Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1910-05-22

hand embroidered and edged with narrow
valencennes.
Little clusters of artificial flowers or
ribbon flowers appear upon some of the
bonnets chiefly upon those made of chif-
fon, silk mousseline and lace, and certain
flowers have a babyish air, but many
mothers oppose artificial flowers for baby
wear despite the French designers sanction
of the association. Eorget-me-not tiny
rose buds or button rose and pink-tipped
English daisies are the favorite baby
flowers when flowers are used at all and
though other blossoms are seen upon
French bonnets and hats none seems as
appropriate as these three.
BABY Irish lace enters into the compost
ton of some of the baby bonnets, and
pretty, close fitting models are made with
the round back or crown formed entirely
of the finest real baby Irish lace made
for the purpose while the rest of the
bonnet is formed Of soft frills of narrow
valenciennes.
When the small girl is promoted to hats
new possibilities open up before her. Lin
gerie hats there are galore many with the
familiar full crown and shirred, corded
frilled or plain dropping brim. others made
more on mushroom lines. Some of the
latter in hand embroidered linen made
over a corded frame and trimmed in knots
of ribbon and garlands of tiny flowers are
as dainty and charming as anything Of
fered, and the more usual full crown shape
attains great variety through clever origin
ality Of detail.
| Some sweet simple little models in this
fclass are made of swiss or linen dotted in
pink or light blue. The fun crown Is UNI
trimmed, the brim is scalloped and button
holed in the color of the hat and falls over
a frill of lace and liberty in the color of
the dots is folded round The crown and
knotted at the side.
The simple hats in straw with bowl
crown and brim that can be turned down
or rolled up sharply are in evidence again
and are still among the best of the simple
straw shapes They are made, too, in
corded lingerie with scarf bands of liberty
or of gay Roman stripe ribbon
Pretty little hat of this and other sim
pie shapes are made up in supple, coarse
straw braids, combining pink and white
or light blue and white and are trimmed
in ribbon and flowers matching the color
IN the straw. The gauzs straws, light,
fine and supple, as their name implies. and
almost as easy TO drape and handle as
souso iNStlAt are NIap~u INTO lull crowns
for hats and bonnets and used more
plainly for the brims, and these braids
are combined freely with chiffon, silk
mousSeline or lace.
Some OF the fine, lacy Tuscan braids
are made up with chiffon or mousseline
for The small girls wear and for the
girls Of or 7FyeaTs OF more are pfquant
bonnets or hats, dish-shaped, coming down
close over the head and around the face,
like many of the bizarre small hats for
grown-ups, and turned up at the bottom
In the back so as to fit the back of the
neck comfortably. Two small girls on the
avenue the other day wore such bonnets
in rough, shiny, dark blue straw.
From the edge of the brim flat band
Of antique pranted cotton in soft, dull
blues and rose tones and white extended
back upon the bonnet for at least five
inches, and at the back the bottom Of the
bonnet rolled up flat against the crown
for few inches and was faced with dull
blue. The description does not convey any
idea Of the charm OF the quaint little bon
nets, and oddly enough the effect was ex.
