mountain leghorns" for those that
are looking for cheaper hats and great
numbers OF canvas weaves, pretty and
inexpensive. that will last out the
season with some care.
The rough straws are trimmed with
ribbon or silk arranged IN the sim.
plest of drapes and rosettes. Milans
are finished with velvet ribbon as
rule and the canvas hats or those Of
smoothly woven straw are finished
with a plain fold OF silk or band of
narrow ribbon about the crown and
a rosette of fancy silk or straw braid
at the side. A pretty quill or two is
often added
In all of these hats the crowns are
large enough to fit quite comfortable
on the head. Brims nearly all droop,
even though there be an upward roll
toward the brim-edge. They are kept
on the head by an elastic band which
passes under the hair.
Flowers or any fragile trimmings
are out of place on such hats. Only
the simplest and most durable Of
decorations are to be considered. Ex-
cellent examples of such millinery are
pictured here. but with apologies to
milliners and to manufacturers), they
do not equal the dear. old-fashioned
sun.bonnet in adaptation to their use
nor even in charm. Nevertheless they
are attractive and good.
