PARIS, October 19th.

If black is the prevailing colour, for. frocks, it is even more so for hats. No: piece of millinery can hope for recogni tion that is not black to be better still it must be hatter's plush or velvet and trimmed with feathers of some descrip- tion, for preference those that stick out! in a series of more or less ugly and graceless spikes, Hats at Longchamp, on Sunday week, wore laden with a mass of feathers placed more or less indiscrimin ately on the crown or round the brim. Glycerined ostrich is a hot favourite, this particular type of feather being massed round and on top of a crown so that from afar the hat resembles more a wild- bird's nest than an article of feminine head-gear. It also encircles the under brim and droops in a tantalising fashion over the wearer's eyes. A Breton sailor shape will be trimmed with two or three rows of glycerined ostrich feathers, sown round the upturned brim, and a trail of of them will hang down from the right side. Although very smart, such a vogue must be seen frequently in order to ad custom the onlooker to the sight of these streaky feathers dangling down from a hat and almost blinding its wearer, for all the world as though she had slept out all night in the rain wearing this parti calar hat

Quills although one still sees them trimming the simple type of hat that Parisiennes wear when engaged in morning shopping or when travelling. Encircling the crown of a small felt hat, or laid on in one' sweeping-line at the back, the effect is so becoming that one cannot resist having one hat, at least, trimmed with a quil). As a rule, never more than one quill is used, whether it is made to encircle the crown or to jut out at right angles to it on the brim. The length varies accord- ing to the use one wishes to put it to, but the width is never less than inches.

Ostrich plumes remain to drape the more picturesque type of hat or to be bund din clumps and stuck on the side of the hat so as to catch the brim to the The crown-and droop over the former. mode of taking a wide plume and drooping it over the back brim so as to form a curtain effect, is still popular with tall women who can carry off such a trying fnabion

Because of such bulky trimming, the majority of hats are small and close fitting, or else turban iz type; the ro mainder are wide-brimmed, with sweep- ing lines turning up in front and slightly also on the sides. These are "invariably trimmed with a single plume, or else with very "decorative steel or jet ornament. There were many evidences of the draped bat, a fashion which promises to return in full force during the coming season. At present, it is being fashioned in velvet or ribben...

After feathers, comes jet aa trimming, and, from what I have seen of the models recently launched by the big modistes, jet is going to take pride of place before everything else. It is already firmly established as a trimming for frocks and for the fashioning of the all-popular girdle, and before many weeks, I am sure it will be taking the place of feathers, plumes, quills and the rest of it. Just now, it is being used in two distinct ways; when figuring on the big, wide-brimmed type of bat, it appears only in the form of cut ornaments. A hat of this sort at- Longchamp had a smallish crown and a wide brim sloping towards the left, where it was slashed and one end turned up and the other down, each being trimmed with Hata beautifully cut jet ornament.

that are Napoleonie, in form will also be trimmed with a single jet ornament. As there is not much in the way of quantity, special attention is paid to the quality of decoration, with the result that some of these, jet ornaments are of surprising beauty of design and workmanship, and many of them must be as costly as jewela

When figuring on small hats, jet ap- pears in the form of beads strung into loops; these wind round the hat and in- variably droop down over the care in a cluster" of six or seven loops, making the wearer look from a distance as "though she is wearing mammoth jet ear-rings. As well as hanging down over the cars, very often a loop or two is added under the chin as well, a fantasy which imme-t diately produces an Oriental effect, so much so, that, the form of hat chosen for trimming of this type is invariably the turban or a squat little model resembling the top stratum of a Chinese pagoda. Bound these, and hanging from them, are loops of jet. Velvet and satin are the popular materials for such models, but they are becoming so much tho vogue that they frequently figure as theatre hats, in which case they are made of lace. A pretty theatro hat I saw recently had a crawth entirely composed of flat jet bends, about the size of sixpence, woven together, and a brim of black Chantilly lace, a string of jet beads being looped Bader the chin.

Steel, also, is relieving the sombre note of black. One sees it in tiny bead form embroidering gowns, in shining roper of bigger beads worked, into girdles, and in still bigger form, and designed and cut like the more elaborate of the jet orna ments, decorating hats. With this innova tion, there has been revived that of steal clasps for bags, and now all the more decorative and elaborate of these show clasps of pisin or cut steel, Steel buckles are also tho vogue for shoes, and stcel atuils are encrusted into the heels of patent leather evening shoes or even walk- ing shoes of the more delicate type.

Black for colour; velvet, hatter's plush,' felt or satin, for material; feathers, plumes, jet and steel for trimming, such are the decrees of fashion for hata-issued by the mannequins from the Bag Kings-who-paraded at Longchamp on Sunday week. But, on all the course. there was not a flower or trace of ribbon:

to be seen, and, as Longchamp-on-a-big day is the thermometer which registers the pulse of Paris fashion, this means that all Paris-these two methods of trimming are taboo for the moment.
