SOLVES THE HAT QUESTION
Clever Girl Works Transformation
That Can Be Followed by Any
ingenious Woman.

There is a clever girl working In
one of the government departments al
Washington who has satisfactorily
solved the question OF summer hats.
First she bought as nice hat as she
could afford; it is a soft straw braid
In the natural color, made over n
frame that exactly suited her face AMI
hair Then for business wear 1t Is
trimmed with fold of black velvet
around the crown. with "a broad wired
how at one side This trimming Is
entirely made up and finished. so that
II can be easily removed and as easily
nut back on again.
The second set of trimmings Is a
wreath of beautiful. roses and green
leaves The flowers are a soft dell,
cato mink. of an exquisite shade, to
wear with light dresses, and the third
cot Of trimming consists of scarf
Of brilliant peoples. which is used on
the hat when it Is to be worn on trips
or excursioins.. Surely this Idea

BRAID ON LATEST COATS
Collar and Cuffs Followed in Outline
by Narrow Seif-Colored

Many of the new tailored suits for

which is so popular, false collar OF

The typical coat of this sort was seen
recently, loose hip-length jacket
with V-shaped vest, sailor collar fin
ished by silk tie, and row of mar
row self-colored braiding. about Ave

the same way.
The great number OF rufiles which
have appeared as notifications of the
