sons. Such hat is charming in its sim
plicity- The shape was that OF a fiat
garden hat with the top trimmed with
geraniums
Another was trimmed with forget-me-
nots spread out to Look like a big blue
mat.
The top trimming is something which
cannot be ignored. One hat mad n TOP
trimmed with wreaths OF button roses.
They were small and were connected
With little green leaves. The whole top
was wreathed in them. no less than six
chains Of roses going around the hat.
The bTim was also trimmed with them
ana little chains of the roses hung down
the back. The back trimming is verv
important and few hats are finished
without Il.
Flower Tipped Hats.
Another hat Of this variety. this one
trimmed with dotted lawn. with hem
med frll OF dotted lawn hanging around
the face. was decorated with handsome
big red trumpet flowers They stood at
the side In rich prOfusicn and long trail
ing ends Of them hung down the back
The back trimming is very important
and few hats are finished without it.
A certain girl whose hats are always
charming took a breadth of faintest pirI,
lawn. This she embroidered with white
daisies. She then covered the top Of a
wire frame with it, bending the frame
to make q little 30 Peep hat wide IN
the brim, With round crown. She Dor
dered the brim with fall Of lace. And
around the crown she set dainty chain.
the sweetest. longest chain with long
strings Of daisies falling down at the
back. This daisy chain. which was a
yard long. was the feature Of the hat
Each daisy set out sharply and the
flowers 10 tiny ones.
Another Style.
Then still another washable hat must
be mentioned. This one was made of the
very finest white linen. The piece was
circular and was beautifully done by
hand in English embroidery, which is all
eyelct holes. This was laid over the top
Of the hat in such a manner that a frill
fell around the fece. This frill was bor-
dcred with Valenciennes.
Hats are trimmed Nth many rows OF
Valenclennes lace Row after row Of the
lace is put on, until the whole brin IS
covered. The lace is not more than half
an inch wide and is sewed upon one edge
only leaving the other end loose. This
makes a series Of pretty fluffy frills.
Another lace trimmed hat which is roc
commended to an. amateur IS made with
wire founcaticn. This wire frame, or
foundation, is bent to 1T the head. 1t
can be shaped high in the crown and
wide IN the brlm. or 1.-THE crown can be
bent low and round. ard the brim sloped
slightly At one side.
No matter how the hat is shaped Il
is a good thing TO cover it first with
maline. or with chiffon. or with some
other thin STUFF which can answer as a
foundation. Silk mousseline is very
pretty for this purpose.
It is an art to apply lace properly.
Row after row of il is put on, one row
overlapping the other until the rows
are six or eight deep The crown and
the brim can both be treated in this
manner until the whole hat as trimmed.
Nothing is now needed except an ostrich
feather which can be draped at one
side so as 20 fan over the brim Of the
hat
Pretty Lingerie Hats.
The washable hat, while mostly in
white. is also made in pale blue lawn
and in pale pink. The Old-fashioned
Normandie crown is worn and tlsere
are lawn hats that are In a shade OF
buff with a little hand embroidery in
white A bit OF ones thin shirt waist
suit will furnish material for the hat
which can be quickly and easily put
together by hand. Nothing in addition
is needed except a feather or a wreath
of tiny button roses.
The smart girl. If she be very smart.
Will drape her hat with strip OF en-
brOidered lawn in white. or pale blue,
and win make for herself n fichu in the
same material This she viii also en-
broider. She will trim the hat with
pink roses and win drape the fchu
around her shoulders and fastcn II upon
the breast with q big old-fashioned
cameo jewelry and will wind strings OF
pink beads around her throat
Subject of Hats.
But 10 return to the subject OF hats,
