brim presents ii contrast To her shapes
that are almost universally turned up
at the back from whence the floral
trimming falls over the low crown.
Neapolitan, fancy braid or Leghorm are
the Kinds of straw most popular, but
IN rivalry come shIrred hats of lace or
silk or cotton null, the two former
finished with flowers and the latter by
very fine white embroidery. Both kinds
of null are in white and pretty shades
of pink, blue, hcliotrope. pale yellow,

annual visitation, but the sailor is dis
tanced this year by an offshoot of it,
