MUSHROOM HATS LATEST
IN SUMNER MILLINERY
GBy Catherine Mann-Payzant.)

UBy Mann-PdyZant.)
New York, June 20.-Every week,
and in fact every day brings out new
styles in millinery an dthe selection of
summer hats for the vacation ward
robe is a more b~ewildering task tran
ever. There is no hard and fast rule
this summer regarding what shall or
snail not be worn, although there are
N or two shapes that have become
immensely popular. The mushroom
shape is for the moment in great ia
vor, but this very popularity is likely
to be its undoing, a. it is worn by
both young and old. However, there
are mushrooms and mushrooms, and
the smart hats bear lit telersem oc
to those that lack that indispensable
quality. The shape, too, is not becom-
ing to very woman by any means and
besides has an unfortunate tendency
to make the wearer look much older
than the smaller and friskier shape.
Much depends upon how the baldeau
is put in the mushroom hat, for if it
is not wide enough or is too large the
lat goes down on the head too far and
is too acknowledging to be becoming.
The Charlotte Corday shape is sug-
gested in the hats of straw and lace
combined, the crow1 being of lace,
with ribbon bows and roses arranged
always in becoming style.
Hats that have the brims turned up
sharply at one side are as a rule more
becoming than those that cover more
of the head. This season trimming
inside of the brim is again in fashion,
and the smarteSt of bows and rosettes
of velvet and satin ribbon are massed
together, resting on the hair. Many
times there are both rosettes of velvet
and flowers. An extremely smart
black erin hat with upturned brim had
only on the crown a stiff trimming of
rose velvet ribbon and a charming
spray of two pink roses and green
leaves. Another hat all in black and
a succession of ~rosettes with tiny
buckles under the brim, while at one
side of the crow was more of the rib
bon m some nigh a~igrettes.
Flowers are highly fashionable this
and all sorts of combinations
in coloring and kinds of flowers are to
be noted. Field flowers, especially
daisies, + thought charming, while
sprays of mignonette are most clev-
erly combined with brighter flowers,
like roses, yellow daisies or pansies.
colored roses are also popular,
of a size and color never seen in ma
tural flowers, but immensely satisfac-
tory for trimming. Blue roses, com
bined with blue ostrich plumes, make
an especially striking effect.
A great deal too depends upon how
he hat is placed on the head. Many
Of the hats this seaso are worn at an
entirely different angle to that origi-
lally intended by the designer, and it
must be admitted, look much better

A GOOD SIGN.

That was a singular scene in the

into applause: men who had eve

congratulations; and the juror who
had voted for Schuftz on the first
ballot thought it wise TO ssue a state

merely made a bunder in his ballot.
