The summer girl is to have her
trig little sailor hat again.
Like the shirtwaiot, the sailor hat
is neat, convenient and becoming
Therefore, the sailor hat remains,
having taken on, since the last sea-
son of its glory, several identifying
touches
Partisan milliners are by no means
holding the sailor hat in the back
ground, which indicates that it will
be popular very early in the warm
season.
The brims aud crowns are of
medium width and height, and the
braids of which they are made are
very fine and beautiful. Whites,
blues and blacks are the stylish
ones. Browns and both light and
dark shaies of tan and gray show
promise of being we'll liked.
Probably because it is somewhat
of novelty, the sailor hat that
slopes down slightly toward the
front is particularly favored.
There are many mixed strawS. hut
the color is but IA fine trace "
through the white. But the plain
whites and those of solid color will
be most worn, and they are really
the prettiest, for trimmings show
up on them in effective contrast.
Bright bands and bows are used
on the plain hats. A soft shade of
red is especially liked. A royal
blue baud and rOsette look smart on
fine Panama.

The Newest Belts.

Belts are an almost endless sub
Ject, in spite of the fact that the new
gowns do not, as a rule, re quire
them. They are very narrow and
very gorgeous. The narrower they
grow the more Ornately are they
trimmed. Tin5el belts with a pat
tern of flowers in different shades,
or ratherin natural shades running
through them and fancy buckles
which are set with stones OF the
same color are among the novelties
A green tihseI belt, with rose pat
tern running about it, and n buck lie
set with limitation . euieralds, is
among the handsome designs.
The cut 1t belts are still much in
evidence, out are not as popular a.

large gold or silver buckle. When
these plaid or fancy ribbon belts first
appeared they had two small buck

quite wide III the back, rs the rio
bon was always wide, and quite
narrow in front. The latest buckle
for these belts is large" and the clasp
which holds the belt together is not
visible. All eud of the ribbon comes
