and net hats for summer wear manu-
facturers are now making headgear
of silks and satins.
Large hats of pongee, TO be worn
with pongee suits, are seen, and
similar ones in foulard to match
the foulard costumes. These silks
are not shirTed on the frame, for
that would make the hat too bulky.
Instead, they are stretched tightly
over the shape and glued by a pro-
cess known only to the initiated. AS
these hats cannot be made by the
home milllner they are an expensive
commodity, as costly as they are
attractive
Ostrich plumes, once considered to
belong to winter millinery especial
ly, arc worn as much I'm summer as
I'm winter now. The lightest of horse
hair hats may be entirely covered
with feather strips from the desert
bird and be an object of admiration
to enyious beholders. When the
whole hat is not covered with them
it is the style at present to put the
plumes we'll at the back of the hat,
where they bob and nod with every
movement of the wearer's head.
This is true not only for the
large, flaring hats, but for the high
turbans that are worn cooked over
one eye-for that is where the smart
est turbans are supposd to rest.
