It makes no difference how many pretty
hats a girl may have at tie beginning of
the season, she finds one lacking when she
starts upon the round of outdoor sports
connected with her vacation Jaunt. A light,
airy hat which can be whirled upon nearby
benches or thrust carelessly beneath one
arm and still look girlish and summary is
absolutely essential to the fair vacationist.
1t is not too late to make one.
At country stores she will be able to pick
up inexpensive frames and machine en-
broidery from which she can evolve with
very few stitches this much-needed head
gear. Or If she Is just starting out on her
trip, some leftover pieces of thin sum-
mer frock, together with a white wire
frame, may be tucked into stray corner
Of her trunk and be made up when she
reaches her destination in one of the fol-
lowing ways:
Pieces from delicately Powered or
candle or dimity dress may be used to
great advantage on a light, broad brimmed
frame, resembling a sailor Two or three
thicknesseS of white maline, shirred or
plain, are tackled lightly to the wire and
finish the under side of the brim. double
circular piece OF the organdie is then
shirred tightly together in the center,
where it is covered by a fat button mold
ONeTldlO WITH d mower design OF the organ
die. The shirring is then fastened to the
middle of the wire crown and the remainder
of the circular piece shrred at intervals
of an inch, until 1t reaches the edge of the
crown. Here it is tackled and brought down
around the sides to meet the inside circle
of the brim.
The Edge Finish.
Character Is given to the nat by three
circular pieces of organdie, cut to fit the
brir uvfth 90 t,ot
half on the outer rim. To finish these
or+er edges the organdie is rolled over a
pencil three times, turning in half an inch
at each roll and lacking them down very
lightly wit hthe finest cotton.
When the pencil has completed the circuit
of the hens 1t leaves three fluffy, bolster
like edges, and the circles of organdie are
attached at the lower rim of the width of
the hem behind the one below 1t. Black
velvet ribbon in the form of a long Asa
tan bow. or a black velvet buckle directly
at the front of the crown, gives the hat
just the correct finish.
lnexpressibly charming and easy to make
Is a hat of fine white carleton or MULE
fashioned on wire frame of similar sailor
shape. The material is applied to the
crown and brim in full shirrings with quar-
ter-nch headings. Two shirrings come
within a third of an inch of each other, and
have an intervening space of an inch, fol-
lowed by two more shirrings full shir-
either edge surrounds the sides of the
crown, while at the front are nestled Il
row of carleton peonies. These are easily
made from a double fold of the material
tightly gathered at one end and shaped in
the hollow of the hand.
The girl who prefers machine-made en-
broidery or edging to the fluffler materials
can shape 1t quite as easily to tulle-cov-
cred frame. Frills are not in keeping with
the embroidered lingerie hat, so eyelet work
of any kind is applied perfectly plain with
out shirrs or tucks. However, If the hat is
intended for wear with diaphanous after
noon gown rather than a tailored Lrock,
gatherings of Valenciennes lace may peep
from beneath embroidered or escalloped
edges.
For the girl to whom 1t is becoming a
most fetching lingerie hat Is a Queen Anne
roof poke bonnet Eyelet work or fine
lawn car Re applied to this shapely wire
frame readily to the sailor shape
Artificial flowers or ruchings of lawn fill
in the peak and a charming finish Is a bow
of narrow ribbon stiffly wired into zigzag
loops laid over the top of the bonnet.
