r11ings and Their Uses.

With the heat of summer still upon us
and no thought us yet of the coming
Fall, the first fashion harbingers of au-

mer girl for wear with those white and
colored linen suits which have been her
summer street garb since early June.
The fact that the drcssy summer hat
Is worn quite late in the season is in all
probability responsible for the majority OF
tailored effects In the first models.
Revelations IN these IRE not so numer
GUS rs one might expect, for the reason
that copies and adaptations of popular
summer shapes and duplicates OF late
summer novelties are represented In oil
the high class openings The variations
of the mushroom are many, but each md
every one is SO attractive In Its shaping
as well as trimming that even those who
/, early tired of the summer model viii
look upon them with favor
The all white hat of soft French felt
with trimmings of ribbons, wings and
various feather effects is conspicuous In
hendwear for the younger set The white
hat goes we'll with late summer rrocks
and does not look out Of place like one Of
darker hue. In these broad brimmed
shapes prevail. for the small close6tting
hat Is not so youthful and consequently
as becoming. The only shape which
might be classed rs small is the cowboy,
but even this has q medium brim. turn

In wings there is varied assortment
OF shapes and colorings. plain coors and
combinations of colors which do much to
liven up dark toned hat. The size of
wings Is often astounding. Even the
small shapes use tie huge effects which
seem htted only for the company of the
broad brimmed sailor but SO artistically
are they posed that the effect Is never
homogeneous.
