YOU'VE GIRLS HATs.-The Derby hat
is the shape chosen for general use by
ladies'. This has stiff high crown that
may be either round or square topped,
and a narrow brim that curls upward
all around. Black or brown chip is
most useful for such hats, and the trim
ming is band and binding of wide gal
loon, or else folds of black grenadine,
with gray wing or a dark ostrich tip
stuck in the left side. For more dressy
occasions broad-brimmed chip, Leg
horn, or rustic straw hats are worn
with oddly indented brims, and are
trimmed with ribbon or gauze and a
half wreath of flowers in colors to suit
the dress. Thus a pretty dress OF pale
blue bunting is worn with a white chip
hat trimmed with bluets and daisies; a
dress of ecru pongee, made with wash
er woman over skirt and pleated blouse
trimmed with cream-colored gauze and
deep red Jacqueminet roses. A white
cross barred muslin with pleated yoke
blouse and kilt skirt trimmed with
a plaid sash of gray, black, and scarlet
bars. The round hat is of white organdy
muslin shirred on fine wire, and trimmed
with bows of ribbon like the sash.
