MANY PINS ANCHOR
BIG BRIMMED HATS
Fastenings Keep Pace With
Headgear and Are Or
nameutal
By La Voyaguese


PARIS, June 27.-While the hats of
many women now measure two and
half feet in diameter, in many cases
the hat pins keep pace with them in
inches. Indeed, many OF the new de-
signs measure three inches across, and
even larger ones may be seen here The
new shaped hats and the way one
places them on the head require a
less number of pins 10 anchor them
securely. The pins used must be in
pairs, or sets, and ornamental il one
wishes to be quite in fashion
Some beautiful hatpins seen recently
were made of old fashioned buttons
OF strass and enamel. Many also are
of light colored shell. ornamented with
gold silver or jewels. The most ele-
giant. however, are large uncut pearls
mounted in groups.
The hats seen these warm days are
simply immense. but still quite becom-
ing when the coiffure is well arranged
and pinned UP 10 the brim. The trim
ming is simple, q huge ruche of frayed
out silk, or one made of tulle, with
giant rose placed in front, being an
arrangement that is usually seen. These
roses, used singly, Of course. are as big
as pie plate and are most effective.
\ smart model worn by i well known
San Francisco woman at the polo games
this week was Of Ieghorn, one of the
large, floppy brim kind, with an enor-
nous ruche OF frayed out green silk
that bright green which is so popular.
ParasoI. belt. shoes and stockings, all
of the same shade, made a very smart
effect with the white linen suit worn.
Another seen was d large shape of
Havana color. the crown encircled with
clouds OF blue and brown tulle, just
the right blending shades. In front
were four immense wings of pale blue,
which. from their likeness TO some
rare tropical bird one would never as
sociate with their probable origin
in the barnyard and from the stock Of
some goose.
Another was of rose colored tulIe,
from the top of which waved q bunch
of rose color feathers worthy of q
knight Templars helmet of old on
setting out for the crusade, but alas,
these huge hats can only be worn TO
advantage by the long and lanky
favored ones. One of the prettiest
women l have seen for a long time
was driving in the Bois this week
wearing a lovely princess frock of ba-
taste and hat the crown of which
was made entirely OF Easter lilies.
The gala performance for the Home
Of Retreat for Aged People of the
French authors society, given at the
opera house last week, uetted $4,000.
Seats sold for $50 and were in demand
ar that price The opera was "Rigo-
letto,' with Melba and Caruso in the
east. They came from London especially
for the occasion. Many Californians
were in the audience.
Folding beds are among the latest
novelties and luxuries for canine pets
in the French capital. In future dogs
which fare sumptuously and live in pet
ted Incidence can travel with their
owners without fear OF risk OF being
put to bed in damp or drafty places
in hotels OF country houses The fold
ing bed, which makes comfort certain
for milady's pet, are easily taken along
with the rest of the baggage. In ap-
pearance they resemble exaggerated
dolls beds They are upholstered in
smart and attractive styles and some Of
them even have gilded tapestries and
bindings. To make the luxuriousness
more complete there are pretty, soft
cushions.
