PAGE FORTY ww THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG It's a Wise Ostrich That Knows His Own Plumes These Days We have gone ostrichwnad. Bat ft is a Plessant sort of /mania, for ostrich proves to be attractive or at Jeast interesting in whatever way you use it, from a lounge cushion for your boudoir to a gay festoon on 8 French tea cosy. But, 'truth to say, jt would be a wise ostrich that wogld know his own plumage. . And . you have to look twice or thrice at what ap- rs to be a new sort of trimming ore you can idemtiy it as the plumage of this "camel sparrow.' At first, ostrich trimming was that was confined only to the =mart imported frocks or frocks put out by the most expensive shops SZC Pye RT A or dressmakers. But now you oan buy many of the ostrich fancies or trimmings by the yard or piece yourself, so if you are clever ydu can have your dresses that are made at home trimmed with this smartest of the season's trimming. When the dressmakers began to use it on eve. ning frocks it almost always. consit- ed of an ostrich feather or fancy placed at the right front at or just below the belt Hope, Sometimes this consisted of a willow feather with the fronds made to droop by means of hand-tied knots. Now the ostrich trimming is used in many other ways on evening frocks, and one very attractive frock seen lately was trimmed with a charming red rose made entirely of ostrich and cock feathers. In the sketch a corsage bunch of these cock and oétrich roses fs shown., One still calls the artifileial flowers worn on one's frock 'cor sage" flowers, although they are quite as often attached to the skirt 8 to the bodice. Sometimes feather flowers or silk or velvet roses with fronds of the ostrich fastened be-|inoon and evening frocks. tween the petals are attached to rib- bons hanging at irregular length to the waist Mne. These flowers of silk or velvet and ostrich fronds are' also used on hats. The new dressmaking firm of Madelnine ot Madelaine in Paris, that has come in for much favor. able comment this season, was one of the first to look upon the fronds rather tham the plume as the ostrich unit. - This clever dressmaking ho originated a gown in which tao ait was fairly covered with the ostrich fronds or plumes pulled from their plume and each applied to the chif- fon of the foundation with a rhine- stone. The same idea has been adopted by many other dressmakers and the single flues of the ostrich plume are used in many decorative wa, One dress shows these flues a ed under slits of the fabric of the frock and cross-stitched into po- sition. Of course ostrich used as trim ming is dyed in all the conventione' shades shown In this year's after-{ But this 4s not enough. Ostrich fans are | wade with the feathers dyed every | solor of the reinbow in a real glory | of brilliancy that suggests Joseph' s | ~* wane eplors. More than |» that designs suggestive of batik sempey nn color on 08 strich feathers both in fans and in hats. The soft plumage of the fea- thers lends itsel! very attractively to the batik work design, One of the smartest of the new hats trimmed with ostrich shows a band of the feather laid around the {small crown and a long streamer of ostrich hanging at the back. This is no willow plume, but looks for all the world like an old black ostrich boa resurrected from some trunk of a decade ago and laid carelessly around the hat. Another smart Hbtle hat looks, as one woman put it, as if it had been badly thatched with ostrich. still other hats the osrich flues are irranged in a vell-like fringe that hangs down in front of the eyes. One of the moat startling of the new ostrich uses is shown in an eve- ning gown, the skirt of which is com- posed of rows of small ostrich plumes mounted on met. The net does not | dow! They must be mounted as this foundation which holds them in position. : v wi the most charming things about the new use of ostrich is the revival of the willow plume. There #8 a gracefulness about ostrich used in this way that the short-curled plume does not have. 'A tassel of willow hangs from the center of a small closeturban and dangles grace fully far down over the hair. There are also new willow fans and as already mentioned long "sashes of willow.
