One Of the prettiest sets we have
seen is faithful copy Of madam's.
The color scheme is lobster pink,
which has taken the place Of coral.

I Greatly Varied Question.
The question of hats is varied one.
This season there are hats for every
body, and prices to suit the purchas-
err There Is no end to oddities in the
new models, and almost everything is
shown from jockey. witch and clown
shapes to the traditional helmet, cav
aler, empire and Victorian styles. All
these and many others are fashioned
of coarse straws, tagal and hemp
braids The coarse straws are so ex-
ceedingly coarse that little trimming
is required to make the finished hat
becoming. Many such models are
trimmed with severe little bow or
chou made of satin or velvet and
placed In some unusual position. These
and other styles are ideal for wear
with tailor-made costumes, while the
Victorian styles seem to be the only
thing for the quaint little summer
frocks of prints and border effects.
Among the novelties Is shown
piquant model labeled Vatican"
The shape turns up dehantly at the
back, and Is heralded as one OF the
most popular shapes al the French
Riviera, where smart summer fashions
annually receive their christening. A
number OF the becoming dress hats
have brims of shrred tule with
spring flowers trimming them the en-
tire surface. The facing very often 10

trasting color. stunning hat shaped
on the order of the mushroom model
was made in direct contrast to con-
ventionalties. Instead of the flowers
being on the top. they were employed
ne the facing to the underbrim, while
the top of the chapeau was left com
paratively plain. with nothing but a
bit of shirred chiffon over the crown
and brim The flowers under the
brim we're simple field daisies, and the
effect was novel and wonderfully be-
coming.
"Poke" Effect Is Good.
The close fitting hat Ia mode as
shown In its best FORM has acquired
decided poke that is equal to quite
ravishing effects If worn over pretty
face The smartest Of these models
are perfectly fiat over the front OF the
head and the back has variety Of
ways OF extending the hair and ears.
A fetching poke.toque of this order

with bread front expanse of plain
back hemp The only trimming con.

the quaintest arrivals OF returned
fashions. There are endless varieties

white coarse straw with the crown

the front and faced with royal bite
