HATS TO MATCH FROCKS

No matter what the shape Of the lin

Of the white hats are embroidered in
colors. and you viii find colored linens
embroidered in white.
Trimmings are equally varied. On the
stin linen sailor you will find the in
evitable Merry Widow or Alsatian
bow, but generally there win be at least
one huge. placid looking rose tucked on
the left side or in the center of the bow.
Or there may be a stiff, almost tailored,
wreath of small flowers around the crown
and huge bow in the front.
The lingerie hat in finely shirred or plait-
ed lawn, with lace and embroidery of the
finest sort inset or edgine the brim, is
trimmed with quantities Of flowers and
choux of lace. Huge choux Of mirror

heads Of .cttuce with flowers for their
hearts, are used for trimming the lace
hats.

her embroidery needle can ornament this
shape with Wallachian or English eyelet
stitchery, but the girl who is ineXperi-

Lengthening the Hem

There are almost as many ingenious
ways Of lengthening the hem in little
girls dresses as there are little girls 70

chine when stitching the hem OF the
dress. There is no strain on the hem. so

Craze Extends to Parasols.

The craze for the ancient printed cot

extended to the province of the parasol,

Parsians resurrected for waistcOats and
cuffs and collars when the fad was
launched last year are not available for
parasol purposes the manufacturers have
brought out the most delightful stuffs
in imitation of the old weaves, designs,

These have been seized upon by the
