WHAT WOMEN TALK AND THINK ABOUT
THE FASHIONABLE GIRL MUST HAVE PICTURE HATS


Perhaps it is not the hat that makes
the girl, but the summer girl knows that
she owes much to her hat. The fashion
able girl of to-day requires a whole col
lection Of hats for her summer campaign.
Her hats must harmonic with her
gowns and suit the occasion. The .irap-
propriate hat. the hat which is out OF
place at a. certain function, plainly tells
the story that Its wearer is not the fash
ionable young woman that she pretends to
be.
Tho she must have in her collection Of
hats for vacation time wear many which
are OF the tailor-made ready -to-wear
sort. suitable to wear with her shirt-waist
suits and her athletic costumes, yet it is
the picture hat she will need in the great
est variety. It is the picture hat she viii
wear before she leaves town, driving in
the park In the afternoon, and at the roof
garden In the evening, and later when she
has left the hot city behind her and is in
the country, at the sea or in the noun
tains, it is the big, dashing picture hat
she will wear. when she wishes to look her
most effective.
In these picturesque hats, flowers and
District plumes are the favorite trimmings
The cavalier, Gainsborough and the shep-
herdess shapes are all favorite models.
The all-white hat, with just touch Of
color under the brin, Is specially in
vogue. Many of these hats show the con-
splcuously high crowns and one long
sweeping ostrich plume as their only
trimming It is the way this ostrich
plume is arranged that gives the hat its
distinctive touch Of style. Once upon 8,
time there was little variation in the way
feather trimmed a hat, while to-day 1t
almost seems as If no two feathers were
arranged alike. Many of the picture hats
snow very effective underbrim trimmings.
sometimes the brim is a mass of folds OF
foamy tulle. appliqued with lace designs,
which not infrequently are hand painted.
and then again a wreath Of flowers may
trim the tulle. For example, a hat Of
faint sea-green malines, recently imported
was trimmed with one sweeping sea green
ostrich plume. The front of the farins
brin was g, mass Of the green tulle while
tucked IN close to the hair at the left side
was a wreath of pink roses filed in with
blue forget-me -nots. The effect was odd
and decidedly pretty
Inc black hat, which fits in close to the
hair at the back, but flares in pronounced
way IN front, is a favorite model. The
crown is either covered by. a cluster OF
ostrich tips: Of by a mass Of full blown
silk petaled roses. A new idea is to have
coming out from the side Of the crown q
full feathery aigrette.
Another fashionable millinery fancy is
to trim one of the large picture shapes
with two kinds Of flowers An odd ia shion
Is to introduce a touch Of black in a very
light picture hat by the flowers. A white
chip picture hat, which shows the brin1
dropping in front, but haring we'll at the
left side, is trimmed with pink roses
straight across the hat. and following. sin
the same line as the roses are black velvet
daisies This hat is one Of the most strlk-
ing models Of the season Sometimes a
touch Of black Is introduced by merely
one big black rose, or by small black
ostrich tip, which is quite as apt to be in
troduced in a hat of white roses and green
