MIDSUMMER MILLINERY.
Color Combinations Forecast Fall
Models in Hats.

Millinary Trade Review.
Many of the new creations prepared for
the midsummer and holiday seasons con-
tain valuable hints for the future, more
especially as regards colors and trimmings.

doubtedly they are prepared to advocate
bright schemes OF coloring, and even dar-
ing flights in the way of contrasts. These
will not only be managed by the combina-
ton of materials, but also in the combi-
nation of the trimmings themselves-tex-
tiles woven of two or more coIors and
plumage exhibiting a contrast of tones.

colors rather than white, and il is quite
unusual to find dark blue and metallic
shades of green to the fore before mid

combination strikes the keynote Of the
situation.
The recent productions in which green
and blue are mingled show a decided i'm
pTovement on those of an earlier date
Moreover, our eyes are getting accustomed
to the combination, so that what promised
at first to be but a passing fancy has every
chance of being maintained in fashion
next season. Moreover, milliners are not
confining themselves absolutely TO the
green and blue, but are introducing small
amount of some other color, such as a
slight amount of black or white, or little
touches OF red and yellow. Thus modified
