Outing HATS In WIDE VARIETY
AND MOST OF ITEM WITH SOME
PIQUANT TOUCH.
afannishness Out Of Date-The Panama
with Brim Up In Front and Down Be
mind a ~rOnOun Fad OF the Season
An white Hats and sailor shapes.

The day when the straight brim sailor
was the only wear for summer outing pur-
poses is left far behind and, though plain
sailors, wide of brim and moderately high
ot crown, have a certain vogue this season,
there is wide variety in the outing hats,
and in a majority Of the best models some
piouant feminine touch softens the severity
es tho lines.
Nannishness IL out Of date. The linen
collars are hand embroidered; dainty
lingerie bows and ties have usurped the
Mace Of masculine f~our-in-hand or string
Tie. the shoes are high Of heel and pointed
Of toe, and the outing hats are trimmed
In soft scarfs or wings.
One of the most pronounced fads OF
the season in the province OF the outing
hat ia the Panama hat rolling up from
the face in front and down in the back
and trimmed in a scarf wound aroundl
the crown and tied in a soft careless bow
at the back or at one side OF the back. This
il A youthful model not becoming TO all
faces; but when it ia becoming it is most
attractive, and much individuality can be
obtained by a knowing choice of scarf.
Naturally the idea has already been
taken up by the manufacturers and the
shape reproduced in cheap braids; but
nothing gives the effect Of a good Panama,
and a fine. soft bamboo straw Is the only
cheaper braid really desirable.
Shapes somewhat similar to the one Just
described, but VARYING in the shape and
size Of the crown and in the curve Of the
brim, are numerous. and some Of these
are very smart indeed when trimmed with
folded scarf and wings. In many cases,
the upward roll Of the moderate brim comes
at a point slightly 60 the left of the front;
but the brim in almost every model droops'
sharply at the back.
A wide folded scarf Of natter blue
faille and two handsome wings Of shaded
blues and grays trimmed the light straw
hat which is shown among the sketches and
some attractive effects are obtained in
combinations Of white and leather brown.
The deep yet vivid emerald green is always
popular for outing wear in combination with
white and one finds this color note intro
duced upon many of the outing hats,
though the leather browns and blues are
newer.
All white outing hats need to be cleverly
trimmed IL they are to have cachet. but
when successful, are charmingly cool and
becoming and there are some peculiarly
smart little hats in all white his sumnler.

reproduced here. One, a made shape u
rough dead white braid. is low and dish
shaped in the crown and has a very mod
crate brim. narrower in front than at the
.ides and back. The modish air of the hat
depends upon the unusual though not
bizarre lines and upon the adjustment Of
the bow Of white tafYeta which is posed at
the left front and covers the side OF the
hat with many stiff loops.
The milliner who has the knack Of hand
ling ribbons cleverly is in her element this
season, a~i some trimmers display a genius
for tying bows.
Wide brimmed sailors trimmed in a wild
white or colored scarf passing around the
crown and tied in a huge bow at the front.
the big double loops standing out side
wise quite to the edges OF the wide brim
and very lightly wired so that they stay in
nlaoe vet have an air Of softness, are among
the most popular and charming OF the
simple summer hats; and a hat with low
crown and wide brim dropping in the back
but rolled sharply upward near its edge in
front Is another Of the shapes upon which
great bows beetow modishness.
This last shape is trimmed by some
OF the fashionable milliners in one immense
bow Of very wide silk which falls back
ward over the crown and brim In six inn
mense loops and two ends. The soft silk
is, OF course, crushed into graceful folds,
but the bow altogether covers the crown
and leaves little Of the brim in view save
in the front.
The milliner who launched this successful
hat charged SIS for it earlier in the season.
but very fair limitations Of it are now sell
ing at half that price, though the straw
and silk are not OF the finest and the bow
has not Just that note which indicates the
artist hand.
Sailor shapes in Panama or other very
soft straw with wide brims rolling upward
near the edges are among the more severe
outing models and are trimmed with a plain
band or perhaps with some handsome en-
broidered band which does not detract
from severity OF line but brings the price
of the hat up with a rush. Apopular actress
lunching at a Fifth avenue restaurant the
other day wore one Of these hats in fine
Panama and the band was Of heavy white
silk embroidered boldly in very high relief
with brown and gold and finished on the
side with a big buckle covered with the
embroidered silk and set in gold.
Wide, straight brin sailors swatbed in
chiffon or silk gauze and trimmed in wings
or birds are to be reckoned with among
the outing hats. though they are ornate
enough 10 he worn with pretty summer
frocks that have no connection with sports
other than summer filtration. A particu-
larry pretty model of this type was all in
white save for the slightest touches of
soft brown in the plumage Of the two white
birds which we're used with the white silk
gauze scarf in the trimming.
Some odd mushroom or bell shapes
have been included among the outing
hats and nave a quaint piquancy upon
Just the right women. but these shapes
are rapidly losing caste throughout the
