Midsummer hats, like those for wear
earlier during the heated period, show
decided tendency to fatness, and
especially for the back of the hat. BY
this | would not say that the fat hat
is the only fashionable 'ohe, for that
would be by no means true. The fact
is that it is a much easier ma tier to be
in style than out of Style this summer,
the variety is so great from which one
may safely choose. About all Dame
Fa shion demands is attractivenes and
becomingness, it matters but little by
what process, or through what medium
it is procured. So it is that the woman
who de sires it may weareither the low,
high or medium crowned hat and not
be out of style. In these low hats the
front is lifted away from the face in
such fashion as to form an encircling
frame, which is, in nearly every case,
vastly becoming, and shows:off to best
advantage the most favored form of
coiffure. ''.a
I: Che simplest and most expensive hat
both have certain ineNplicable chic
and charm which make them dis
tinctive and desirable.
One of the new hats that found in
my days study of the subject was
quite novelty, in which flowers had
been banished as trimming in favor
of birds. The birds are of the spotless-
~ white variety, whose wings are out
spread over a fiat crown, and with the
heads peering out over the frontof the
brim. The crown and brim are fash
ioned of the finest white lawn, en-
broidered into lacelike design, and
there is narrow lace around the brim,
and fine straw in vandykes encircling
the background of lawn. a scarf of
white mousseline drawn through the
brim and looped into soft foam above
a bandeau of black velvet. The ends
at the back are finished with embroid-
cred lawn. .,. t...
A simpler and less expensive hat is
of the three-cornered variety made of
fine Holland. There are encircling
bands of white straw, piped with pale
brown holland, on the under brim,
with loops of black velvet ribbon and
rosettes of white and pale b,ue silk at
one side of the upturned brim. Large
rosettes of black velvet ribbon, with
two fancy quil,s on the crown.
A picture hat that is fascinating is
of white leghorn, with band of black
velvet around the crown, and long
loops at the back. Covering the brim
are large pink roses, with few ma
tural leaves here and there.
The Gainsborough is running we'll
through the midsummer season. A
most striking model of this kind is of
black mousseline de sole, tilted high
at the left side, with three ostrich
feathers dropping over. Soft folds of
white mousseline de sole resting on
the hair. Sweeping over the crown is
a long black ostrich feather, with cas-
cade of black French lace.
"A very decided novelty is of deep yell
low straw. 1t is tilted high in front,
! with n white shirred chiffon, finished
with rows of wee black velvet aby rib
bon, Large rosette of black velvet,
with yellow velvet center. This is at
one side, with several of the same on
the crown, and with long sweeping
black plume falling toward the front.
A creation that is designated the
."sblouse hat" land which is intended to
be Worn. with morning blouse, is of
a sky-blue straw, having tiny tuscan
cords to trim, and two shades of blue

with long steel buckle. go.
i have mentioned the popularity of
| foulards many times during the
spring and summer, and this popular
ity continues. Every woman has one
or more charming foulard gowns. The
shades of the season show EXCEPTIONAL
ly well in this material.
Black and white and gray and all
shades of heliotrope come out excel
lently in foulard. Then it is so light
in weight, so supple for the swirling
fiounces of Phe nome MT, and in the sat
ih-iuccu variety, WulcH is really the
only wear, it is so bright and gay of
surface no matter what its tone may
be. that it is no wonder that this com
bination ofadyantages makes it highly
| appreciated. Any quantity of lace is
pu; upon foulard and it is arranged
in all imaginable ways.
A satin-faced foulard with run
ming design of leaves in shades of gray
had black lace Laid across and across
J from waist to hem so as to form large
diamond shapes. These were contin-
ued on the bodice to a yoke and chem
isette of white plated muslin trimmed
with. white yaienciennes.
A white ground bearing pattern in
black and heliotrope zigzags had
deep flounce, which was itself tucked
downwards for some six inches all
round, so as to give the necessary full
lness round the feet; band of coarse
lace laid over heliotrope peau de sole
