gruOuS with these antique enectS; nence
the new "Greek" bonnet. 1t is low and
turban-shaped. with three Greek fillets
across the top holding soft puffs of lace
or tulle between, and sometimes form
ing the only covering above the hair.
A white and gold bonnet has the puffs
and soft crown of Valenciennes Or ORR
entail lace, held by three gilt bandeaux,
with the Greek Rey pattern carved upon
them, The only trimmings are fan-like
bows of lace on top, with lace strings.
Another Grecian bonnet has three
bronze-like bands, with the space be-
tween quite open, leaving the hair I'M
covered, and edged in front and along
the crown with pink roses; an aigrette
of leaves and buds completes the bon
net. The strings are of bronze velvet
ribbon. Similar bonnets Of black tuile
have jet bands, and those of light-col-
ored tulles have darker ribbon fillets
crossing the head.
Foliage bonnetS are made to rival the
pretty flower bonnets, those most ad-
mired being made of rose leaves in ten
der green sprays, mounted on wire
foundation that is covered with green
tulle. The front of the brim is en-
twined with green point d'esprit, which
drapes the edge effectively. An erect
spray of the leaves gives the height and
effect of an aigrette. The short strings,
each only half yard long, are OF leaf
green velvet, to be tied in bow by the
wearer, and there are tiny pins, like
rubies set in gold, thrust In the net in
the edge of the front. Ivy-leaf bonnets
are also in great favor, and there are
others of forest leaves in which there
are some autumn tinges, but the latter
are not so appropriate for the summer
as the roSe-Ieaf bOnnetS. Thick green
stems and dark leaves with red berries
are used for bonnetS to be worn
at garden parties. For flower
bonnets the smallest blossoms,
such as Parma violetS, forget-me-nOtS,
heliOtrope and hawthorn are employed
by some miliiners, while others use
large roses without foliage, finishing
yellow roses with a black velvet ribbon
bow and strings and the Marechal Mel
roses with edges of green ribbon velvet.
In all flower trimmings the stems are
long and conspicuous, especially the
stems of roses with many thorns upon
them.
White bonnets for dressy summer
wear are of the new fancy chip braids
that have double rows of loops. Some
of these have wide, open space be-
tween the brim and crown, which is
filled in with puff of lisse from ear to
ear. Others have cluster of white
roses outside and inside the front in the
point above the forehead, and loops of
white velvet ribbon come forward from
the back of the crown. Ii touch of
color is preferred for white chips, the
sides are covered by pink roses without
foliage, crowned by an Alsatlan bow of
black ribbon velvet, dropping in two
loops on the sides, and there are short
strings of black velvet. The bonnet is
appropriate with almost any dress, alike
as morning or afternoon costume.
Tuscan straw garden hats have their
wide brims faced with black or dark
colOred straw. Rough straw hats have
tuck or shirred tulle facing inside the
brim, while Leghord hats are merely
corded with two cords of black velvet,
or else lined smoothly with velvet.
Some net or tulle yelling on the crown
forms part of the trimming of various
hats, with flowers falling down the
crown from the top and large bow of
gros-grain ribbon on the left side,
placed there as if tying the flowers.
White ribbon is used for many of these
bows, while others are the color Of the
hat. Dark-blue rough straw faced with
blue net and trimmed with dropping
pink clover heads and grasses are
pretty, either for morning or afternoon
in the country. A rose garland with
much foliage is ON a Tuscan straw,
which has a point in front of the brim.
A LeghOrn hat with the brim turned up
behind and on the left side has the
crown draped with yellow tulle, on
which rest branches of green forest
leaves with shaded brown and red
leaves among them.
Another hat is of open trellis-llke
bands of straw, over which are snow
balls and green leaves, held by a large
bow in the back of green ribbon, with a
pretty edge of gauZe wrought with
straw. Sailor hats of white rough
straw with rather high crowns are
trimmed with white net of substantial
quality that will stand hard wear. This
is passed loosely around the crown, tied
in a high bow behind, held by loops of
white ribbon, and an end of the net
hangs behind to pass around the neck
and pin on the left shoulder. or else
to cover the face as a veil. This hang
ing scarf is yard long and nearly half
yard wide. Other white sailor hats
are covered, crown and brim, with
white tulle or net. A great cluster of
long-stemmed daisies or other white
flowers is set on the left of the front and
white groS-grain bow catches UP the
back. Blue and red sailor hats have net
and ribbon the color of the straw for
their trimming.
