Whether built up entirely In lingerie
lace, ribbon and flowers, or combining straw
with the airier materials. the Charlotte
Corday as it comes from the hands of an
artist milliner is charming. II needs to
be associated with a young and pretty
face, but even where it has not these adj
juncts 1t Is often pretty enough to wiring
admiration from the beholder In spite OF
it's handicap.
Some Of the latest r-odels are Of a most
knowing simplicity. without even an inch
OF lace or ribbon or a single flower. They
are made up in a pink gauzy material which
has a certain body and ~orispness for all it's
airy lightness, a material vaguely sug-
costing an idealized tarletan.
Crown, plated frills, drapery, bow. all
are Of the one material in the l~oveliest Of
delicate rose pinks. and the whole creation
has a look Of freshness. a~:riuess, g.rlisi, =
ness, that is altogether lovely. Turned out
by a bungling band there would be neither
character nor style In the bonnet. but when
it is just right it Ii a thing for the summer
girl to oonjure with.
Less unusual but very attractive was
the batiste model Of the sketch with its
wide pulled band of soft blue ribbon en-
ciroling the crown and ending In q big soft
knot on the left side. Several little plated
frills stand perkily up above the ribbon.

This embroidered frill could hardly be

but this Is only one Of the delectable ideas
illustrated In the midsummer millinery.
Wide brims dropping low all around save
for a rolling curve upward at the left, low

and innumerable others are offered; flower

Never have m~illiners made better use
OF ribbon, and never have they had more
beautiful ribbons to use. Many smart
hats are trimmed only in ribbon. but even
here an artist hand diferentiates the truly
smart hat from the ordinary one. There's
a wonderful art in the inspired handling
Of ribbon. which Is beyond the attainment
Of many q milliner who can get good
effects with plumes or flowers. !
One Of the very chic ideas in the trimming
OF the simple morning hat is. the oombip-
ing Of plated lingerie frills with the soft
ribbon trimming. A wide brimmed high
crowned hat Of white chip. for example,
will have q wide scarf Of black satin swathed
round its crown and tied in a big bow at

rolling one. receives the trimming this sea-

an outstanding plated frill of white lawn.

THE QUEENS Own Fashions.
The Royal Toque = Permanent style OF
Headgear.

Queen Alexandra does not follow the
fashion either Of long silhouetted figure or
Of wide and high crowned headgear. There
Is a style Of dress In England which the
Queen has made her own, which the Prin-
cess Of Wales follows closely and which Ia
in favor with every member OF the royal
family.
This has gradually became distinctively
their own. Il want q royal toque' is a re-
quest understood by any milliner, as is a
Queens sleeve or q Queens skirt by a
dressmaker.
On the opening day at ASCOT the Queen
wore a dress Of delicate orchid mauve mar
quisette, lace inserted and embroidered.
and q toque made OF tulle and flowers the
same shade.
The Princess OF Wales was Rowned In
soft rose pink chiffon. lavishly embroidered
in the same shade. and wore q cream coli
ored toque with ostrich feathers.
Another day, according to the Ladies'

beautiful embroidery In the same color.
The Queens toque was Of orinoline straw
and tulle Of the same delicate shade, and was
trimmed with an aigrette Of heliotrope and
crimson damask roses.
