Designs Are Made With Gown
Material for Trimming.

Hats are the most perishable things
in woman's wardrobe. and SO
headgear often needs TO be renewed
before the summer IS over. Those
who can afford toreplace the old with
new are fortunate, but those who can
make their own hats will find 1t
great saving Of money to get up some
thing at home.
One of the most useful fads OF the
summer for the home milliner is the
use OF gown material for trimming.
A number OF the outing hats of linen.
rata. batavia and peanut braid are
very simply trimmed with a scarf Of
the same goods used for the little coat
frocks worn with them. The sequence
between the headpiece and costume Is
very neat and pretty, and as the scarf
is merely tied around the crown. with
bow at the back or left side. the
process of trimming is not matter
for worry. For young girls who look
well In such shapes big fat crowned
sailor may be made OF a plain linen
and a Powered cretonne or Persian
cotton. The shop hat in these mate.
rails will have the crown glued over
tightly with the figured material and
the brim covered with 1t down to
about two inches of the edge. This
and the facing of the hat are in the
natural linen of the hat shape
Linen hats in these shapes may
often be found and they may be MADE
lighter by cutting out the crown and
putting in another in the same shape

tirely over this. with the edges run
ming down over the brim. gay cotton
or silk handkerchief would be put by
the up-to-date girl, for such a method
OF trimming is now regarded as very
stylish.
A hat Of drawn net made over a
wire frame. which would go appropri-
ately with foulard frock. could have
bias edges and a chou of immense size
of the same silk. The addition OF a
rose would give It the true milliner
look for the modiste always gives an
extra little touch to these homemade
looking hats. Some trimmings for the
coarsest straw hats are Of the rudest
description-wide scarfs OF linen so
rough that 1t seems like canvas, and
this patched over at the ends with one
or more bias bands of Powered cot

a scarf of linen as coarse as gunny
sacking and figured cotton bands in
the most dazzling blue. AS the trim
ming was all very stiff. 1t was put
primly about the crown, with an i'm
mense tailored bow at the side.
More dressy styles may be made OF
lowered chiffon and plain taffeta,
these materials in bright or delicate
colors providing the smartest that can
be had for the midsummer frock In
airy materials. A superb hat worn at
recent affair was Of chantecler red
chiffon figured with a deeper red
mingled with smoky blue. 1t was in
the shape OF huge sailor. The chif-
fon was shirred with cords over wire

the usual manner. but finely plated
and edged in turn with neat plain
bias. The very edge of the hat had
this double treatment of the silk. and
it showed up most artistically in the
wide band and bow. Although the
price paid for this hat was $40. 1t
could be made at home for four.
