There are many high-crowned felts, some almost Tyrolese in trend, arranged with sultably dent- ed crowns and a felt or ribbon bow. Others have coelike crowns. In direct contrast. are the variety of tricornes and slouched cowboy styles. Pinched Homburgs and a few of the flatter soup-plate order are still to be seen. ....
In fabrics, felt, suede, antelope, velvet and hatters' plush are all manipulated cleverly by the mil- liners. Black is relieved with brightness. Quills, feathers and wings all play their part.

The Tyroler hat, with its little feather behind, has the brim bome what upturned in: front. This is only off-the-fact in a sense that a bonnet is off-the-face. Hate like candle-gnuffers, pleated and pul- led to one side, have a little re semblance to the Tyroler hat and are suitable for the very young.
FLOWER-HOLDER BROOCH
The flower-holder brooch of bril liants is a charming novelty in jewellery that has come in with the revival of the fashion of the corsage bouquet.
It is the larger berets and tri- cornes that are on the flat side with height provided by trim- mings. Both back curve-up and wide turn-up of the side brim can take-à-fringe-or-side-curls!
