AN ENGLISH WALKING HAT TRIMMED FOR SUMMER.

spring all gone would do we'll to adopt
the streamer style, for it is becoming to
every face. OF course, it car not be worn
with a small hat nor with a severely
plain one; but a large trimmed hat can
always be decorated with strings of tulle
put on in way or another.
The very newest summer craVat
matches the tulle hat trimmings. There
is one which consists of a high point of
black satin which comes up to cover the
bare spot back of the ears. the spot which
can be covered in winter by curls, but
which in umlner are damp and ugly. In
the front of this cravat has a knot of
black silk and two streaners, one Of en-
broidered tulle and one of black satin,
the black satin streamer being trimmed
with a little white embroidery.
There is no time of the year when the
Titles of the toilette are as much appre-
clated as now. Daintiness and freshness
are the Keynote of all good costumes. A
woman cannot do better than provide
herself with cravats of all varieties and
as large as possible. so that she MAY con-
ceal the ravages which the season has
made In the color and texture of her frail
summer dresses.
I saw at the Exposition grounds the
other day in company with Madame Car
not and a number of other aides who
We're invited for a first inspection. a very
attractive English walking hat which had
been made summary by a wonian's de-
vices. All the attraction which had
adorned it during the early part of the
year had been removed and at one side
there stood a big ornament of black vel
vet wired into a delightful openwork pat
tern. The other side of the hat was sim
ply wound with very thin embroidered
muslin which was tied at the back with
a big bow of embroidery. This midsum-
mer hat and the tour de cou must cor
respond. A tour de cou, made of a double
box plait of the new pineapple material.
was secured around the neck with a dog
collar of beaded ribbon. At the front
there was a very large triple puff of the
pineapple material.
The hat was set exactly on one side a
la Lady CurZOn. and was trimmed under
the brim with big unche of flowers.
A unique and pretty feature was intro
duced with the flowers trimmings. Three
narrow pieces of velvet ribbon wera Sc
cured under the hat brim with the low
ers, and were carried under the brim SO
as to mingle with the trimmings of the
hat. The hat itself was trimmed with
fraise velvet. breast shape at the front:
and. from the center of the breast of
velvet, rose a long trailing paradise
plume which fell over the hat in grace

it has become the fashion to make sum
mer cravats for fancy work. One is pur-
chased at the shops, and the others are
made after it..
A decidedly attractive little affair Of
this kind was of fraise linen, which is
the smartest linen, cut into a round stock
and at the front there We're three round
ends edged with the ribbon and secured
with a knot OF the linen in the middle.
The latest way of making the stock
to be the most popular. 1t is
so impossible to make the end meet neat |
ly that he couturiers are making them
in such manner that one slips inside the
other. This demands that one end shall
be narrower than the other. The narrow =,
end is slipped in the open end at the back
and the whole is fastened with a neat lit |
tie stick pin. 1t is altogether the incest
way yet.
OF course you want to know what The |
French fashion LADDERS are wearing. The
Countess Castellane, who is the most
talked about just now made a short trip
to Paris a few days ago dressed in a suit
of dark blue linen which is worn fby the
woman on nothing a year. 1t was lined
throughout with red silk. and was trim
med with bands Of the silk put on to look
like a tunfc.
The waist was an Elton Of blue silk.
opening over a linen blouse. and she wore
q tour de cou of white tuHe. Fancy the
combination of materials in thisc costume:
and note nov impossible they would be
for a woman of less means, although they
might be initiated by leaving out the silk
lining and substituting a linen Elton for
one of silk.
One of the ladies in the Prince of Wales
party which visited Paris a short time
ago wore a very plain gown of crepe
challie. cream colored n figured in
green leaves. 1t had a very simple bloused
waist and the highest of skirts with a
small train at the back. The placket hole
has disappeared, let us hope, forever.
This English woman had her placket Sc
cured with a very handsome cameo as
large around as an American dollar. 1t
was an exquisite thing n might have
been an heirloom.
The belt was very narrow and of the
