IT Is easily noticed that the hats
have become lighter and more CAV
IN color, even as the tailored suits
are of lighter materials. For in
stance. OF hat of silver gray straw
win nigh crown, there are large
punches of red and violet flowers. On
pewter gray straw hat there are
beautiful jacqueminot roses in
wreath round derby shaped crown;
IN front there is a white and cerise
bird with soft wings following the
sweep of the hat Now all or these
colors have been combined for the
ilrst time. Who ever thought of put
ting together red roses with cerIse
bird, Or who could conceive of com
bining red and violet flowers on a gray
background? Even the toGues are
being made in an entirely. different
style. One very attractive one Is made
solely OF blucts or cornflowers. trim
med on the left side with huge chou
of blue satin ribbon.
Many semi-dressy hats are made Of
ono straw and lined with another.
AZ. Tor instance. pewter gray hat
lined with cerise yedda straw. which
has a by-shaped crown. The brim
is wide and raised on one side. and the
hat Is trimmed with a wreath OF rose
buds In natter blue. There is also an
aigrette OF tulle.
a dark green hat of this shape is
faced with yellow straw and trimmed
with huge bow of taffeta ribbon.
For lingerie hats. the nightcap va
riety is most popular. a simple cir
Gle OF allover embroidery or net. gath
cred round the edge and tied with a
bow OF ribbon. the trimming being
merely a ruffle Of lace. Sometimes this
ribbon is Of black velvet. with long
ends hanging down the hack. Other
lingerie hats are made of ponsee or
tusscr, trimmed in as simple a way as
Is found to be becoming.
A pretty Charlotte OF France of
blue tuile is faced under the brin,
ming consists of two large bunches
of old red and ruby roses with light
green foliage. Another faced hat is
OF grayish blue yedda straw faced with
dark red. It Is trimmed on the right
sd-e with huge bunch Of quilts, lined
with green while the crown is drapedi
with taffeta in two shades OF green
A flower pot shaped hat with
rather wide brim is made of nat
tier blue straw and trimmed all
around the crown with band OF
brown straw. 1t has a Mephisto
aigrette placed directly in front.
The latest variety in the straw line
Is kind Of curled straw. which looks
like wood shavings. Pretty toques are
made OF It, and are simply trimmed
with an immense colored bird. This
same straw is used to make those pc
culiar looking bowler hats, trimmed
with few cerise wings.
The much more dressy hats are very
large, worn we'll down on the head
on one side and raised on the other
while the hair is very much puffed out.
a shape In leghorn is trimmed with
black satin a feather bandeau of os-
trlch all round the high crown, while
a very large clump OF flowers, in
greenish blue. close the bandeau on
the right side. This same trimming
looks very stylish on a very large
shape of black crinoline or net.
Alpaca Suits Popular.
AInaca s,,fs are much worn in Main.
