called the twin fCatner trimming. II IS
one Of the novelties OF the summer. For
this you need a ready-to-wear hat or a
hat of fancy straw. which needs no
other trimming than a feather. This
hat which should be jauntily shaped. is
large, and the brim curls upward in A
sweeping manner. while one side rises
splendidly in a great curve.
Now. TO grim the hat. take two feath-
ers of exc city the same length. which
should be about half a yard long. and
sew them to the hat. in precisely me
same spot. Then take and drape the
feathers in such manner that one
falls down the back Of the hat upon
the coiTure and the other is pulled
down at the side so as TO touch the
ear and the neck. These two feath-
ers. sweeping over the hat give it just
the right amount of chic.
The popularity of the uncurled feather
is a boon to the summer woman who
has hitherto had trouble in keepirs her
self curled. No matter how strai~rt the
feather may be this season it win not
be out Of style, for Dame Fashion IS
wearing hers uncurled as well as curled.

made Of hlmy laces. Of yards Of chiffon.
Of the finest silvery tulle. or the deli

becoming to the complexion and so at
tractive to feminine eyes.

| destroyed. You cannot wet it with sea
| spray nor moisten IL with dew. And
/ you cannot neglect II. 1t is one Of those
hats that require perpetual care. You
must keep the roses fresh and bright
! and the lace clean. or it will not be q
success. Its very attractiveness is due
to it's crispiness. a lingerie hat that Is
mussed is worse than 70 hat at all.

A Fifth Avenue milliner is taking all
the old white chip hats that are brought
in to her and is cleaning them. She
then trims the top with a little scarf
of lace into which she sets a garland OF
pink roses She then Grapes the brin
