NEW TRICK IN MILLINERY
Long Strings of Black Velvet Are Seen on Little Bonnets This Season.
"Straws show which way the wind blows." So, also, do the little bonnets of tulle, coquettishly set upon the waved and puffed coiffure and garlanded with myosotis, and the large turbans lined with felt, that have quite taken the place of almost all other forms of headgear during the last few weeks.
Every one of them have long strings of black velvet which are tied at the side and at the back and have thin long ends floating, or caught with a jeweled pin high over the bust and on the left side.
The "sleeve" string is simply a very long loop of broad velvet ribbon, through which the arm is slipped. It hangs loosely on the left side under the arm.
This new trick in millinery is causing not a little comment regarding its probable popularity, but withal seems to be finding favor in the eyes of the truly great dictators of styles.
