was at the opening of Venice at
the Madison Square Garden the other
night, and 1t was quite noticeable how
very many Of the all white suits there
were and what care and expense had
been bestowed upon them. Twilled
flannel and fine serge were among the
prettiest. These had the skirts made
with two and sometimes three insets
Of lace above the hem. This gave
them deliciously cool appearance
quite disassociated with the idea Of
any kind of wooden material. There
was generally waist of thin silk, al
ways white, and the belt even was
white. Cream and ivory tints were Of
tener seen than pure mat white.
The short Monte Carlo coats were
generally thirty inches long and were
treated just like the skirts around the
bottom, and the sleeves had the insets
of insertion when made loose and
open and were ornamented according
to taste when made with the puffed
lower parts now SO much liked. But
for the credit of common sense let ii
be ~said that the most of them were
open. in bell shape.
I must speak Of the novel hats worn
with the white tailor suits. These
were of very coarse straw. sometimes
of bamboo splits, and white or cream
on one side and black, brown, red or
dark blue on the underside. Some
were SO woven that the wide braid
forms bold plaids, and others We're like
fish scales. Some had the brinls made
80 that they are turned backward or
forward or up at one side or Tapped so
that part of the brim stands upward
or forward and the other droops down
ward. Sailors with very fiat crowns
and with the appearance of being set
on sidewise were also seen. The paint
brush aigret, the ribbon or veil trim
ming or a bunch of flowers or fruit
and sometimes q whole lot of little
brown shaded wings were seen lying
carelessly on the fiat hat. But the
fact remains that the rough, coarse
straw hats In these curious styles are
all the vogue just now.
But just as there were costly gowns
there there were also many beautiful
and delicately fashioned hats. One
dainty creation was of white shirredH
tulie, with the edge of the brim gar
nished with fine ruching of tulle at
the very edge. Under the edge Of the
brim there was a row of tinyp pink roses
and foliage all around. On the crown
and dropping to the back was bunch

OF tiny buds and flexible stems, min
gled with d little fine point lace. This
was SO light and dainty in effect that
its immense size was forgotten.
One hat In white leghorn had a
wreath Of pink and white hyacinths
arranged SO that the flowers looked
Ike large dropping piumes. One half
OF the wreath was OF white blossoms
and the other of the pink ones, and
here the two colors Joined in front,
one being raised higher than the other

these wreaths curied around under

Another very becoming hat was
worn by brunette. and this was all

ton. The trimming consisted of a
double row Of tea roses without
foliage This extended entirely around
the brim, and In the back the brim
was much narrower than in front. and
there was bunch OF loops of the mar
roWest black velvet ribbon, intermin-
gled with buds and few very small
and immature leaves on long. flexible
stems Other hats were trimmed in
much the same way with forgefme-
nots and Parma violets.
