need FOR MANY HATS
Millinery NOW SIMPLY MUST
MATCH THE COSTUME.
Little Need, However, for an Extrava-
CANT Outlay Of Money, as Most Of
Them May Be Made at Homo
and Are Not Costly.

How often is the tout ensemble of
voman's dress spoiled entirely, not by
my cheapness of the component parts
,r any lack of the correct lines, ma
:erials and trimmings, but by the
wrong combination of hat and gown!
Candidly, now, do you not see many
women on the street, in the theater
and at other occasions that fill our
calendar in the summer months. who
have a startling ignorance of the eter-
nal fitness of things? There's the
woman who buys one expensive hat
md then throws up her hands In de-
spair-and goes out clad inappropri-
ately. >
The sailor hat in its stiff, conven-
tional tailored style should be worn
with a tailored suit. It gives a de-
lightful completeness and is becom-
ing. In this season of the sailor do
not become unduly enthusiastic and
thereby overdo the matter.
With the lingerie dress there is an
other appropriate type of hat. 1t Is
the lingerie hat. This you can fire.
quently make by using up the odd
pieces Of your dress. or buying en-
broidery and making simple frilled
hat over a wire or buckram frame.
The lingerie hat Of fllmy fabrics such
as lace, mousseline, chiffon with CON
trasting undertaking, is ON. the. crest
Of the millinery wave Any one can
make this kind of hat.
For the linen dress there is a linen
hat, one of the many fabric hats ia
vored by fashion for summer. This,
too, can be made of linen left over
from the dress with which it Is worn.
A buckram frame can be covered with
plain linen. The crown is then GOV.
cred with circular piece, pleated in
at tho bottom. At one side place q
wing Of embroidery made over wire
and carrying out successfully the idea
Of trimming on the dress. If you wish
to buy this type of hat, take plenty
Of money with you, for it is expensive
II you are clever, you will make one
to match your gown.
:: Last Of all. We must consider the
correct hat with the evening gown. It
is the large straw shape trimmed with
plumes. Paris is going wild over
plumes for formal occasions. You need
not lose your head, but you can trim
a hat with plumes left over from the
winter. They are placed anywhere
Bunches are perched high at the front
or side and long plumes are wreathed
around q crown.

LATEST FEATURES OF
BODICES AND WAISTS

NOTHING has been found to bring the

The peplum or basque effect on the sep

a fancy for brilliant colors in cuffs. these

There is an extensive use made of the
large simulated buttonhole on waists, or
the actual buttonhole bound in color. An
other novelty Is the pear-shaped drop

these buttonhole siashes. 1t is a pretty
fashion. Sometimes small tassel orna-
