the head. is in fine mOde-colored straw

which ia run around near the crown, tied
in hugo rosette or bow upon the right
aida and brought further, around to the
centrs at the back, where its long ends
are allowed 10 fall. Its garniture con-
rists OF two feather sigretes in light ecru,
set upon the top amidst the ribbons.
In preparing a round shape one thing
is TO be borne in mind-tLe trimming
must be punched. Whether it consist
Of ribbons, flowers, or feathers it must
not be scattered around the hat, but all
brought together in one place, usually
just in tho centre, at the front and at the
top OF the crown. thus greatly exag-
eeratlng the height of the hat.
