During the Summer Season by
American Bellies.
New YORK, June MY Dear Nina:
So you want me to tell you about sum-
mer hats. But please do not bla me me
if those tell you of do not suit you.
There are so many shapes and kinds
of headgear this season, and then there
are two distinct classes of hats, YOU
know-those worn by the very wealthy
and those worn by the not very wealthy.
Most of the millinery establishments
show the former kind-that is, the ne
plus ultra style of headgear-made up
colors, of largest shapes, and with the
gayest and dain tiest of flowers.
saw pretty Miss Amy Beyd in the
park the other day with anhimmense
Leghorn hat caught up at on side and
wreathed in big pink crush roses. It
was faced with black velvet and was
really bewitchingly becoming, but it
would not do fora girl who has no car-
riage, and must walk OF ride in the
horSe-carS.
Then l saw Mrs. Ladenburg the other
day out walking in a pale yellow hat
trimmed with many bows of yellow and
black ribbon velvet. Decidedly pretty,
of course, and so becoming to her soft,
dark eyes and hair. but she can afford
to pay $50 for new hat each week,
and no one will say, aThere comes MIS-.
Ladenburg in that old yellow hat.'
When girl can only have one best
hat and two or three every day ones
for summer, she should be very care
full about choosing them. Black or
white is always safe, and the hats of
lace or gauze this year are so prette
that one may easily be content with
them.
have one copied from an Imported
hat. 1t is the empire shape, and is just
the wire frame, covered with illusion.
1 shirred it in puffs between each wire
and faced it in the same way, and then
have four clusters of flowers, which l
fasten to it, to wear with different
gowns. l have big bunch of poppies
for my black lace, my white gowns and
daisies for my blue and gray gowns.
bunch of mignonette for other dresses,
and wreath of pink roses covered
with the illusion when l wish to wear
it in a carriage or to very fashionable
affair.
Lena has bought five of the prettiest
of everyday hats, and not one of them
cost her over 80. She is going to Long
Branch, you know, and so she bought
an immense Leghorn hat for $1.5O, and
has put wreath of daisies about it.
She is to wear that hat OH the beach.
Then she has the sweetest and oldest
little pansy bonnet for carriage wear.
1t is of cream-white straw, and is
trimmed with big bow of black vel
vet, with facing of the same, and lit
flo CTR fo octop of ona cido with
pearl fly.
For moonlight walks she made the
dearest little white tulle bonnet, all
shirred oyer frame, and dented in the
center, with big butterfly bow on the
top and tulle strings, which are to be
tied loosely in front.
Her travelling bonnet is of gray
straw in three deep curves, and is
trimmed with a cluster of cOlumbine
blossoms, the dull reds and yellows
looking very artistic and Just matching
the Persian design on her gray dress.
For morning hat she has white
italian straw of the conventional shape.
trimmed with white ribbons.
other day. 1t was the exact shape of
an inverted saucer, and was fastened to
little cup-like crown that just fitted
her head. 1t looked somewhat like an
Oxford hat and was very becoming.
The straw was delicate fawn and it
was trimmed with wreath of green
leaves. l suppose she meant it to rep
resent cup of tea. and as she was at an
afternoon tea when saw her, it seemed
very appropriate.
So many fashionable women are wear
ing these little round hats made en-
tirely of fine flowers. such as pansies
and forget-me-nots, with band of dark
velvet about the bottom. They are nice
for one who expects to travel. because
they are easily kept in trunk, and
even if they do become little tumbled
they do not show it. Many of the girls
| know have bought them to wear in
travelling through Europe.
Great, big, coarse straw hats, trimmed
with big bows of bright ribbon, are to
be used at the seaShOre this summer,
and for walking in the moutains there
are such cute little tourist hats i'm white,
blue and gray, and soft tennis hats en-
broidered in flowers.
The milliner told me that little sun
bonnets OF white pique and lace were to
be worn at Newport and Bar HarbOr. l
should think they would look very
pretty, and at any rate they would save
a girl from having red nose at dance,
even if she went sailing in the morn
ing. Lovingly, DOROTHY.
