W summer prettiness must be

graceful. becoming things for wear
when driving about town or to festive
gatherings.
For example the woman who rolls
leisurely up to the country club for
tea, would look absurd swathed in
wells and smothered in dust coat de-
signed for hard travel on the road. So
there are all manner of charming togs,
much less severe in design than the
business-like outfit for a long tour.
Spectacular Motor Raiment Not in
Good Taste.
Many new styles in motoring raiment
appear at the French races during Au-
gust. though the Parisians who resel
in spectacular effects wear much more
daring and conspicuous creations in
motor garb than more conservative
Americans would dream of donning.
on the Bots the other day the pretty
chauffeuse OF chic runabout wore an
oriental turban made of a Persian
scarf wound round and round her
head. The folds We're doubtless Sc
curely pinned to the wearer's hair. but
the only visible fastening We're two
pearl discs that were clapped on at
either side; long pearl pendants dang
ling rakishly over the ears.
Like a Harem Beauty.
Another headdress in, semi barbaric
effect. yet coquettishly becoming with
al. is shown on today's page. This odd
hat. which fits closely over the head
is of rose pink straw, the TUNED back
portion being faced with pompadour
silk is rose pattern. Thu veil in an
exquisite pale pink, like the inside of
shell. is draped over the hat something
as the Turkish woman wears her face
covering: the one end of tho veil being
lifted across the face just below the
eyes when the automobile is in motion.
The comfortable and practical motor
bonnet has proved II grand success.
The reason is traceabe. perhaps. not
to the practically satisfactory features
of this type of headgear for riding
against the wind. but to the undoubted
becomingness of the bonnets A pretty

the shipping district have been fairly

for the pretty faces within the SCOOP

more or less than small mushroom ar

Straw Headed Hat Pins.
One of the motor honncts shown in
the illustrations is apparently trimmed
with big cabochons of straw. These
cabochons are really the tops of hat
pins which. after bonnet and veil have
been adjusted. are thrust through the
completed headgear into the hair.
