Greatly Varied Question.


The question of hats is varied one.
This season there are hats for every
body, and prices to suit the purchas-
er. 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
alier, 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 a 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 a
piduant model labeled "Watteau."
The shape turns up defantly at the
back, and is heralded as one of the
most popular shapes at the French
Riviera, where smart summer fashions
annually receive their christening A
number of the becoming dress hats
have brims Of shirred tulle with
spring flowers trimming them the en-
tire surface The facing very often is
of a different color and is of chiffon or
mousseline; sometimes over a con-
trasting color. A 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
as 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 were simple field daisies. and the
effect was novel and wonderfully be-
coming.
"Poke" Effect 10 Good.
The close fitting hat la mode, as
shown in its best form, has acquired |
decided poke that is equal to quite
ravishing effects If worn over a pretty |
face The smartest of these models |
ere 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 |
seen the other day was made of |
striped black and white satin braid |
with a broad front expanse of plain |
black hemp The only trimming con-
sisted of huge bow of black and |
white striped velvet ribbon edged with /
bright green. At the sides were two |
rather large cobochons of jet. and |
across the top of the crown is another |
jet ornament running from front to
back.
Novelties OF all kinds are crop /
ping out this season. Strings that actu- /
ally tie on the hat are found among /
the ouaintest arrivals Of returned /
fashions. There are endless varieties /
of Napoleon shapes and all sorts of /
picturesque broad brims. An extreme /
lv becoming Napoleon is in black and /
white coarse straw with the crown |
and brim in one. turned sharply from /
the front and faced with royal blue t
satin. while the rest Of the trimming |
consisted Of blue silk cords with silver /
acorns finishing the ends. And back |
Of the broad turnover brim were two /
enormous sized quilts, made OF single
ostrich feathers curled close to the
stem. These we're in the same shade
