roses and morning
glories, the latter being a recent in
spiration of a French designer. In al
lowing his fancy to take wide liber-
ties, this particular creator of elias
sy" headcoverings invaded the old
fashioned garden and reproduced the
most exquisite tints ever seen in a
morning-glory lattice. His idea is
carried out in close fitting turban
whose brim Is draped with soft green
malines and the large crown is COM
pletely covered with clusters of as
beautiful mOrning-glories as were ever
imagined in fairy dreams. They are
ali shades and combinations with
here and there black one that seems
rightly placed to give distinction to
the general effect
Another airy turban is fashioned
precisely after the style Of an Arabs
head covering and has it's brim
swathed in three shades of chiffon
blue, green and lilac. The crown is
draped with soft silk appliqued with
tiny motifs in dull gold At the left
side stands, in an upright position,
tall feather ornament made of un-
curled ostrich feathers in green tipped
with lilac. The feathers are clipped
to decided point at the top, giving
the effect of ounces cap. Such hat
is intended for wear with silk or
pongee street costumes and may be
made extremely chic by introducing
In the trimmings the tones of the
gown with which it Is worn. The
novel style is best suited to a round
face, since the extreme height of
the trimming has a decided tendency
to emphasize long features to a pain
full degree.
A new kind of plume seen on a mus
tard colored tagal was in the same
shade as the hat. The feather ar
rangement consists of a multitude of
the tiniest plumes, more fluffy than
really curled, yet the ends are turned.
The shape is very large and there are
no less than fifty to these feathers in
the group. They eclipse the crown
and extend to the outer edge of the
big hat, and only for the waving of
the ends the material composing the
frame would not be visible unless one
stopped to look underneath the
dropping brim. This remarkable
chapeau was seen on a fashionably
gowned dame who evidently insisted,
upon exact matches in color schemes;
for her splendid gown repeated the
shade of the hat perfectly, and was
made redingote fashion with a collar
less throat.
We are told that in gay Paris flop
by brim hats are in the lead. On
no less than fifty of these feathers in
trimming. A favored mode of trim
ming is velvet band encircling the
crown with a long stiff wing or
aigrette at the side. 1t is quite I'M
usual to see the large amount of vel
vet that is being, used this season.
Velvet is always a lovely garnish
and there is nothing more softening to
stiff hat. The broad brig that fiops
to the shoulders is the model that
has the greatest following. A very
stunning one seen the other day was
brought from Paris by returning Wis
itor. 1t was of white rice straw with
wide brim faced with taupe velvet.
The low round crown was simply
trimmed with wreath of full blown
roses in many lovely shades.
This same young woman also
brought along another unusual hat,
immense in size and made of tagal
straw in very dark green. The shape
was almost a bell with the brim
denied in at one side. The trimming
was supple silk Of superb light blue
tint. 1t was arranged into huge bow
at the side, which rested low on the
hat near the face, while at the back
It stood defiant and aggressive. Near
ly all the modish shades of green are
hard live dye that might be men
toned in the class with emerald and
Russian greens. Another fashionable
tint that Is still more conspicuous
than either is new grass. The hat de-
scribed above is in the fashionable
bottle green that is none too common,
but very smart.
Some of the choice hats designed
for midsummer are more than half a
yard high. Placed low on the head
they do not, of course. appear so high,
but without a brim and with little or
70 trimming, they are eccentric look
