this does not embrace the money eX-

STRAW HATS IN THE LEAD,
Light Effects I'm Millinery Succeed the
GorgcOusness of the Spring.

GOrRcOusness OF the spring.
In general appearance the latest
summer millinery is much less fantastic
in character and coloring than twas in
the early spring, now that white and
yellow straw hats have the lead, and
white wings, white lilacs and dainty
chiffon are the favorite trimmings.
Light transparent effects are sought
after in millinery as in all other de-
partments of dress. and Neapolitan
and zephyr braids are the prettiest Of
all But there are all sorts of fancy
braids, and then the old-fashioned leg
horns trimmed lavishly with white
feathers are worn again, with pale ecru
Panamas trimmed with various flow
ers. tulle, and wings bringing up the
end of the line. Black hats are quite
rs much worn as ever, but the straws
in vivid greens. brilliant reds and gor-
geous puppies worn early in the season
look out of place with the dainty light
gowns.
One of the special features of the
summer millinery is that the hats
should be in one line of color with as
much white as may suit the fancy. TIE
motley combinations of two months
ago have worn out their popularity.
Turquoise blue or yellow chiffon, with
white wingsand white lilacs, on a white
Neapolitan hat makes about the
daintiest headgear woman can wear.
White corn flowers with blue centeTs
and blue forget-me-nots are very pop
lflar lust at the moment. One rather
striking leghorn hat has wreath of
green oats. a bow of green antique
( satin ribbon. and two black ostrich
! feathers standing up on one side.
White chiffon and tulle hats. with white

it was high time she asserted herself.
