called mustard and sometimes olive,
Esroehown iH'volvet- sad thin plush for
strings; this quaint color il used with
black blonde lace, and is as new IS the
silver lace with pink already described.
The most picturesque round hats for
Edressv wear at summer watering places
are of the open lace straws, With wide
briA rolled up on the right side, or else
just above the forehead. They have
the trimming massed inside the brim,
and consisting of shirred or plated
Surah, either pale blue or cream, and
some short nodding plumes falling over
the, brim at the top, and longer plume
curling down the left side, or else q
ssreath of crushed flowers without
leaves takes the place of feathers. Out
side the hat is almost without trimming,
having perhaps single long-looped
bow of satin ribbon low down on the
left OF the crown, or a butterfly that
looks as fine as a jeweled brooch; or
perhaps long pin with an Egyptian
head is thrust. through the right side.
or, it may be, the sibbon that forms
strings crosses below the crown, and 10
fastened each side by q dragon-fy
pierced by pin; or, stranger still, the
strings are held by gray silver heads Of
SKYE terriers with tinted glass eyes.
Very large ox-eyed daisies form chains
or wreaths for the front of such hats.
For more general use are rough straw
round hats with higher conical crowns,
and wide Hat brims, trimmed with POM
pons and cords outside, or else folded
bayadere-striped handkerchief, or some
short ostrich tips, eight of which sur
round the crown. spreading out on the
brim. Sometimes eight or ten POM
pons of red, or black, or cream white
silk are around the crown; on others
there are two pompons. with cord of
steel or of gilt laid around in two or
three rows. The first brim is faced
with velvet of becoming CO or. and may
be studded with jet or steel balls near
the edge, or else row of steel or gold
lace finishes it. . Another becoming
fashion easily copied Is that of turning
the. wide brim back on top, and making
it flare slightly on the sides, then COW
ering it with wreath of soft crushed
roses, which is in its turn covered by q
wide scarf of black Spanish lace, and
letting the lace fall over the crown suf-
ticiently for trimming, and then form
strings that drape the sides with the
effect of the Spanish mantilla. The
c0ronet round hat has steel lace sewed
at the top of the coronet 50 that its
pointed edges fall toward the face.
The flaring hats are worn far back on
the head, while the coronet hat is placed
further forward, and gives a broad
effect. The poke bonnets are some
times SO shaped that they may poke
downward toward the nose, and thus
afford protection from the sun, and save
the eyes. as the excellent English walk
ing hats formerly did.-Harper's Ba-
Ear.
