turned brim.
But, for summer, the chief object to be
kept in view is lightneSs and airiness of
effect, except, possibly, in the case of the
catching and outing hats, which are
trimmed in more sober, solid fashion.
Choose the lightest and thinnest OF
straws, but, by no means, even when the
big flares are positively unbecoming, the
smallest. For the big hat is the favOrite,
although il is often so bent and twisted
in that it loses half it's dignity in the
process. Fold after fold of it, puff after
puff, rOsette after rosette, caught with
great gold-headed pins, make beautiful
and not expensive trimming. If both hat
and trimming are true straw-cOlOr, moth
ing can be prettier.
The leghOrn, Just at this season so pop
ular and seasonable, is graceful and soft
and dropping. The white hat is thing
of beauty, if preserved spOtless. | saw

accordingly most desirable.
In flowers, blues hold their own. In
fact, the complaint one hears everywhere
is, that all the pretty blues are gone, and
that no more can be had at the shops
Flowers are somewhat OVershadowed this
summer by gauzy clouds of chiffon and
pillows of lace. They peep out it is true,
but more mOdestly and shyly than Of old,

tween the French sailor and the sailor
whose name is not on record. The
English, I think. can claim the victory,
for every one wished the high crowned,

to-day. They cost from fifty cents to
three dollars. The latter price secures "A

red or white. The white were mostly in

and blue--were also popular On the
Fourth of July the patriotic maiden added
a white ribbon to the red and blue straw
and was proud of her colors.
The French sailor, of leather, took our
fancy for awhile, but we turned quic ky,
This sailor is trimmed with flower bunch

Watching, has high crown and exceed
inRly narrow brim.
The low crowned sailor is worn to a con
siderable extent. The crown is about an
inch high, and the hat is invariably
trimmed with ribbon, wings or straw.
One of these has two rows of the shining,
braided straw, encircling the crown, and
another row at the edge of the
brim. A couple Of wings and few rib
bon loops are added, at the sides.
The chiffon yoke is the latest 70 truly
rural districts. An organdie chiHOn hat,
pointed in front and dropping over each
pink ear, leaves nothing to be desired
either in GOODNESS or appearance. 1t is
just as soft and as pretty as can be, and
rests so lightly on ones tresses that
it is possible to be cool when wearing it.
And the veil-have we discarded it,
