New York. June .s-rhe time Of year
has arrived when outdoor social func-
tions are much in evidence America
has been slow to take up open-air
amueemeRts but with the e4travagance
that marks thenation there Is no half
way WORK about Il. From now until the
end Of theseaeop garden parties and
summer fetes will follow one another In
swift succession.
What to wear IL quite az important
a question az this time as Il was when
the Festival season had 70 be observed
under artificial light, Rreen-house flow
ere aud manufactured heat II is more
important, for the glare Of day admits
o. no pretence OF false coiorines. Given
clear sunny skies, balmy all, full blown
leaf and flower and a smooth green
swaTd and the can get no better back
ground for lovely woman and beautiful
array
Perhaps the most important part OF
n garden party costume is the hat, and,
none lends itself 80 readily to the nec-
ossary demands az the leghorn. While
this nne straw IN Ste natural color is
much used the dyed leghorn s. this sum
mer most popular The small hats u
the spring are largely set aside, except
for travelling. The broad brims and par
ticularly the ''bendablen kind are much
in eniand. There is shop in Fifth ave-
nue. which just at this season dvotes
itself entirely to the display Of outdoor
dresa hats
One OF these charming models was a
large ieghorn dyed pastel blue. II was
raised on a moderately high bandeau
and filed at the back with cioud Of
brown maline. Liberty satin ribbon Of
the same brown was carried over the
crushed In brim at the left side, across
the low crown and tied In an ample bow
at tae back. The crown OF the hat was
hidden with exquisiteiy natural blue for
get-me-nots, shading In palest shades.
deep dark red leghorn had trimmings
Of old rose with thetop OF the crown
covered with shaded le.sves. deep greens.
pale green's. reddish brown and dull pale
yellow.
A lovely model was in green dyed
straw with a fold OF red satin ribbon
which canshtS the brim near the front
and rolled II Up to the right side. AT
the left side the hat was raised on
bandeau OF ribbon and green maiinos.
The rest OF the trimming was OF ex-
quisite red moss roses in different shades
and put on most generously.
Az I have said the natural leghorn Is
not neglected. Many Of the handsomest
hats are OF this reliable old time ma
teriai The shepherdess shape seems TO
belong especially to the natural leghorn.
This is always short brimmed in front
and often so lorE in the back that It
sweeps down almost TO the shoulders.
Wreaths and vines are the most ap-
propriate trimming for this pattern, |
tho soft wide ribbons in bows and long
ends are also In keeping with the gene
raj outline.
The sailor models are by no means dis
carded. One OF these was in black, rath-
er wide Of brim and raised. OF course, in
the back. This bandeau was covered
with small black ostrich tips, one longer
than the rest dropping on the hair The
crown was hidden with small pink and
white roses VITA a small cluster under
the brim toward the back
simple but effective garden party |
costume was worn recently by an unus-
ually pretty girl Of the Juno type Of |
beauty. Her brown hair broke into nat
ural waves and curls under a broad
brimmed bladk hat, with cluster OF |
very natural white roses laid on the brim
Wen 10 the frOnt, and Softening in their |
effect her rather high cooring Under
meath the brim at the left side was |
bunch Of blue forgct-me5nots, theclus- |
ter being Of a coquettish size, quobtrus- 1
i've yet noticeable These matched in /
shade with her blue voile skirt with
which she wore an ekquisiteiy fine lin
gerie waist OF muslin and valenciennes.
The lace collar held up well around the
throat by gold collar supports. Long
white gloves covered the arms While /
the separate waist and skirt arenot as
popular as the whole piece dress, in this
case the effect was exceedingly good /
being Just odd enough to be dlstingue |
At this same party there was a charm /
ing brunette IN a dcshing picture hat
OF fine green bronze straw. The brim
alone was OF straw. the low crown be-
ing made entirely OF green tune. Three
large greenish-yelow roses were laid on /
the crown, almost concealed by lunches |
Of Hight red cherries which extended |
backward and dropped low over the
hair, The hat was raised at the side /
and back by a bandeau covered with /
brown tuile.
