MILLINERY FASHIONS.

The Paris carrospondent of the "Sydney Daily Telegraph"!..writes: that 'all hats and every lint must bo small, according to the 'dictates of Parisian, milliuory, and a wonderful amount of. inKcnuit.v is beins displayed in procuring a.novel arrangement on so small.a spiice. Mack'is-the favoured of all tones for ninety hats put of every hundred, the two other colours next in fuv,our being tete do nogre, corbrau (raven's blue), 1 rind'.'pet.rolojtiio dull greyish green), which is so' becoming to a bright complexion .

1 After a few days' stay in Paris tho impression one gets is that lnoiidaiucs ate wearing hats for.thc-'most. part .of black velvet, Hindi: ' in .-. comparatively small shapes, with here and tliot.e'an exception, in black-'moire'antique','...l'arK siiuis realise how extraordinurily , becoming is tbe.btack velvet.. chapequ, fashioned in 'tight-fitting shapes,, some swathed 'round crown, others \vith_ liigh. brim "at left side; again, others'i'urmng, abruptly off fitire with a-cleft iii centre/ f ronj which springs a black' fa'ntareic;

Fantastic fcatlioi" ■■ mounts play ft. prominent part, some of them being of such an exaggerated 'licijrlit tliat it is ttiHscult to imagine how they can bo aeuonunodated in an ordinary motor or taxi unless they arc provided with an obliging hinge in the ceiit'rc, fay means of wi.iich they can b?..made to stoop their 'lofty heads whesi''occasion requires. ■ So long as they.are not too exaggerated, these tall mounts are exceedingly becoming, as they always give a desirable appearance of height to tho figure. The "Query" mount, so popular, is worn exactly in the front of tho petite chapcau, with tho curl pointing outwards. .' This gives a remarkable look to' tho profile, but it certainly solves the problem of the "tickling" .pliimo, 'since it is not. likely to get into 'people's way unless the wearer stoops down.

An ostrich feather with n: tightened stem and spreading "plumage" at. the top is new, ami by way o'f contrast one can have tin; quill that tapers to »' point. But hs ight is tho eii'eet aimed at in tho choicest niillinery. . Ermine is ■'much used hero in conjunction with black panne or velvet, whilst another popular fur witinbliick velvet is skunk. Yc-to tic "negro is ft colour that enjoys faviinr next to black. One particular-. lv chic model was composed of velvet of that shade, having a band of skunk all the way round the\crown, two yellow fantasies posed : ;at an eccentric angle across tiro front.: ' ' ' ' uia new "Tango" hats, with-their handkerchief bows" ami-bandeaux, remind one of the old Toreador favourites, and are specially well suited for a(lnlice of Spanish .origin, ■ One model that particularly took my fancy at a leading modiste's in the Hue de la Paix was made of Bordeaux coloured velvet with a soft pincushion-like crown, a soft fold in the saint!-.toue-d moire.rib--boi\. draped under-.the brim, and was tied in a very*smart bow on tlie left side. Needless' to say, very little hair is seen under these- small hsvts,' veils of fine ecru-tinted lace, 'or patterned nit am ires chic, whilst earrings nml nei-k----laces of cut amber or black jet arc the newest wear.,. .. v : \. : , :
