1t is very much TO be hoped that we
shall not go too far down the road of
exaggeration in the affair of hats this
season-or, rather, in our manner of
wearing them!
The slight upward tilt, which leaves
the hair above the forehead uncov-
cred, is exceedingly attractive and it
makes woman look wonderfully
young and unsophisticated; but then
there is limit and some seem in
clined to go beyond it. l have fire.
quently had occasion ito remark on
the charm of the picture fashions so
much in vogue this summer, and
never, that can remember, were our
hats more deliciously becoming; but
when the upward tilt is carried to ex-
IRENE exaggeration it borders on the
ridiculous, for the hair at the back of
the head is, practically, covered, and
the impression conveyed is that some
rude person has caught the hat and
deliberately pulled it back from the
face, jamming it down on the back
of the head at the same time.
When cloche hat is in question
and this season the cloche may be
said to be ubiquitous-the perfect
manner of wearing it is absolutely
straight on the head-that is to say,
neither raised at the back nor at the
front. 1t may be coquettishly tilted to
one side, just trifle, with the best
effects, but the cloche should seem to
rest right on the hair and to mingle
with it! AT the beginning Of the sea-
son the cloche and mushr pom hats
sent out from the best millinery ate
liers were of considerable size, but
those of the present momeZt are not
in the least exaggerated ia outline.
The full crown, of point d'esprit, or
embroidered tulle, is rather high and
important looking, and for that reason
the dropping brim does not attract UNI
due attention. An amazing number
of large wings are used IL the trim
ming of toques for morning wear, and
the Cog de roche is to be seen on
nearly all the best models. Tuscan
hats in cloche form are very charm
scarf of ivory gauze and with a num-
Der of pale grey and white wings, the
rich yellow of the straw harmonizing
delightfully."- with all shades of grey,
but it is especially effective when
combined with pale pearl tints.
Tuscan hats continue to reign SUI
preme, but crinoline struw is also
in great favor, and there is new
make of chip, which looks lovely
when combined with straw-coloped
point d'esprit This chip is coarser
than the chip of last year, and for
that reason it is rather more effective.
l have seen it used with crinoline
straw, and the effect pleased me very
much. Quantities of beautiful roses
are arranged in careless looking sar-
lands on hats of the garden party or
der, and with these roses long lengths
oil broad satin ribbons, the latter al
most invariably being permitted to
fall in careless ends over the should
ers. These floating ends look delight
fully festive wien wora with lace aAd
muslin frocks, but, of course, they are
entirely out of place on hat which is
intended to accompany a tailor mace.
The hat In the lower left-hand COR
ner of our sketch can be worn with
much advantage with almost any of
the simpler summer costumes, ald
will be found vastly becoming, as we'll
as pleasantly light and cool. 1t is OBJ
tainable in brilliant straw of several
leading colors, such as navy blue,
green and Tuscan, the brim sho wing
the almost inevitable, and certainly
attractive, mushroom curves; while
for its trimming, a figured silk soarf,
which introduc as some effective con-
trast of color, is draped rouzd the
crown and loosely knotted at Sne side
where the ends fail over the brinl.
The hat displayed in the lower right
hand corner is of cloth and may be
of any color, or may be made OF cloth
