to the portion of the straw shape, has
| started the fashion of trimming the
tulle and chiffon hats in a similar
manner.
A dainty picture hat is OF palest
pink chiffon. The ripple brim is COW
cred on both sides with loose folds of
the chiffon, except where close to the
hair there is facing of folds Of soft
Louisine silk in the slightly deeper
shade of pink. The low crown is COW
cred with pale pink rosebuds.
The most picturesque, feature of the
hat are the long, unusually wide
strings of the chiffon. These start at
either side of the brim in the back,
where it narrows off and fits tightly
over the hair, and are not intended to
be tied. When stirred by a passing
breeze they will give to a girlish face
a touch of coquetry hard to resist
The same plan is followed with a
hat of blue chiffon, still using the
pink silk facing and the pink rose
crown. The effect is decidedly French.
A white chiffon hat has a crown of
purplish hyancinths and strings Of
chiffon in the same delicate shade.
Many of the shops are displaying
hats on which satin straw braid alter
mates with tulle puffings or shirred
lace ruffles. These interpretations are
wide-and yet light effect is given.
They are being used for garden party
hats as a change from those or all
tulle. The entire trimming sometimes
consists of a lace scarf, tied loosely
around the brim, with~the ends grace
fully draped in the back.
A hat of this type is intended to be
worn with one of the cool and effec-
tive green and white toilettes. Green

lace ruffies on the wide, slightly
fiounced brim. The fiat crown is en-
tirely covered with the lace rufffes.
The trimming is artistic, closely fol-
lowing the color scheme OF the foun-
dalton of the hat. White and green
grapes are combined with the grace
full leaves and tendrils OF the grape in
wreath-like effect. The fruit imita-
tion is perfect. The trailing grape
vine is a recent addition to foliage
possibilities.
Vines Of all sorts are much sought
after by the milliners this year. They
are absolutely necessary for the crea-
ton of the waterfall effects so much
in vogue.
A white tulle creation is an excel
lent example of this style of garni-
ture. 1t is in the popular scoop shape
and is intended to set well back on
the head. A bandeau, covered with
pale green satin ribbon, fits the hat to
the head. On this are set small rib
bon rosettes in various shades of
green flowers encircling the head. The
upper brim and fiat crown are I'M
trimmed, except for a waterfall Of
green vines. This starts from a line
which runs across the crown and the
vine tendrils trail down the back In
irregular lengths, some of which ex-
tend below the nape Of the neck.
The lingerie hats have taken a new
wrinkle. Some enterprising mllliner
decided that they should be washable
in deed as well as in name. She makes
her simplest hats of embroidery or
lace over a foundation frame of feath-
erboning instead of the usual millinery
wire. They can go through the laun-
dry unscathed.
Her example is being followed. The
summer girl who possesses one OF
these simple hats can always be sure
of having something fresh and dainty.
She can trim II simply with a rose,
pinned on to suit her fancy. She can
vary the flowers from day to day to
match each costume, and produce the
one tone costume effects which Paris
has decreed.
On the elaborate hats the smaller
blossoms seem to be more used. For
get-me-nots in purely Dresden color
ings-pale blue, pink and lavender
lilacs, hyacinths and wistaria are to
be seen on some Of the prettiest
