pink roses; at the top is a white straw
draped with white net and trimmed with
white roses and a long white ostrich
feather. Below this is a black straw tur-
ban with white straw crown, red roses and
black velvet giving trimming. At the right
the straw was of two shades of red, and
red chiffon and cherries trimmed it.
Shirtwaist hats are much diversified, and
many of them are strong in novelty. Linen
batiste is to be used a good deal them
in the shape of rosettes. The batiste
usually is in the linen color, but the shade
desired to match the dress with which the
hat is to be worn can come in big dots
woven into the batiste and in tiny cords
on the edge A big rosette of the batiste
will form the crown of the hat, and di-
rectly at the center big button covered
with the batiste is placed. Then a wide
rim of straw with fruit or flowers under
meath at back completes the hat. Other
hats for shirtwaist suits are of the fancy
straws of which there is an endless variety.
There are many beautiful Panama weaves.
with others a little more fanciful than the
Panama, more dressy. Many of the new
fancy straws seem to be twists of straw
rather than weaves, and some are so coarse
as to seem like wide strings. Fancy sorts
show straw and velvet or ribbon of the
same width woven together. bangle orna-
ments will be seen a good deal. They
are mostly in black either for black or
colors. and are in all shapes. many of them
very effective, as they catch the light
beautifully. A few danglers are in white
and colors. but most of them are jet, whose
shiny finish makes 1t we'll adapted for the

those unwilling to assume the RESPONSE

violets, roses, forget-me-nots and panses

Distinctly tailor hats are severe. with
trimmings of quilts and fancy straw. Many
are made of one color OF straw trimmed
with another. and for travelling and rough
wear these do very well. but the dressier
ones put them decidedly in the shade.
Often the quilts go straight across the hat,
two OF them being put an inch apart. Oc-
