the face, is made Of dull green crepe roses
Two huge velvet gardenias. prof1igate with
foliage, are placed at the left side.
Another hat has queerly pointed, up
standing brim, covered with tiny white
field flowers. An edge Of fancy straw, APP
pearing above this. is in a cool green, and
at the left CT the fiat crown, which Is COW
cred with white lace, is single large
white rose. With this hat-and with many
others-loops of black velvet make be-
coming fall at the left side. They are put
under the brim, and sewed inside the crown
as rear falls are sewed.
Gainsborough Styles.
Some of the large shapes in which the
summer girl will go forth to slay hearts
and gather tan are delightfully."- picturesque.
Gainsborough styles abound, but the high.
stiff crown of the Georgian period is super
seeded by very fiat one which modern
beauty finds much more becoming. The
Gainsborough dash of these hats is accom-
plished at the left side, where masses Of
flowers, leaves or lace are put under the
brim. The outside shows long, dropping
feathers in combinations of white and color
pale blue generally-and loops of velvet
and lace.
Ribbon is rarely put on the dressier straw
hats though some swagger little structures
of net and lace, in turban shape, will be
trimmed with it. The ribbons used are al
ways of the thinnest weave, dull finished.
Louisines predominant over more preten-
tious qualities. The bows and rosettes
have crushed flower look. The ends, cut
in fish tail, are likewise mashed over in
folds.
Such hats as come under the head of
"ready-to-wear" are miracles of cheap
ness, and, though destined for shirt waist
use, many are extremely elegant in effect.
A very crackly thin straw is used for
number of these, whose shapes take all the
brim-hat turban lines of the season.
With brim models in white, black wings,
sewed fatty at the front of the low crown,
and black velvet ends at the back form
simple and stylish garniture, useful for both
plain and dressy toilet. Other accom-
modating, feady-to-wear hats for dressier
service are made of killed mousseline
and many varieties of new straw,
which need only a scrap of additional TRIM
ming and often none at all. Some of these
are also in the gayest colorS-scarlet, pale
blue, green and dull red. But the all-white
hat, which is now seen in more airy and
dazzling materials than ever, is still con-
sidered the most practical and stylish thing
for dressy wear.
A few of the tulle and net turbans are
covered with silver embroideries the wide
braids of which almost dazzle the eye with
their glitter. Silver grapes ornamented
such turban seen in smart miliiners
window, and about the edge of 1t was
draped a white lace veil with silver edge.
This looks If Wes are to be gayer in
the matter Of wells, though as yet those for
ordinary wear are still of black and white
malines net. The lace wells, with their
ornamental borders, are certainly prett1er,
but the malines and tulle nets have the
! recommendation Of cheapness. Quite a be-
coming mesh can be had now for 25 cents
the yard, and since the eccentric Du Barry
designs have been shelved fewer women
go by with the look of SCARED warriors
No Readys Will Do.
When 1t comes to the headpiece Of the
elderly woman, and that of the child or
young girl. 1t Is quite plain that the ready
to-wear counter holds little for them. The
bonnet for turning hair and the hat for
the locks of youth must be definitely, even
