The "Rooater" Hat in Silk and Uee, a Survival, Perhaps, of
the Cbantader Pad.
By Lady Duff-Gordon ("Lucile")
ALONO the twuleTtrdi one uotioea tola Winter
nor atrlped fabrics tfcui are uauilly seen at
this Uma of toe year, and many of them are
rery striking. Black and white is the combination
most frequently used, but I hare seea the striped pat
terns In all colors taaoy of them Quite lurid and some
of them almost grotesque.
Of the latter description was a freak one could
hardly call It anything else I witnessed the other dsy.
It was of ratine la broad yellow and purple stripes,
and If It hsd been made up and exposed for sale as a
bathrobe, would undoubtedly hare beea rejected as
apron of lace which Is self-colored,
and which makea the whole dress
look all one colof. ' ,
The satin skirt la caught up at
the side, and shows a softly pleat
ed petticoat of chiffon and lace, with
blue ribbons run through. The tiny
bow of satin and lace which fas
tens the fichu at' the neck Is of old
blue.
The accompanying hat Is a close
flatting bonnet of the Quaker shape,
In lace and fur, with soft frill of
narrow lace to finish.
Just a word now about tho freak
hat shown In the Illustration. I
call It the "rooster" hat, because it
resembles nothing more than the
tall and body of a chantecler. Per
haps It Is a survival of the chante
cler fad. It Is made of silk and
lace, and, although Imposing, is not
I think, destined to becomo popu,

A suitable hat for ordinary wear Is trlcorne hat of
palest pink charmeuse. Its brim upturned with black
velvet and edged with a soft ruche of white oitrloh

largely into their schemes, one hat, for example, hav.

These simple black velvet shapes, either lined with a
contrast of felt or entirely black, may, indeed, be ac
counted a necessary addition to every woman's outfit
of millinery this season, some being Just finished with
a side mount of the glossy green and black coque
plumage, and thereby, of course, being made more
serviceable than when the mora attractive, white va
