New York June 9-This Is the Leghorn
hat season, and if any woman feels inclined
10 display her possibilities of personal pic
turesqueness now is her time to put her
artistic foot foremost. Given muslin
frock and cream white leghorn of the
moments manufacture and the witch OF
Endor herself could hardly help making
pleasing appearance.
The smart leghorns are rather lofty of
crown with less ioppy brims than former
~ and their color is that OF the best Jer-
sey cream. Any woman who knows the A,
b. c, OF dress can get up her own leghorn
poems and some roses, tulle or lace some
tufts of grain and sometimes little black
velvet ribbon are all the ingredients neces-

Most milliners face the zip edge of their
leghorn velvet and then the rear of the
brim is pushed up fiat against the crown
and made fast by an ample cushion Of pink
roses. Then, TO be strictly orthodox, a scarf
of silk muslin. edged with cream lace. is
flung about the crown and knotted elabor-
ately at some point with double handful
of wheat, rye or oats. With a serene dis
regard of nature s laws, but a plausible
conviction as to what Is suitable In hat
architecture, the manufacturers have put
forth a fine crop of lilac tinted wheat.

rye russell as autumn leaves.
All leghorn Celebrations are worked at
coquettish angles on the head and a good

of liberty silk or even the sheerest Swiss
into which black or white lace figures
have been inserted The very ideally pas
toral head piece, however, is the green or
golden basket straw, which is neither faced
nor trimmed with any material save only
flowers, and the girl who gives her COM
plexion freely to the sun and winds has
got a very dashing soll of tout allie in

Whimsical Wraps.
With the Arcadian leghorns the whImsi-
cally pretty summer wraps and parasols
artfully demand association. 1t goes with
out very profound explanation that these
airy over things are purely for beautys
sake. Some of them are heel long circu-
lar capes Of back net sprinkled with cIus-
ters of brightly winlSing black sequins.
in designs OF most meritorious pattern, and
the lovely robe is mounted on a white or
tinted chiffon basis. then fully edged with
an abundant hounce of black intricate
frilled ribbon pattern and chanully or fin
est esprit garnished with CLEANS of Jet
These studies in jet and net are worn
chiefly over frou frou white frocks and
then the wearer of so much fragile beauty
carries open at her shoulder, in nine occa-
sions out of ten, a sun shade of chiffon
covered with an overlap of what the
French describe as bouilloune of the same
soft goods embroidered In spangled or
black ribbon figurings.
The most covetab.e carriage and lawn
parasos have their partitions of covering
cut in very deep godet points at the bot
tom so that when opened the possessor
appears to have a huge airy star as a
background for head and shoulders An
other very popular shape is the parasol
with exactly four ribs, thus practically
producing a square or diamond shaped
canopy, and handles are decorated to a
degree
A huge rosette of chiffon and loops OF
white bebe ribbon fastens usually like a
big white rose about che long white wood
stan and then from this floats. with airy

Vious purpose in existing, a scarf of chif-

other phase of decoration is the close
wrapping of a stick handle in two shades
of satin ribbon, the ribbon drawn so tight
ly round and round the stick that not
scrap OF wood shows. At the end of the
handle the streamers tie in a long. elabor-
ate bow. From Paris arrive sun shades
having handles covered with velvet and
then steel beading is applied on the mauve
turquoise or Spanish yellow surface.
