PARIS FASHIONS.
BY MADAME PARouIN.

This inch-wide line of straw takes the
place of hem, and it is eminentiy be-
coming and attractive.
One of the prettiest hats / have late
ly seen was simple as il was desirable,
and il was very suitable for seaside
wear or for "A garden party in the
country. The straw was of distinct
ivory shade and rather coarse. While
the hem" at the edge of the broad
brim was made of black chip The
shape was clOche and quite large, and
right across the front there were four
enormous wings-two white and two
black. The wings met in front and
extended well over the edges of the
brim at either side. The only other
trimming consisted of a fold of ivory
taffetas twisted round the crown, the
latter being wide and rather high.
There was a delightful cachet at
tached to this hat, and / have seen q
similar model carried out in navy blue,
the entire hat being composed Of navy
chip, with large navy wings and tai
fetas folded round the crown. W it'll
the latter hat a long veil of fine black
point d'esprit was worn, the. net being
edged all round with navy blue taft
fetas ribbon about enc inch and half.
The cloche hats of this moment are
absolutely enormous. The hats them
selves are very large. and they are so
fully trimmed that they appear even
larger than they really are. The new
idea is to cover the hat almost entire
ly with flowers, and then to throw
back over the latter one of the new
circular wells. The effect is somewhat
alarming but undoubtedly attractive.
Ivory straw hats covered with lilac
and ivy will be very popular as the
summer wears on, and also burnt straw
clocheS lavisnly trimmed with shaded
roses and brown foliage. Brown foil
age is an absolute rage in Paris this
year. and the best effects are obtained
when brown net wells are worn with it.

brown. which is a favOrite with Queen
Victoria of Spain, and which will he
much in evidence here. 1t is rather
light in tone, and it looks as though it
had been busted over with fine white
powder. Indeed this powder effect is
getting ubiquitous. We find it applied
