The Saratoga piazza hat is delicious
combination of Valeuciennes lace and
null; strings of null or no strings, as
the wearer may determine, but the soft
glow of rosy light so often thrown on
the face by Innings of pink null is GER
tainly charming. Occasionally there
are additions of flowers. ribbon bows,
or velvet, but null and Valenciennes
suffice to produce something extremely
pretty. Neither is the mull-trimmed
Leghorn fiat at all flat in general es-
teen, but very piquant rather, and
adorned with simple flower or two

hats are trimmed with plain colored or
embroidered Grape without any other
addition. A hat of any kind, neyerthe-
