The bell-shaped hat has had a great
triumph and when one considers the
extreme ugliness of it's outline, and
the rarity of the saving grace of be-
comingness, this is little short of
amazing. The latest bell-shaped hats
are made of ecru lace, and bound with
velvet or silk, with a full beefeater
crown of lace, tied with ribbons at one
side, while usually rose is laid on the
left side of the brim. Stitched linen is
also called into service for the bell
shaped hat, and trimmed with a twist
ed scarf of chiffon it looks its best.
Again. it is made of white chip and
bound with black chip, the crown be-
ing a mass of flowers sewn closely to-
gether. And further have l noticed the
questionable charms of the bell-shaped
hat expressed in colored crinoline
lined with black moire, the sole trim
ming on the crown being an immense
mass of waving feather culled from
the back or breast of the farmyard
fowl.
One of the most effective hats-for
a woman of certain age"-I have
seen this year was a large cloche of
exquisitely fine erin" with a full
transparent crown of point d'Esprit
and large chou of black satin rib
bon at the left side; just above this
chou there was cluster of three black
ostrich tips, and jutting from the CEN
ter of these large and full white
aigrette. 1t was decidedly large hat.
but so quiet and ''lady-like" that it
would not attract undue attention, and
to its fair owner 1t proved delightfully."-
becoming. More and more it becomes
the fashion to wear black hats with
white gowns and to accompany these
with fine black spotted wells, edged
and inserted with fine ivory lace. One
or two notable leaders of fashion in
Paris started this fashion at the end
of the last season, and 1t has Caught
on" amazingly; with a pure white
gown and black hat in which not
single tinge of color is introduced,
most women look their best with
something dark on their heads. Some
thing quite dark or something quite
light. This is safe rule. OF course,
there are women who can wear me-
dunn tints on their heads with good
results, but these are the exceptions;
black-in the best and lightest mate
rials-is quite safe for a summer hat
and, besides this, it is exceedingly
fashionable.
Let us speak now of the new
sleeves which are set in folds or pleats
from shoulder to elbow, and which
then extend in mitten fashion right
down to the wrists. These sleeves are
leaping into favor with the Parish
ennes.
The sitting figure in the sketch
which accompanies this article shows
sleeves of this order, and are to be
recommended to those who do not
care for the ultra-short sleeve and
who find the halfand-half business
rather dowdy. Sleeves similar to
those in the sketch look exceedingly
well when carried out in crepe de
Chine and Maltese lace-both mate
rails being in pale shade of beige.
The lace of Malta is in great favor
this year; the kind most used on
summer dresses is rather coarse and
made in silk; 1t is-as a rule-in a
very pale shade of beige and 1t har-
monises deliciously with Tussore silk
or with crepe de Chine in the same
shade. Filet net. inset with Irlande or
