SUMMER HATS.
And now for a few words about the
Summer hat Rumors from Paris tell
us that frothy affairs of tulle and ma
line all IN white, with trimmings of
/ yellow centered daisies is their latest
innovation. The all white hat is beiag
worn with gowns of the liveliest coiors
and are now very stylish. With gowns
of pastel shades the black hat, or nat
showing a very decided amount of
black in the trimming is the tkmg.
Severe hats arenot to be worn with the
possible exception of the mannish
plain sailor. Everything else, includ-
ing the sailors themselves, are pompOn
trimmed, wing trimmed, wheat trini-
. med, scarf trimmed with a variety Of
1 silks, velvet and other fabrics, and
been put upon hats in the form Of
and matching the collars complete the
none are left plain. The quill, too, has
disappeared as if in conformance to
the demand of the Audubon Society,
quite as jalinty and effective as any
1 feather Communications that have ever
quilts or cOuteaux.
Quite a feature in the styles in hats
is the little low round derby-like
crown which takes precedent over all
the higher crowns and is very much
and We now have quills, wings and
leaf-like affairs made Of straw braid
and gauzc which are stiff, durable and
used. Leghorn hats with their plia-
bic, graceful brims and low crowns, are
extremely stylish.
The walking hat shapes with close
rolled brims are quite as popular as
the broader and newer shapes. There
are also many sailor effects of the short
} back variety, with the slanting crowns
: starting low at the back and slanting
7 up in the front, trimmed with choux
= and pompons Of velvet, maline nous
seine and other fabrics, and relieved
p with stiff punches Of wheat. These are
2 exceedingly stylish and singularly TAX
] ing in effect.
Z The vogue Of these ideas is gaining
} strength every day, and great quanti-
/, ties are being sold which shows q de-
: cided return to a highly feminine class
of Summer headwear rather than the
severer forms favored during the last
J two years. There is little of the
e "rOugh-rider" in the new goods and the
t soft felt hats are gone. However, the

] rough-rider, is seen in the sOftest. mos
