roppy and peony. Some male cynic who
might be better employed has discov-
cred that we women, with our tiny ca
potns. tall embroidered collars and high
bouffant sleeves, look like sitting hens.
Well, suppose we do. A sitting hen that
has the patience to sit four weeks on
china nest egg is the very personifcation

The fancy straw hat pictured in the
second Illustration is trimmed very sty-
ishly with folds of yellow velvet and
black tulle, with clusters of different
colored bellhowers. Some of the wide
orimmed black lace hats have coronets'
OF overs with an upturned ruching of
lace surrounding the opening in the
center. Or, instead of the wreath, you
may make use OF two or three large
sprays of lilac or other flowers With
these hats are often worn collars 10
match, a double frilling Of black lace
divided by a collarette Of such small
blossoms as cowslips, buttercups, daisies
or viOlets, or merely bunch OF flowers
nesting in front and another behind.

the harmony of her costume still further,
has her sunshade to match hat and
collar. A very stylish effect may be at
tanned by having hat, collar and sur
shade made of black tulle strewn and
decked with hundreds of small white
flowers.
My third Illustration presents one OF
the dainty capotcs TO which have been
alluding. Its crown is of tule point

bunch of the lace and at the back

There is no doubt, as an eminent
fashion leader remarked, that so long as
woman appears in public with hat
or bonnet in the very latest spasm of
modisllness she may be permitted TO be
little careless about her dress or wrap
or mantelet But the converse OF this
