ing scarf of fish net or tulle, expect to gain a glossy wealth of hair, not equal perhaps to peasant womans, put certaih to be envied by all their associates. sea bathing has long been an excuse for wise and willy girls for sitting for hours In the sand with hair loosened for Its bath in the sun and air, and the new mania is but an extension of this wholesome idea.
 Of course there are many compromises. The curly head whose hair Is never so pretty as when tossed about in widest con- fusion while she sits her horse or pedals her silent steed or bends to the oars of her boat, has this summer ever more than her usual advantage. The simpler and more careless her coiffure the greater her tr1- umph But she of the straight locks, with whose nursed and cherished "undulations" wind and damp make witchwork, IS also -oanny~ in her day and generation
 Never have so many clever little combs, so many pins surmounted by butterflies or flowers, so many bows of gauge, so many innocent-looking and ornamental but most efficac cious contrivances been seized upon for belaying and making fast refractory trssses. And not for many years, so say the suspicious, has so much borrowed" hair been hisported- as now lends fuffiness to the uncovered head and newly neces- sary bang. But in the disposition of orna- ment or addition no small amount of art is required, for 1t is above all things urgent that the hair shall not appear borrowed or belayed.
 The most successful coiffure for the bare headed girl is a loose pompadour, wide at the sides, with the rest Of the hair dressed in high top knot to which, for the summer hotel piazza, flower. wisp of tulle or a gauzy scarf, half ornament half protection, is attachable
 For the tennis court, the golf links or the woods ramble, there is as yet no prospect of the revival of last summers sun bon nj hut urnT apn oh not fn ha made ridiculous, whether hatless or with whatever variety of hat affected, show not infrequently the long braids of the school girl.
 To an observer it might appear that never has the hair had less need of relief from erings been so light and transparent. so perfectly ventilated. The newest and most tempting toques and wide hats, as the season advances, are nothing more than fimy coils of tulle lightly wound about the head and mixed or not mixed with flowers. Given a light hand, cloud of lace and trife of fine wire and you have the beginning and the end of millinery.
 The shape Is not a matter of conse- quence. The summer girl who is packing for the country is finding room for hats that tip over the eyes and hats that flare away from her face; hats simple. fanciful and even fantistic; hats large and hats re- duced to a rose and strings of tulle.
 Nearly every girl provides herself with one typical "round' toque which is not globular, but Its brim turns up from front to left. and the trimming follows in the wake of the brim This Is a safe, conven- tional hat, preferred for church going. Its trimmings know their places and do not picker for position. It avoids single, prom inent bows, and it sticks as much as pos- sible to one color. It is as pretty as a hat can be in mauve tulle trimmed with vioets but it's effect is more novel in pale green net, turned up at the left just enough to show quantity of very large, velvet petalled pansies.
 For the garden party or the lawn tea is the hat made entirely of flowers or the ''ring-round-a-rosy" hats, where flowers deck the extreme edge of the brim, and are crushed, as if by childish hands, up close to one another, Large irregular tulle or lace straw hats of this descrip- ton arc ugly or attractive, according to the milliner.
