NEWEST HATS,

made Of butter colorcd lace, and in the
center was an aigret of osprey. There
were strings of moire silk cut bias and
folded in, and these were pinned together,
not tied. There was another hat pre-
cisely like this, only the MORO ribbon
crossing the crown was wide and tied un-
der the chin in q large bow, with lace frills
at the ends.
Another quaint hat was made of black
neopolitan, with three rows of spanglcs
set along the edge of the ~lacclike material.
This vas made so full in tho brim that it
curved into many scellops, amid which
were set tufts of pink wax begonia flowers
n foliage. On each side was q crushed
rosette of pale pink lissc. This hat had no
strings, and it was extremely light, grace
full and summary.
The quaintest of oil the novelties was a
very large oyster shell shaped hat in coarse
braid, mixed green and russell red. 1t ia
pered to a narrow scoop in the back, which
was all the attempt there was at q crown.
There was u frill of white lace all around
the brim and q three loop bow Ind ends of
black moire ribbon Oh tho left side. Tho
who'll top was covered with a straggly
mass of blue cornf1owers, and they dropped
over the right side in the back, hanging

or four other hats of this same shape
trimmed in nearly the same manner,
though in different colors. The lace frill
is seen on many hats for summer, particu-
larly on those to be worn for such occa-
sions as would permit of handsome gowns.
Such q hat would look well at a garden
party, or for visiting, or for Il carriage ride,
but it would be u little out of place in a
theater or for ordinary street wear.
There is scarcely any limit to the shape
n sizes of summer hats. The most of
them are bent and twisted and tortured
into such q multiplicity Of shapes as Solo
mon in all his wisdom never forcsaw.
There is nothing too odd or too costly for
trimming, and, on the other hand, there is
nothing too simple or plain to look well
upon them. Some of the white and black
chips are made to look very dainty and
dressy with scarfs Of black or white dot
ted net, and with full r~osettes set here and
there where fancy dictates, each rosette
holding q white osprey aigret.
l often wonder how women got along be-
Tore osprey sprays came into vogue. They
are so light and airy that they give a grace
to the stiffest of materials that nothing
else can. I believe each one Of these is the
sole possession Of value to one osprey, and
If that is so the race must soon die out.
The flmy floating marabout plumes are
forgotten by fashion and lave been for at
least two decades. Now is the time to
bring them forward if there are any more
anywhere, for they belong on the hats
with dropping laces.
In one large establishment I saw a few
OF the most exaggerated types of poke bon
nets with crowns. These crowns stood I'D
smartly about six inches, but the scoop
like brim was still higher, leaving d deep
dent in the center, where a ribbon is twist
ed and brought around the crown tying
In the front into a high Topped bow, with
ends which extend down over the cars to
tie under the chin. The inside of one of
these scoops was lined with pink tulle
shirred very full. There was one of the
graceful little Duchess d'Uzcs hats in fine
black chip, with a low bell crown and a
deeply tipped and rolling bri1n. This had
two fluffy black plumes lying around the
