HATS FOR THE LADIES'
Bewitchfng Shapes and Attractive
COlorfnE Are Noticeable
Features.

Turbans and walking hats are most
attractive this season. The turbanS are
quite small, with the trimming in big
clump directly in front-this almost al
ways of flowers. Black straw turbans
have flowers of any color. while in the
different colOred straws the flowers are
supposed to somewhat match the straw.
violet straw Will be trimmed with
violets, the green straws with gardenlas
and a great many green leaves, and so
ON, while on the brown there are always
yellow flowers. Buttercups are used
on many of these turbans, and can very
easily be arranged in the clump trim
ming. sa
The English walking hat is often a
dainty little hat of plain straw with
some trimming at the back, looking
quite in keeping with the tailor gowns,
but it is also made up in tulle and jet,
and is then trimmed with feathers,
flowers, and bows of ribbon velvet or
tulle, but i! rather too heavy in ap-
pearance to 1ery smart. 1t is a shape
that is generally becoming, especially
with the present style of hair dressing.
By-the-way, it is evident from the new
hats that the hair will probably be worn
low again, for the hats themselves do
not fit well to the heads. If they do not,
they look rather dowdy, and therefore
it is usually necessary to put in little
velvet band to raise them sufficiently
from the head.
The tul1e hats of this season are
shown in the English walking shape as
well as in the turban; there is no shape
in which tulle is not appropriate this
year. They are very bewitching, and
the coloring most attractive; nothing
could be prettier to wear with batiste
and any wash material, or even with
India silk. A pale pink and white that
has just been brought over is a favor
lite model. 1t is made of pink and white
tulle twisted in and out in a very odd
fashion, and is trimmed with pink roses
the roses at the back of the hat, and
also standing up at the side. 1t is very
soft and dainty, and the tulle is so well
held out by the wire frame that it is
likely to retain its freshness for some
time. Tulle is not so perishable ma
terial as chiffon, and consequently will
be safer investment for summer wear.
There are in all the large shops great
many of these tulle hats ready-made,
but they are not always satisfactory.
The tulle is not of the best quality, but
the hats are one-third the expense, and
that is something to recommend them.
The black tulle hats and bonnets are all
relieved by steel or jet trimmings
They have no flowers at all, their
beauty consisting entirely in the shape
and the way in which the trimming is
put on. Those made of white trf1le have
silver and rhinestone ornaments in the
trimming, and look very light and airy
but among the white tulle hats are
many that are trimmed with roses, ap-
pie blossoms. or some of those light
fiowers-light in color as well as in
weight.-Harper's Bazaar.
