.H93rGLsSJ are holding first
7 place at present are
roses and morning
glortes, the latter being a recent in
spiration of French designer. In al
lowing his fancy to take wide liber-
ties, this particular creator Of "clas-
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 a close fitting turban
whose brim is draped with soft green
malines and the large crown ia COM
pletely covered with clusters of as
beautiful morning glories as were ever
imagined in fairy dreams. They are
all shades and combinations with
here and there a 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
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, a
tall feather ornament made of I'M
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 a 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 decided tendency
to emphasize long features to 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
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
fVo1 ha ~ Cd 11171o
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 collar
less throat.
We are told that in gay Paris flop
py 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
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
a stiff hat. The broad brig that flops
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 It was Of white rice straw with
wide brim faced with taupe velvet.
The low round crown was simply
trimmed with a 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 tagaa
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
a hard live dye that might be men
toned in the class with emerald and
Russian greens. Another fashionab BILE
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 brim and with little or
no trimming, they are eccentric look
ing, to say the least. The black and
gray straws in this shape look
good deal like stovepipes and with
the stiff brush-like ornaments that are
in use on them, one can think of moth
ing than a piece of stovepipe ready to
have the SCOT swept out. Such hats
are worn we'll over the head with no
hair showing at ALL as are also many
