FIVE SMART sUMMER HATS OF bENDIL's CREATION

decorative that little s~uperimposed orna-
mentation is required.
For example, a wonderful big, broad pic
ture hat seen at this same museum OF mil
linery marvels was constructed, not OF
straw, but of the most charming infinitely
figured pompadour ribbon. On the outside
Of this crown at exactly the right point a
fat rosette Of tiny red pompadour roses,
wreathed in their own green foliage, was
set; Just under che brim appeared its coun-
terpart, while a broad tailed bow Of black
MORE ribbon fell we'll down on the shoul-
ders from the rear caves, and yet, with
these scant touches the hat was from every
standpoint complete.
CIOthes Gardens.
The millIners having undoubtedly set the
pace for color, the dressmakers, the silk
manufacturers and those modest ~geniuses
who turn out shirt waists and p~arasols
have fallen obediently Into line. The shops
look more than ever like old-fashioned
gardens, a tumble OF bold, delightful color,
than ever. The shirtwaists are positively
Kaleidoscope, with dashing neckties Of con-
trasting color, and the smart idea In car
riage and country parasols In white, green
or blue ~taffeta, decorated with gay nose
gays or big cabbage roses as generously
sprinkled inside as outside the silken
dome. There used to be q sober, useful
sort of sunshade made OF brown pongee
lined with green, but his season examples
Of that type are hard to find; the pongee
parasol is gaily delight with red. yellow
or green polka dots, or its surface Is pref
tily embroidered In coiors.
Smart chinz sunshades are to the fore,
displaying as many colors as Joseph's
famous coat, and quite rs gay and impor-
tant as those of fouiard trimmed with lace.
Easter F1nery.
Tucked Swiss muslin p~arasols called
esuidittias, with muffs Of chiffon are to be
carried by the Easter bridesmaids and
numbers Of bridal trains Of girls will be
ntly robed In foulard garnlshed with both
lace and tucked Swiss muslin. A very
clear idea of the foulard clad attendant
can be gained from the sketch of a pretty
blue and white frock. The body Of the
dress is clear Canton blu and white
foulard set OF with q sash and embroidered
bands OF darker hawthorne blu panne.
The skirts deep 1ounce and q tucked band
set in between two lace borders are Of
cream white Swiss muslin. The lace so
lavishly used il a charming imitation Of
Louis XIV Valenciennes. which Is deeply
cream In tint and a tride coarser than the
sort we make nowadays.
Cream white, rose white, oyster white and
old ivory white cloth are all accepted as
the very smartest possible foundations on
which to build the most formal and elegant
spring toilets. The tailora are turning out
what hey call white suede or leather cloth
carriage coats and at every luncheon, we'd

coaches and on the automobile brakes the
fashionable women are dressed in white
cloth with three-quarter coats Of white
suede sulting and rose wreath white lace
hats, lace, jeweled buttons, stitched satin
straps, Jokes, vests and undersleeves of
tucked white silk muslin.

The washable iannels that are spread
so plentitully on many counters seem t.

mothers of young daughters. These womer
