form fall of lace for the summer hat.
The garden hat is one Of the neatly
pretty things of summer 1t is the fat
hat with the big brim and the square
crown This hat Is trimmed around the
crown with a row Of roses. and smaller
roses are spread out until the brim is
almost covered. In among the roses
there are set little knots of black vel
vet ribbon or knots Of white satin. as
the hat may require.
Girls who can wear hats with fiOppy
brims are now In their element for fully
half Of the garden hats are supplied with
wide brims that flop becomingly and
whose shape changes from minute to
minute. These great ioppy brims are
made OF soft wire or OF straw. and are
trimmed with soft trimmings. which
make pretty framework for the face.
A Summer of Roses.
This is certainly to be a summer OF
roses, and more varieties of roses have
bIossomed in the shops of the milliners
than were ever known 10 bloom in the
establishments Of the florists. Roses of
all sizes are used for trimming hats.
and, what is still more 10 be wondered
at, there are roses OF all sizes combined
upon a single stem. Great cabbage roses
dwindle to tiny button roses at the end
OF the stock, and roses that are double
and deep become single and shy. all
within the limits OF the same stem.
They are coloring roses now to match
the hat trimmings, and are matching
the hat trimmings TO the roses. And
that is why you see such chic garlands
| Of roses black as ebony. and roses of
lovely blue nesting in beds Of white
/ lace and blue ribbon.
| Old roses are renovated and are stiff
| ened and colored and used again. If
| they are very shabby a little knot Of
] rose-colored chiffon is set IN the cen
/ ter. and there are knots OF chiffon set
around the rose. Anything TO help out
and make old trimmings look like new.
Expensive, But Tasty.
While It is undoubtedly an extrava-
! CANT summer, IT is just the same a sum
mer Of great possibilities. II you have
old belongings you can renovate them
for il Is summer of patchwork ef-
fects and a tiny bit of lace can be used
TO delightful aims and ends.

Golden brown and pink go elegantly
together, and the woman who has Z
