Itself was simply no size at all, and
1t was made to sit far back on the
head, but the quilted edgings brought
1t UP to quite respectable dimensions.
The front part stood out sharply.
There was a gathered collarette of
the black silk muslin, and all around
1t at intervals were set poppies like
those worn in the hat.
There have been several of these
dainty collarettes shown, some with
red or pink roses in them. Nearly all
the roses now used in millinery are
dark blood red, with somewhat of a
terra Gotta shade. 1 should not be
surprised to see terra Gotta a very
Fashionable color this winter
One very stylish hat was of very
rough sunbUrned straw, the crown in
pagoda shape and the brim tipped
upward in front and bent in scallops
in the back. All around the crown
was a wreath of dark red roses,
with buds and foliage, in a loose
struggling fashion. On the right
side was bow of ribbon with one up
right end of the same color as the
roses. Some straw hats are faced
back with velvet and some are not
faced at all. Velvet facing to hat
is very becoming.
I saw very stylish hat for young
lady. 1t was of dark blue satin
straw in plain circular shape, with
a medium high crown. All around
the edge there was an upright band
of openwork straw lace, which glis-
tened like gold. On both sides Of
the crown were large loops of corn
rolored taffeta ribbon, with a frosty
counter shade. There was another
one outstanding in the back. Buff

combination with dark blue, both

almost a yard from tip to tip, while the

There are a few black and white

The design is about eighteen inches

The black is extremely fine and would
make exquisite dancing dresses; the
white is also chaste and light.
There was a handsome hat with a
rolling brim. It was of a rich chestnut

nearly upright. One blossom was placed
under the brim to fall down over the
hair. The whole effect was extremely
light and dainty. Such is the descrip-
