It is very much to be hoped that we
 shall not go too far down the road of
 exaggeration in the affair of hats this iseason-or, rather, in our manner of
 wearing them!
 The slight upward tilt, which leaves the hair above the forehead uncov-
 cred, is exceedingly attractive and it
 makes woman look wonderfully young and unsophisticated; but then there is limit and some seem in iclined to go beyond 1t. have ire ;quently had occasion to remark on jthe charm of the picture fashions so much in vogue this summer, and never, that I can remember, were our hats more deliciously becoming; but when the upward tilt is carried to ex- ,treme exaggeration it borders on the ridiculous, for the hair at the back of the head Is, practically. covered. and the impression conveyed is that some rude person has caught the hat and deliberately pulled 1t back from the face, tanning it down on the back of the head at the same time
 When cloche hat is in question: and this season the cloche may be said to be ubiquitous-the perfect manner of wearing it is absolutely straight on the head-that is to say, neither raised at the back nor at the front. It may be coquettishly tilted to one side, just trifie. with the best effects, but the cloche should seem to rest right on the hair and to mingle with 1t! At the beginning of the sea- son the cloche and mushroom hats sent out from the best millinery ate Hers were of considerable size, but those of the present moment are not in the least exaggerated in outline. The full crown. of point d'esprit, or embroidered tulle, is rather high and limportant looking, and for that reason the dropping brim does not attract un- ! due attention. An amazing number of large wings are used in the trim ming of toques for morning wear. and the Goa de roche is to be seen on nearly all the best models. Tuscan hats in cloche form are very charm ing when trimmed with a fringed scarf of ivory gauge and with a num- Der of pale grey and white wings, the rich yellow of the straw harmonizing delightfully."- with all shades of grey, but 1t is especially effective when combined with pale pearl tints.
 Tuscan hats continue to reign su- preme, but crinoline straw is also fin great favor, and there is a new make of chip. which looks lovely when combined with straw-colored point d'esprit This chip is coarser than the chip of last year. and for that reason 1t is rather more effective. I have seen 1t used with crinoline straw. and the effect pleased me very much. Quantities of beautiful roses are arranged in careless looking gar lands on hats of the garden party or der. and with these roses long lengths of broad satin ribbons. the latter al- most invariably being permitted to fall in careless ends over the should CTS. These floating ends look delight fully festive when worn with lace and muslin frocks. but. of course, they are entirely out of place on hat which is intended to accompany a tailor made.
 The hat in the lower left.hand cor ner of our sketch can be worn with much advantage with almost any of the simpler summer costumes. and will be found vastly becoming. as well as pleasantly light and cool It is ob- tainable in brilliant straw of several leading colors. such as navy blue. green and Tuscan. the brim showing the almost inevitable. and certainly attractive. mushroom curves; while for It's trimming. a figured silk scarf. which introduces some effective con trast of color. is drsped round the crown and loosely knotted at one side where the ends fall over the brim-
 The hat displayed in the lower right hand corner Is of cioth and may be of any color. or may be made of cloth
