 New York, June 22.-Every week, and in fact every day, brings out new styles in millinery and the selection for summer hats for the vacation wardrobe Is a more be- Wildering task than ever. There is no hard and fast rule this sum- mer regarding what shall or shall not be worn, although there are one Or two shapes that have become i'm mensely popular. The mushroom shape is for the moment in great favor but this very popularity IS likely to be it's undoing, as it is worn by both young and old. How ever, there are mushrooms and mushrooms, and the smart hats bear little resemblance to those that lack that Indispensable quality. The shape. too, is not becoming to every woman by any means and besides has an unfortunate tendency to make the wearer look much older than smaller and friskier shape. Much depends upon how the ban leau is put in the mushroom hat, for if it is not wide enough or Is too large, the hat goes down on the head too far and is too all-envelop- ing to be becomin~. The Charlotte Corday shape is suggested in the hats of straw and lace combined, the crown being of lace, with ribbon bows and roses arranged always Ill becoming style,
 Hats that have the brims turned ,lp sharply at one side are as rule more becoming than those that cover more of the head. This sea son trimming inside of the brim is again in fashion, and the smaftest of bows and rosettes of velvet and satin ribbon are massed together restin on the hair Many tim 2 there are both r0settes of velvet ana flowers. An extremely smart blaek erin hat with upturned brlm had only on the crown stiff trimming of rose velvet ribbon and charmlne sprav of two pink roses and green leaves. Another hat all i'll black had a succession of rosettes wi'l tiny buckles under the brim, while at one side of the crown was more of the ribbon and some high als rettes.
 Flowers are highly fashionabit this year and all sorts of comeiha lions in coloring and kinds Of no" CTS are to be noted Field flower: especially daisies, are thousa charming. while sprays of mlsnoh cite are most cleyerly eomhlhe' with brighter flowers, like roses yellow daisies or pansies. Odd col cred roses are also popular, ol size and color never seen in natufa flowers, but immensely satisfactory for trimming Blue roses, comnih cd with blue ostrich plumes, max an especially striking effect.
 A great deal too, depends upo' how the hat is placed on the head Many of the hats this season ar worn at an entirely different anst to that originally intended by tn designer. and it must be admitted look much better for the change Very few Of the shapes are becomlh without they have their brim' which stand out from the heae filled in underneath with puffs, cur or plenty of soft tulle. There mus he no hard lines against the fac' and vet the first inspection o1 tn hat discloses nothing but hard ilnf and acute angles, the brim standln several inches from the hea The mushroom shape lh modified form savers somewhat the artistic and picturesq style. Young girls with 10 of fluffy hair look best in these ha and the bows of ribbon tnlle howe and feathers that are piled upe them do not sem to be too hea for them. There is one savli grace about them-they can changed in the shape of the bri or the style of wearing to suit Il different faces. There is also a
 other quality that will be welcome and that is that the wide brim
 these hats are of some value as
