serve the pnrpoa
of ableldlnc the eyes and t the same time It doei not deface aa.do
the f osslea. I picked It out. and I ahow It became thla is really an
Idea, and worked oat most, excellently with not only tie aim of
utility, but also of decoration..
The "Little Miss Muftet," wKh Ita silver wiro
frame and spider, la an Interesting little head
dress. That Is an Idea. And so, too, the "Pit and '
the Pendulum," which has Ha obvious inspiration,
of coufso, not from Poe'a famous story, but from
the tinss of Saturn. Here la quite an idea. The
top of the head and. the balr art left free to sun
shine and air, while the circular brim, pink and
transparent, shades the eyes. The pendulum af
fect comes from the broad silver band that runs
over the top of the head, and is finished by the
curious pendant.
The "Horn of Plenty" is a very useful veil brim,
forming a part of the hat which I introduced thla
Spring. The grapes at the top give It its name.
It is all blue and green.
Very charming, Indeed, Is the "Silver Birch,"
with its very unusual and Interesting shape and
ita great blue butterfly at the top and lu sliver
leaves scattered down over the chiffon. Here la
not only a practical but a very beautiful hat. The
"Roulette," with Ita blue and white circular brim
and simple blue crown, with the cap coming dewa
over the forehead. Is also charming.

RECENTLY I rlslted the New York School of
Fine and Applied Art and was very much in
terested In the work of the young women and
young men who are its students. I was much Im
pressed by the originality shown in their designs, and
If occurred to me' that here was a definite refutation of
the charge that hats or dresses could not Te designed
in America by Americans because they lacked fashion
Ideas. So I Invited the young ladles and young gentle
men to make sketches of original hats and headdresses,
and I would give them prize for the winner and also'
make up the hats that I picked out as good, Just to
ahow them how their ideaa would look ia actual
practice.
And here are some them, not changed in a single
line from the very interesting and in many cases very
beautiful designs that they submitted.
Three cf those that are shown here are distinctly
oddities. They could not be used everywhere, but
their decorative value is so great that I could not help
picking them. out.
The little bat in the left hand corner is called "The
Thief of Hearts." The idea Is carried out in the visor,
which looks ao extraordinarily like a burglar's mask.
