dressmakers every season show many
smart creations in this material.
Paquin especially favors serge in
dark blue and in ivory white eolorings
and is wonderfully attractive.
The material has many points IN its
favor besides its great durability, but
extreme smartness of design and per-
lection of finish is necessary to achieve
success with serge.
The Cabot Seems have turned out an
unusually large number of exceptional
ly attractive frocks this season, and
have made great use of buttons and
buttonholes for trimmings. Redingotes
of odd cut are notable and promise to
be very much in vogue by autumn.
This is far from being striped sea-
son. Checks, crossbars and plaids are
a close second if not neck and neck.
The blending of plain materials with
the fancy ones is one of the seasons
happiest faneies. Checks and plaided
skirts have plain coats and plain suits
have checked coats. If a gown is
checked silk, it's coat is more likely
than not to be plain cloth. If the suit
is checked wool the coat VeerS off into
plain silk.
In the moderateiy-priced summer
runabout suits shown in the stores few
kimono sleeves are in evidence. They
are relegated to dressy costumes. But
the cape sleeve of many guiseS is found

Some of these cape sleeves are slashed
on the top and the two sides are joined

certain jaunty little boleros that are
made for both girls and women.
The latest millinery freak in Paris is
bis mushroom made Of ring spotted
net, unlined except for a large layer of
chiffon. The size of the brim is not
limited and most such hats are enor-
nous. Many of the new hats have soft
crowns of white or colored spotted net
and mushroom brims of the same net
shaped over wire and bound with silk
or velvet. Sometimes the brim is of silk.
The trimming is usually a garland of
roses or other flowers which match the
net or contrast with il a couple of os-
trich feathers or a bunch of the nod
ding grasslike feathers that are one
of the spring novelties. These feathers
are dyed all kinds of colors and are
used over and under brims.
Emerald green and golden brown are
a popular combination, the brown ap-
pearing in the straw of the hat and the
green in its feathers.
Originality in the placing of feathers
is one OF the features of the new hats.
A wide-brim golden brown straw hat
seen on a dashing fashionable had an
ostrich feather half encircling the mar
row circlet under the crown, the barbs
of the feather falling like fringe upon
the LETT side of the head and the back
and dancing with every step of the
wearer.
Some of the loveliest hats have
crowns swathed with tulle: others are
made of shot or plain silk or wide rib
bons caught into loops that are set as
closely together as possible. An i'm
ported mushroom model is treated in
this way, the crown being of peacock
blre ribbon. Another has a black tat
feta crown, and is trimmed with two
ostrich feathers so long that they just
escape the shoulder when the hat is on
the head.
Instead of the popular wreath of
flowers to encircle a crown one sees
now and then a huge feather twining
it and dropping on the shoulder. Other
crowns are wound about and draped
with spotted net or tulle centered with
folds of ribbon which end in big bow
at the left side, the ends falling over
the brim- A hat Of nut-brown straw

pink and pale brown roses which were
arranged to add to the height OF the
hat.
Crowns composed entirely of flowers
or foliage are a good deal seen and
flower bands crossing the crowns are a
favorite decoration.
The wedding out that ensues after the
various new models have been launched
is RELOCATING some types to the back
ground and bringing others forward.
The rather small cottage shapes have
been adopted by many women who like
hat that is too conservative. This,
with its dropping brim fiattened at the
sides, and the strapped trimmings that
are its almost invariable garniture is
notable standard type of the season.
The nosegay style OF trimming is an
other popular fad much used with
rundown brims. also the variation of
this where ribbon rosettes take the

Fine straws OF satin finish are bet

ent weaves OF last year. Where horse
hair hraids are used the trims are faced
with fitted Innings OF straw or satin,
making these hats in their general eff

The yellow hats trimmed in tintings
of their own coiors are being set aside
for similar straws with black or other
strong contrasts in their garniturcs.
