Never were bonnets and hats more
picturesque than at the present, and
are just suited to the demure little
faces of the wearers. There is the
granny, which comes in straws as
well as in lingerie, and is a grand
mother affair modified to suit baby.
The granny is made of white silk
shirred on a wire frame, and trimmed
simply with half-wreath of delicate
blossoms; and there are straw shapes,
burnt-straws, with a band of ribbon
passing about the crown and fastened
over on the brim, off at one side a big
white pompon attached-all so simple
and effective.
A dainty granny comes in white
pique edged with a little good en-
broidery and with no trimmings at
all. There are also very nice white
pique hats for little boys, three cor
nered affairs that make the wee lads
miniature Napoleons. For older girls
one may purchase well made pique
Tam OShanters, larger somewhat
than last year, with a braided pat
tern on top of the crown, the edge of
the frill buttonholed, under the brim
softly shirred null, about the crown
folds of pale blue or pink silk with a
great bow at the right side. Then
there are extremely cheap wash hats
of coarse but pretty embroidery,
which are made with draw-string for
top brim, can most easily be removed
for laundering. These come ready
made and with little additions at
home may be converted into very ac-
ceptable lingerie hats.

We smiled little scornfully, called it

the eulogizers. And the conversion
came through glimpse of just one such
