charming style. Young girls with lots
of fluffy hair loo best in these hats,
and the bows of ribbon tulle flowers
and feathers that are piled upon them
do not seem to be too heavy for them.
There is n saving grace about them
they a be changed in the shape of
the ibrim Or the style of wearing to
suit the different faces. There is al
so another quality that will be welcom
ed n that is that the wide brim of
these hats are of some value as a sun
shade in country travels and on the
water.
Ostrich feathers of medium length
and of exaggerated size are consider
ed very smart. They are arranged on
the hat in all sorts of positions. A
bunch of feathers at the left side of
the nat will fall partly over the crown
and then down the brim, and one very
full plume will start from the front
and covering the entire crown, will
fall at the back of the hair. A color
ed Or white or white and black are
thought to be especially smart, and
two tones Oh color are more popular
than ever. Flowers and feathers and
bows of ribbon are used together, with
the addition of a twist of tulle, or
velvet or net. Hats to match costum-
es are no longer obligatory, but there
must be introduced into the hat a
touch o fthe most striking color in the
gown. AT the same time it is to be
noticed that most of the hats that
were fashionable last year are made
to match the gowns exactly, and ne
Or heavy straws are dyed to match the
materials. Some odd contrasts are al
so in evidence in colors, and certainly
never nave there been seen such strik
ing and original variety in the differ
ent shapes. Different tones of burnt
straw trimmed with mauve, with a
bunch of violets o pa~1sies, are most
fashionable. A few sprays of mignon
cites or some green leaves add sim
ply a most becoming touch.
All sorts of weaves in straws are
fashionable, although the preference
is for the lighter and more transpar-
ent. Grin, in spite of what the MILL
ler tried to do, is again to be much u.s.
ed, but the extremely fine straws are
much smarter, the best hats being
light in weight no matter how much
trimming there is on them.
An important part of the new hats
is the crown, which this year has as
sumed much larger Importance than
last year. There does not appear to
be any fixed law as to what tine size
and exact shape shall be, but the
crown must be evident. The most
attractive shapes have a twist of vel
vet or ribbon just around the medium
size and medium height crown. The
more eccentric have a succession of
bows, Or rather one stiff bow at the
left side, while directly in front there
is no trimming at all.
The scarf trimmed Panama is in
most of its forms rather a youthful
type of h~eadgear but when ~cleverly
bent and trimmed it is perfect in its
effect of piquancy n a pretty hat
summer morning wear. Leghorns
are regarded with favor by the French
Observation-Disclosures, f1appy, wide
brimed leghorns, ribbon and flower
trimmed set fiat on the head with a
little baldeau or none at all. The sup
preston of the bandeau is one of the
most marked features of the seasons
millinery.
The Dolly Warden and Poke Shapes,
the bell and mushroom brfms and
the huge full crowns of silk
and lace, all the ideas which though
milliners have developed in the sea-
hats, nave artistic possibilities,
but they also demand the artistic wear
er, and the ordinary wearer should
lean toward conservatism.
The couture should be well looked
to with the new hats, and even when
he couture is all it should be, soft
and fluffy on top and at the sides and
in soft coils and puffs the eff
'ect of the wide dropping back brim
upon so many of the new mod
els, the tendency of setting the hat
we'll back on the head instead of hav-
ng it droop oven i face, the huge
scarfs and bows and plumes, falling
ow in the back all these give to &C
,ustomed eyes a bizerre and absurd
impression, but shall become accustom
ID to them as we became used to the
my, tip-tilted shapes of yesterday.
And now a word Or two on the sub
ect of the lingerie hat. The present
leadpiece of that style does not pre-
tent the slightest resemblance to the
lat and somewhat commonplace affair
which answered to the name some
'ears ago. In fact lingerie seems to
,e a generic name used by milliners
o describe their most costly creations
If null, hand embroidered laces and
,xquisite and costly trimmings of all
,inds.
So heavily are the delicate materials
wrought with hand work that they
droop with their own weight,
nd where by any chance a few inch
