NIX Hats.


The top is big soft bag of turquoise
leaves Of the rose plant. These leaves
lie all around the crown and are set
in the folds with irregularity, the deep
green of the leaves looking charming
against the turquoise blue Of the crown.
At. one side there is an immense red
rose, as large as the biggest American
Beauty that ever grew. This is a beau
tiful pattern for summer hat and one
that, while picture hat, is not too
striking for street wear.
A round hat with round brim is
trimmed upon the edge with fall OF
ecru lace The top Is trimmed with
the same lace which Is twisted around
the crown and carried up to the back
in big loose fold, where it is hidden
up under agreat bunch of roses.
The trimming of this hat is rather
ODD, as the roses lie at the back, high
upon the coil of lace, while the stems
point toward the front and terminate
upon the brim just over the forehead,
where the roses generally lie.
Ribbon. as hat trimming, has been
supplanted by lace and satin, though
sometimes used in bows and in rosettes
which are so skillfullys made. as to look
like ron pons. The softest effects are
sought and the hard outlines of felt
and straw are avoided.
1t is rumored that the Queen, or her
daughter, the Princess Christian, will
hold a garden party this June and, to
anticipate such an event, several very
smart American women have ordered
l<,< 49, u t-k4.
The Countess of Craven, who looks
like child, though she has been mar
ried since 1898, and must now be fully
twenty-six years old, has a new gown
which is dream in prettiness; sort
of peaches and cream delicacy per-
vades it, but in summer one can stand
a great deal of peaches and cream.
Peach Pink.
The material of the dress looks and
feels like cream colored albatross, with
a narrow silk strip of peach colored
pink, running up and down the skirt
I he drop skirt is of pink silk with a
deep pink chiffon flounce upon the loot
The bodice is of the albatross with the
yoke tucked in such way that none
of the pink silk strip is visible, max
ing a cream colored yoke. The lower
part of the bodice is SO tucked that the
pink silk stripes are only visible.
Around the bust there is tied a fischu
of pink chiffon. The hat that is to be
worn with this is a cream colored straw
with big, soft pink silk crown, and an
abundance of cream and pink roses.
The sleeves of the gown are elbow
length, calling for elbow gloves.
1t is a passing fancy to tuck striped
goods in such a way that the stripes
are visible; and again so that the
stripes do not reveal themselves, SO
that it looks like two materials. Of
course the tucks are no wider than a
straw and lie very close together An
endless amount of handiwork is put
| upon these dresses ana the couturieres
vie with each otner is making each
gown little bit fussier and more elab-
crate than the Others
| Young girls dresses remain plain ex-
cept for the tunic which falls over the
| drop skirt, and the deep ruffles that
are used around the foot. Their bod
| ices are, however, very elaborate, and
are mass of fine tucking and lace
! Lace cloth comes in all materials
| There is silk lace cloth, all open
work and beautifully wrought out; and
there is lace cloth" in null. The
term is applied to any open work ma
terial that comes by the yard.
