lem of comfortable, appropriate
and becoming motor hats and
- bonnets has been a puzzllng one
E2XEyM for the mllliners, and as a rule
&S some one Of the requisites has
been sacrificed to the others, but this sea-
son the motor woman should have little
trouble in finding satisfactory headwear.
In the first place many Of the small
shapes modish for street wear might have
been designed especially for motoring, so
well do they answer that purpose. The
rather large turban set well down over the
head and made in coarse straw so light of
weight that 1t gives the lie to the heavy
appearance OF the hat is an excellent model
for motoring, taking a veil we'll, being
easily kept on the head and not heavy
enough to be uncomfortable
1t must be very simply trimmed, of course,
and the more ~squarely It rests on the head
the better, for the coquettish tip-tlted hat
is likely to give its wearer a drunken as
pect after a run at high speed or on a
windy day, no matter how firmly a veil
may be tied over II. Let the hat fit the
head fatty, and II ~irregularfty of line is
desired build the shape up at one side. II
this height is given by trimming, however,
the trimming must be so light that 1t will
have no tendency to weigh the hat down
on that side.
All these details may seem foolish to the
woman who thinks any hat will do for
motoring SO long as one ties a veil over It,
but as a matter OF fact successful headwear
has an immense amount to do with the
comfort and enjoyment OF any motoring
and particularly OF touring, and serious
consideration given to the subject has its
reward.

ideal motor hats were few and far between
1--WE have some good bonnets,' he said,
but many Of them are too quaint and
striking to suit quiet women. and then
unless a woman motors a great deal
she would rather have a hat that can be
used for general wear than an expensive
hat or bonnet fit for nothing but motoring.
Here are some OF the shapes we've been
selling"
He brought out four or five compare
lively small hats. One whose virtues he
especially emphasized was a good looking
turban OF rough straw in one Of the soft
burnt straw tones
The crown was largo and elongated in
boat shape, higher on the left side than
on the right. and fitted snugly and fatty,
low on the head. The brim rolled In a
rounded curve all around just to the
height OF the crown. At the right side
three tiny roses OF straw In three shades
OF bright blue caught the brim up to the
crown.
On the slightly higher left side was a
flat, soft bow OF black satin held by a
