also but q very slight crown, has two white
doves Of middle size resting with their heads
together quite down on the hair. These doves
have jeweled rings about their necks, and are
the only ornamentation on the turban save a
few rosettes on the crown, and resting SO low
on the brim Of the hat that they arc on the
hair.
Fluted or accordion plated chiffon is an
adjunct to many of the highest Summer hats,
and is put on very full about the crown. and
sometimes wired with n jet edge to do service
as bows. fine chip hat has this trimming,

Gold and black forms the color scheme OF

and sides to the crown, but no top. and
through the aperture thus formed nod yellow
roses and two ends of bow of chiffon con-
trasting with the gold band of the crown and
the little rolling, chiffon colored brim, which
is slightly ornamented. For such bonnets,
the hair needs to be dressed high, and
bonnets which use the hair as the
only crown, in the style of the coronet ribbon

style is formed entirely Of wings, set at
different angles, with two pink roses in the

Sailor hats, which are always In demand
and always fashionable, are this year OF
rough straw, and most of them with rather
high crown and brim in good proportion.
Much prettier than the broad brims of last
season. The bands on the rest of these are
invariably OF gros grain ribbon, matching ex-
actly the straws OF the sailor. When sailors

trimming may be exactly alike, aud In the
middle OF each side of the hat.
Small. round hats are more frequently
chosen for suits than the severely plain. For
instance, a tan straw, with low crown and
curving front of brim, has front trimming.
a blue velvet rosette, with gown of blue,
black, or violet, or a uncovered cloth suit.
Other utility hats are of brown straw and
black chiffon, usually iightened by a cluster
OF green leaves and pink roses as most likely
to match any gown.
Girls hats partake Of the simplicity that
other hats avoid, the Philadelphia Times fash
ion writer says. The one shown has black
crown and brown brim, trimmed with yell
low and black roses and a large black satin
bow at one side. Almost all hats otherwise
have some striking characteristic. Nor are
bonne;s less modest. The smaller a bonnet is
the more 1t seems to assert itself by some
famboyant garniture. For example, a bon
net scarcely more than an inverted saucer in
the rear had three jet cockades in the back,
arranged like the arm OF one of the paper
whirligigs one sees the iakirs sell on the
streets.
Flowers are combined in the most eccentric
manner. Black violets and lilies of the val
ley were alluded to last week. Such diverse
combinations were seen as red cherries and
black mignonette. There is no abatement in
black flowers. Men, it is said, in London
flowers belong to the order in nature OF green
carnations and yellow asters. 1t is for this
reason it is odd to see them allied to senti-
mental flowers like daisies. lilies OF the valley,
mignonette and forget-me-nots.
