BONNETS FOR THE BABIES
Demure Quaintness Their Character
istic Now.
SUMMER COATS ARE PRETTY, ALSO
Summer HeRdwear for Little Folk
Particularly Charming This Year
Made of Lace, Lingerie and
Delicate Straw.

NEW YORK, May 21-The summer bon
nets for little folk are particularly baby
ish and charming this year. and whether
one wants to spend much or little money
there is really no excuse for buying an
ANiy or unbecoming baby bonnet. The
hugo ornate creations are things OF the
past, and a demure quaintness character
ICES the bonnets and hats designed for
babies and wee women.
For the very small girls the tiny close
fitting caps are, of course, the thing, and
such delightful little caps there are; in
surprising variety, too, when one considers
the small scope allowed to the designer.
Some OF the prettiest are made entirely
OF narrow real valenciennes insertion
set together by hand bordered around
the face by little frills of valenclennes,
lined with soft silk of very delicate pink
andA trimmed with little bows of narrow
pink liberty, matching the ties.
Others are made of null or other fine
sheer lingerie material in minute shirred
tucks alternating with frills of the mar
rowest real valenciennes. while two-inch
!, bolSher all around the face is entirely
| OF closely set lace frills. Then there are
the exquisite hand embroidered lingerie
caps with lace merely around the edge.
Some of the prettiest of these have an
! embroidered piece or flap turned back
/ flat over the cap. it's scalloped and en-
broidered edge meeting the slightly fuIed
crown.
Even after the first baby stage is past
the round close caps may be worn, but
for the babies of or years and from
that age TO years there is much variety
in the line of headwear.
The close bonnets take on Normandy
SVowns or other piquant crown shapes
Nstead OF fitting the head closely and
though some OF the brims are snug and
relieved only by narrow softening
frin of lace many models have broad
fun frils or poke brims Bewitchingly
quaint and old fashioned some of these
models are, seeming like Lilliputian rep
licas of bonnets worn by our grand
mothers.
Diminutive coal scuttle shapes of white
linen or null finely corded are made be-
coming by soft lace frills inside the brim
Hnd frightened by knots and ties of ribbon.
1Ot much the same shape are other models
buch as the one sketched here, with wide
frills OF lace covering the brim and crown
OF shiLring and lace. A lingerie bonnet with
full GOWN delicately embroidered has a
very deep trill brim, also embroidered fall
ing over and equally deep frl of lace.
Adorable little sunbonnets are made of
daint@ sprigged dimity, the prettiest
having design of minute prim single
blossoms in pink white barred
ground The bonnet may have a full Nor
mandy crown or may be OF ordinary sun
bonnet shape. but with wide flap folding
back flat over the brim and bordered by
little scallops buttonholed In pink. The
fape OF the bonnet is also scanoped and
lbgttonholed and little pink ribbons tie
'across the back and form the strings.
Attractive bonnet models in fine lingerie
material have round crowns entirely tucked
oa shixed and deep pointed flaps turning
back ht uIon the bonnet Just over the
Eearsr sA )rhese flaps are beautifully
