of style by the ultra smart, And for

and long tucked breadths below, and
| are finished with handsome heavy
lace of the same ecru color covering
the upper portion in bolero form and
| black stitching. Some are quite plain,
with the stitching and tucks for trim

The strictly severe sailor hat is not
very much in favor this season, and
IL we had always followed French
taste in this particular, 1t never
would have fiourished to any such ex-
tent as IL has. II is suitable only for
young girls, decked in outing garb,
but il has been and is still worn by
women who have passed the four cor
ners of life. However. there is a sub
stitute for this hat almost as variable
in shape and trimming as the faces
which il shadows. There is the sail
