The King Diamond Tale on a Shipboard Diamond Theft

On a trans Atlantic voyage the Laconic purser Horrocks tells a saga of a famous stolen diamond known as the King Diamond. Diamonds drive talk and bets among passengers while a British yacht’s presence stirs rumors. A challenger to finish the tale looms as the room awaits the unknown spoiler.

Millinery Notes on Felt Velvet Hats and Toquets

County fashion notes describe felt and velvet hats for morning wear such as alpines with quills or cog feathers, square crown shapes, and beaver felt revivals. Velvet toques feature plumes and front placements with jeweled buckles, while beaded velvet and tulle bands create metallic effects. The piece highlights forward leaning toquets, Louis Quinze and shepherdess styles, and a Jacqueminot velvet cluster with red roses as shown.

Winter wraps and cape fashions replace old styles

Fashion notes describe coats with basques sewn to bodies, satin straps forming arabesques, and Louis Quinze wraps gaining favor. Girl caps grow shorter in front, capes feature circular flounces, and jackets favor plain cuts with close sleeves. Mohair braid trims jackets and capes, while a pictured girl’s cape shows coquille revers and white satin lining. Brown felt hat with velvet band and beige plume cluster completes the ensemble.
