Against this was line of clover blossoms,
with leaves and long stems, which COM
pletely enciroled the hat. There was an
alternate spray of white clover slightly
tinged with pink and one of purple, and
they stood up at least ten inches. Bluets
were massed upon another hat in quite as
lavish profusion. Roses appear to be cut
from the parent bush and are stood up
right and left to nod in the breeze.
The lace straw hats are very fanciful in
shape and also in ornamentation. One of
black lace straw had dots and edge of nat
ural straw color, looking like gold. On
the crown, or place where one ought to be,
were four large pink roses. There was
stiff wire wound with changeable silk in
blue and yellow. This had two twisted
rosettes on it and large ostrich tip curl
ing over toward the back. Numbers of
pretty pompons are seen, particularly on
children's hats and evening bonnets. A
Tam v Shanter was made of lavender col
ored straw and dented in like woolen
one. On the left side was rosette bow
of green velvet, with silver buckle and
three pheasant quilts above. The band
was of green velvet.
The toques are especially pretty. They
are mado of almost everything, but those
best liked are made of very coarse black
or dark brown or green braid, with loops
and bows made Of the same. A pair Of
black wings and perhaps some velvet flow
ers or close rosettes to match the color are
added The bolero hat Is pretty and gen.
orally becoming. This has the brim turn
ed up like those worn by the bullfghters,
and the crown is covered with flowers. A
black straw has apple blossoms or some
large flowers are quite as popular In their
place. Violets in masses and pink roses are
put together. Pansies in all their marvel
0us beauty and variety are massed In
wreaths, and, In fact, almost all flowers
are proper.
saw one hat with a crown ten inches
high and made still higher with ruffie of
straw. On the brim was fat little bunch
of arbutus. On the other side of the brim
there were four immense ostrich tips with
extra large dues and of the glossiest black.
The straw was of rich golden yellow, OF,
as 1t is called, "sunburned. A dainty lit
tie bonnet was made of row Of upright
tan straw braid bent in flutes. There was
no crown, save what was made by a bunch
of purple wistaria. A cluster of loops OF
tan ribbon was set at the back. There
were strings to this bonnet. l might go
on all day and yet never finish with the
recital of all the beauties and novelties In
the new millinery. There IL everything,
suited to every body. One thing OF special
utility is that one can purchase set bows,
tufts or other arranged garnitures, and all
that one has to do Is to sew them to the
foundation to have a stylish hat.
