To women OF the long-featured type Of
beauty, the English walking hat has even
been considered eminently becoming, and
that the long ostracised shape is again to
be worn will be welcome news to many
who have vainly endeavored to adapt them
selves 10 the various frealsish kinds OF
headgear ia vogue for the past few years.
The English walking hat in its revived
form is large and almost boat-shaped, for
the widely curved side brims of equal size
turn upward almost to the apex Of the
high crown while the projecting ends are
square and closely follow the outline Of
the head For walking and travelling pur-
poses such hats are best developed in
rough traw, their crowns banded with
twIstea velvet or taffeta ribbon, supple
mented by outstanding short wings or COG

huge headed fancy pins or with one of
those ornamental buckles which never

These latter are at their best when
wresthed with flowers, although amongst
the exceptionally smart walking hats Is

black velvet ribbon and trimmed at me

ostrich tips.
Ostrich pumes and tips are never seen
IN the rear of fashions march. for, when
all Is said In praise Of novelty trimmings.
