one prefers, though the proper color is real
~ white. Still, as that would not suit all
persons, some have been stained. The fine
ness and beauty of these hats render much
trimming unnecessary. Nothing that |
have seen employed for the purpose is as
handsome as velvet, but ribbons, grasses
and flowers are used, besides a number of
other things. Iii not every one who will
look we'll in a panama, as the straw is
braided so closely that it looks a little hard
and needs very skillful treatment.
There are many other straw hats of all
shapes, from the fiat leghorn disk to the
alpine and the low crowned FLATS" with
wide, flexible brims. There are fine tusca-
ny braids and a multitude of chips, these
latter as fine and glossy as satin. These are
handsomest trimmed with soft, fluffy feath-
ers or much lace. Whatever it is that
trims them should he light and graceful.
Flowers are always suitable. The dark
! u cornflower and white tulle or crepe
lisse makes an ideal trimming for several,
the arrangement of the trimming differing
for each. Almost every straw hat has a
facing under the brim of lace or forentine
SILK IN some color matching the outside
trimming, though in lighter shade.
one beautiful hat was quickly purchased
by a young lady. 1t had a wide leghorn
brlm turned inward, outward and upward
until 1t was almost impossible to trace the
lnvolutlons. Onthe outside was much black
~chantllly lace and three or four red pop-
pies. There was a shirred tulle facing to
the brim OF poppy red, and the shirring
showed IN a very narrow ruffle just beyond
the edge OF the brim. There was another
very large hat of fine French chip, white
and glossy. 1t was trimmed with large ro-
settles OF black tulle, dotted with Jet, and
two stiff punches of yellow Scotch broom.
Und the brim was a shirring of maize
colored Italian Grape.
There are straw hats with beef eater
crowns-1nfantas, Rob Roys, Dianas and in
fact no end of different shapes. The alpine
and a sort of straw derby and the saucer
shapes are all seen and all pretty. The
Priscilla is a quaint but exceedingly re-
fined shape, peculiarly adapted to demure
and oval faces. The Priscilla is trimmed
plainly with a ribbon knot holding bunch
OF field flowers, or white lilac, or some Other.
flower made dear by home associations.
Algrets, jet, feathers and the metals are all
seen on the hats and bonnets.
l should not forget to mention the check
cred straws for rough wear. These are
called rough and ready and railroad. They
are III black and white straws, braided in a
porcuplne pattern, little rough points stand
ing up all over the surface. These hats re-
quire but a scarf of tissue, black, white or
colored, and a quill or two, or a bunch of
ordinary flowers. Some of the brightest ef-
fects are obtained by setting two quilts just
over the forehead at right angles. This
gives a decidedly bright expression to the
face. The proper adjustment of trimming
on a hat or bonnet may always be made to
add to ones expression and beauty.
After the hats come the new wraps. One
elegant Easter wrap was made of the light
est shade of biscuit cloth, lined with gold
