mousselines are cleverly used. but they |
demand c1everness. for they are not |
easily handled with success. Narrow
borders are much more easily managed
than deep affairs, and the narrow bor-
ders on some of the seasons best foul
ards have enabled the designers to OBJ
tain admirable results in ways COM
paratively simple.
Selvages are often used quite as If
they were borders, and with good re-
suits Some of the sheer materials have
inch wide. heavily ribbed or plain silk
selyages in self-color. which make an
excellent finish for the thin material,
and selvages in contrasting colors. par
ticularly in black or white, have de-
lightful possibilities This use of the
selvage does away with the necessity
of a hem, which Is often thick and
clumsy from the present modish point
of view. Facing with chiffon which ex-
tends into a lining throughout is de-
vice by which the thickness of hem
is sometimes avoided where it would
interfere with the utter limpness and
suppleness desired.
The kingling of lingerie materials
with silks. heavy or transparent, is not
new, but more models of this class are
to be seen this season than ever be-
fore, and most OF them are uncommonly
| attractive. lingerie frock beautifully

| Every variation of the wide -brimmed
hat will be seen during the coming
| season. Crowns are round or square
and trimmings vary from the simple
quill or ribbon bow to clouds of maline
and veritabie gardens of roses. Their
| variations introduce us to lace which
| is yelled with maline and too small
| beds of blossoms studded with larger
| roses. Brims vary in shape and method
of their rolling. Some of them are
| turned sharply up once. twice or even
three times. others are fiat. with
crowns of extreme lowness and the
| merest bit of embroidered ribbon as
| trimming. Flowers are hand made and
so are leaves and the simplest wreath
of roses is considered ample decora-
ton for the very fiat hat which is be-
| coming to those who cannot wear the
| rolling brims.
Hats faced with black are holding
their own for becoming reasons. Shapes
and sizes have never been more hexi-

unique, and so long as the distinctive
ever lines and colors prove most be-
coming.
