A smart hat for serge and linen suits
Is Of white Milan straw. The medium
sized bim droops somewhat and rolls at
the edge. turning up quite sharply on the
left side; here wing is placed at saucy
angle. standing out from the hat.
The woman who would like to trim her
own hats, but feels somewhat nervous
about attempting them. need have no
hesitancy about trimming the mid-sum-
mer styles. 1t is little difficult to face
hat smoothly and evenly. but it can be
done with patience. Any millinery shop
will tell you how much material is required
for facing for your hat When you face
the entire brim YOU must have your ma
terial fold in square; that is determined
by the width Of the fabric. For instance,
il your satin is ~ inches wide, you will
need twenty-seven inches or three-quar-
tiers of yard. Place the center Of the
satin over tn. center Of the head space
and smooth out the satin on the under
brim. sticking pin in hare and there.

Bordered fabrics Of this latter sort are
exceedingly beautiful, and the eyelet en-
broidered marquisettes and voiles make
the daintiest possible summer gowns,
while embroidered Swiss muslins, batistes
and the like are greatly in vogue and are
especially well adapted to the younger
contingent. Flouncing, arranged over

they hang well, are good in color as well AZ
design, and are well worth buying in
preference to the more expensive fabrics
that only make the gown 50 costly as to
be inappropriate for what it is intended
a simple evening gown.
There are many different colorings and
designs this year. The black background
with bright colors is made up over a white
lining and looks light and transparent.
Then there are the plain blues and pink
with contrasting colored flowers. These
can also be made up over the same color
as the background Of the material or
over white; the white giving, as has been
said, a Gghtness and transparency, but If a
more solid background is desired it must
match the chiffon. The girdle and sash
should be the color Of the background,
rather than a different design. but here
again becomingness should be thought
Of and chosen accordingly. 1t must also
be remembered that this year more than
ever the black girdles and sashes are
smart, and black velvet ribbon on thin
gowns is always effective and at the
moment is supremely fashionable. 1t is
good plan with all gown. that are made
over satin or silk to have the overskirt
slashed in front or at the sides to show
the satin slip. For some unknown reason
this gives apparently an effect Of the
gown being rather handsomer and moro
elaborate.
The Washington herald., 1912-08-11

Basic the satin to the brim around the
edge, then cut it half-inch wider for a
turn-in, following the brim edge. Cut
out the satin over the head space and
make fat seam at the back to the edge
Of the brim. Sew all edges in blind stitch.
1t is quite simple thing to sew on a
fantasy, cover a crown with roses, or
tack on wing. but, Of course, you must
give touch Of smartness to the work.
The fuIled facing Of lacc Is much easier
to put On. Buy the lace the exact width

Il Is a season Of essentially feminine
effects, and everything that goes to make
up the ideally womanly idea Is in vogue. :
Sashes and girdles are really important.
and some very lovely costumes are shown
made Of white lingerie materials with
sashes Of colored chiffon. this chiffon
being knotted and bowed and allowed
to fall in long straight ends, and these
ends being finished with hens, either
simply hand-sewed or hemstitched. Cir

The Washington herald., 1912-08-11

Separate blouses are growing more in
favor each day. The lingerie blouse with
little trimming always looks dainty and
fresh with cloth or linen suit.
Blazer coats are quite the smart things
to wear with tennis, yachting, and golf
dresses, or with separate outing skirts
and mannish shirt-waists. There i, the
plain box coat with patch pockets and the
Norfolk design. The latter style is i'm
mensely popular. English broadcloth
flannel in navy-blue and white, and in
black-and-white stripe is the material
used. College enthusiasts choose their
college colors. Plain golf red or solid white
ones are smart. Then there is a heavier
material called Vicuna cloth which is very
warm and comfortable. 1t comes in
brown. gray. tan. red. navy-blue and
white.
Outing hats are made Of flannel to
match the blazer coat. Again a white
flannel or serge hat is worn with a striped
or solid red coat.
Both coats and hats are easy to make.

fiat tailor seams. A medium sized brim

smarrest modek have no trimming at all.
a few styles, however, in the solid color
have a band Of grosgrain ribbon and a
ribbon cockade matching the coat color.
Lace and embroidered surcoats are de-
cidedly more effective when worn with
perfectly plain skirts. Any trimming
whatsoever on the skirt detracts from the
beauty Of the coat and gives ar, ordinary
appearance to the costume. The skirts
can have uniquely cut seams. but no other
ornamentation.
Separate black coats Of satin, silk and
heavy chiffon are quite the rage They
are worn with all styles of lingerie frocks
