The Summer Couture.


The summer girl is hatless.
It is also true that the summer hat
is alluring.
The fad of going bareheaded is car
ried to all lengths, from the mild meas
ure of hanging the hat within conven-
lent reach on the handle bars of a BIZ
cycle to the more heroic one of golfing
or playing crOQuet for hours without
head-covering.
The girls who are seen on the broad
lawns of the beautiful country of Long
Island or even driving through the
woods of that pleasant rolling country,
protected at most by a parasol or a
blowing scarf Of fish net or tulle, expect
TO gain glossy wealth of hair, not
equal perhaps to peasant wOman's,
but certain to be envied by all their
associates. Sea bathing has long been
an excuse with wise and willy girls for
sitting for hours in the sand with hair
loOsened for its bath in sun and air
and the new mania is but an extension
of this wholesome idea.
OF course there are many cOmpro-
misses. The curly head whose hair is
never so pretty as when tossed about
in widest confusion, while she sits her
horse or pedals her silent steed or bends
to the oars Of her boat, has this sum-
mer even more than her usual advan-
tage- The simpler and more careless
couture the greater her triumph. But
she of the straight locks, with whose
wind and damp makes witchwork, is
also canny in her day and generation.

so many pins surmounted by butterflies
or flowers, so many bows Of gauze, so
