New York, July 81 In the hottest of
all hot days the summer girl wonders
what could have possessed the first hui
man being that demanded covering for
the head. Paul no doubt, had great
deal to do with it, when he so strictly en-
joined upon a woman the necessity of
covering her head, not only with hair,
but with some adOrnment. But holy
man that he was, he must have approved
of all our pretty little fixings and fussings,
for he expressly states, after telling us
that the woman was made for man, that
'for this cause ought the woman to have
power on her head"
Now, Paul was right and although in
the sultry days we would fain discard ev-
cry speck of headgear we recognize that
it can indeed be made a wOndrous power
That is why the summer girl is willing to
be burdened with the weight of her beau
tiful, bewitching, lovely summer bounets.
They feel dreadfully uncomfortable, par
ticularly when the heavy coil of hair
also lies close TO her head, but she knows
that the daring little curve on one side
and the turn back brim on the other
where nestle flowers, feathers or knot,
brightenS her face wonderfully, and by
its peculiar shape brings into more prom
inence a rather insignificant feature
For, thanks TO the freedom with which
one may twist and turn the straw of to-
day, hat may be the making of one
For it may bring out charms of which
you never dreamed and soften irregulari-
ties or an undue prominence of points,
that has caused you worry and anxious
thought.
There is latitude-more latitude than
ever before-in the choice of your bonnets
Never have more styles been shown in
the shops, as 1.-The latest" Tho latitude
has spread to colors although, of course,
we are usually careful to match of gown
or the trimming Of it. And when we
have done this, no more thought seems TO
be expended for the colOring, except,
possibly, to ascertain how many incon-
gruOus colors and shades may be blended
into a harmonious whole.
We have read a great deal, of late,
about the revivals of the old styles in
bonnets, and, for curiosity, / ran through
an old book to see if it was so. The glance
was very reassuring Such lofty pima
cles as those old hats attained it has never
been our lot to know. The structures
were most complex. Indeed, | marvel
that they held together for a
season - if, indeed, they actu-
ally did. Not only were they tall, but
wide and massive and closely pinned to-
gether. These structures, however, all
bore the stamp of the Directoire. and not
of the good Princess Eugenie
If you will be coquettish, trim your hat
altogether in front, and almost entirely
beneath the brim. The brim must be
broad must be turned back somewhat,
must be curved or pleated, and then trim
med with your long looped bows, tiny
birds, chiffon puff, or other
adornment. We grow cruel again.
The perfect bird, or the wings of it.
are seen once more upon the summer hat.
1t is usually the wing only, however
When the brim has been duly covered, it
is permissible to add one or two velvet or
chiffron rosettcs, a loop or two, or small
flower cluster, just back Of it. This com
pletes your hat, which slopes of your
