THAT OUTING HAT.
In It's Best Form II Gives "a Picturesque
Touch to the Toilet.


Touch TO the Toilet.
The favorltlsm shown for the So
called outing hat is a conspicuous
sign of the manifold requirements Of
a woman's summer outfit at the pres
ent day. A few years ago such an
article was almost wholly unnecessary
with many women, but now that golf,
tennis, yachting and bicycle riding
are INDUCED in so freely not only one,
but several Of these hats prove ex-
tremely useful and stylish.
Never before was the outing hat so
truly bewitching as it is now With
this. as with the gowns of the season,
white is the preferred color both in
hat and trimming, although 1t is fire.
quently touched off with some pretty
tint. AS for shapes the sailor again
holds a prominent place, many of the
more fanclful hats being hardly more
than notifications of the sailor. Just
now hats made of diffefNnt varieties
of grass in natural tlnts are much In
request, as are also the English split
straw and Panama braids. An ex-
tremely handsome model sailor hat Of
white English split straw braid has
the edge Of the brim bound with white
galloon and the crown encircled by a
band of black velvet ribbon, termin-
ating in q fiat bow at the left side. A.
heavy plume Of white cog feathers,
fiecked with black, is confined on the
left side Of the brim by a rhinestone
buckle, and sweeps around the brim
in front to within few inches of the
back. Another extremely simple but
unusually picturesque hat to be worn
on the beach is on the sailor order,
having a medium tall crown and wide,
soft brim, slightly dipped in the front.
The only trimming is an inch and a
half band Of black velvet ribbon tied
In n bow directly in the back The
bow has long loops falling below the
brlm Of the hat, while the ends hang
down slightly below the loops to the
wearer's shoulders. This trimming
may be modified by making the
loops short and the long ends alone to
fall over the brlm.
Draperies, quilts, wings and fruit vie
with one another as decoration for
some of the really elaborate shore and
country hats. A dainty fancy in
trimming one of the heavy new grass
braids, of ecru tint, is to twist about
the low crown full drapery Of white
satin mervilleux, polka. dotted in
black, and over this to drape a plume
of white tetras feathers, carrying ii
from the left to the right side.
The shirt waist hat, with its fiat
broad crown, extending out even as
far as the edge of the brim, and its
trimming Of full satin or null, be-
tween crown and brim, remind one
forcibly of great piece Of layer cake
with rich creamy filling. On some
women. however, this is jaunty and
becoming.
The odd device of thrusting the Quill
through the brim Is another feature
OF the styles Of this summer, and
there is absolutely no limit to the fan
tastic angles which the quilts are
thus made to assume.
The white canvas hat with its decor
alton Of white null and white coo
feathers, is of extremely light weight,
and therefore attractive for bicycling,
tennis or other active sports, while
the short brimmed sailor, with simple
band trimming is always in taste on
the water. Walking and mountain
hats, too, are worn in the style which
has the crown indented on top and
sides. These are pretty and appro-
pirate when made in white and orna-
mented with the fashionable coz
feathers-New York Tribune.
