Among hist shapes there Is one that Is
almost universally becoming. This hat

| brim re-chiDg out moderately over and
| sgreeaoly shading the face, the high erect
crown, and the absence Of protubursnce
| behind are cGaTec er1stics Of most Of the
hats that will be worn during the op 5piug
Vt the season. Viewed from an artistic
standpoint, this hat is picturesque and
not too much exaggerated. Considered

frces, II Is admirable. In the matter Of
color, while yellow and rsssds, (nig-

eeedingly popu ST, caution is necessary 10
wearing these colors, only fresh pink
compile Iions can wear the one, or clear
Brunette the other. Imagine q woman

and on the back The rim lined with
green velvet and mass of shaded half
plumes, raDglr from light to dark green,

For orDamenting. ostrich feather tips,
ombre and also mottled, will be revived
for the demi-season bonness, and will be
worn all summer on round hats. They
come in bunches Of three, aud sometimes
two of these clusters are put on single
hat, nodding forward in front OF the
crown, Qnlle have had their brief day
OF favor, out few are imported, as well
as half stripped peacocks' feathers,
bsrbed win silver arrowhead
Flowers are burched with single long
thorny stem, or with punches If green
stems tied together. Small slender
posies, trailing branches AID vi1es, are
also made of one kind OF flower in all its
colors, as chrysanthemums Of every hue,
or else fowers Ct different kinds are
loosely tied together. A single lsrge

blossoms, sppsers to have been plucked

round hats, ana there are ivy vines for
the same purpose, while yellow or pink
roses Without foiisge are placed around
hat crowns and Chamber closely up the
front on one side. Clusters of leaves
give the green shadings that are to be
used on hsts Of any color, and are
especially pretty in ivy and in small
ferns.

Of sleeves. The close coat sleeve has all |
but disappeared. The new sleeve Is Van

puts at tire wrist, more puffs at the elbow
and still further pu6s on the shoulder |
Sometimes the sleeve Is parti- colored,
Russian, one shade or tone Of color |
