Have you a box of odds and ends
of laces, ribbon silk and embroidery?
If so take down the supply and make
use of a little natural c~leverness in
faGhioning a summer hat that will
spell style in capital letters and cost
in the smallest type.
There have been offered some of
the most attractive models hat rely
on ingenuity mainly and on small
pieces of embroidery and wash fab
RIGS. The types are so varied that all
wearers should be suited. The beauty
that characterizes these remnant
hats if we may call them such, is
that of simplicity. 1t is, therefore,
easily copied.
One lovely white hemp model has a
trimming of two lace butterflies made
from small pieces of allover yalen-
eiennes. The wings are wired on the
edge with fine milliner's wire and
then bound with narrow grosgrain
ribbon. The oval bodies of the orna-
ment are of cotton covered with lace.
These two lace butterflies are posed
on one side of the hat on the crown.
The upturned brim is all. that is done
to make the hat a becoming shape to
| almost any face.
The return OF eyelet embroidery has
found a prominent field for decora-
ton in millinery. Bands of scalloped
insertion and embroidery are incor-
porated with linen, soft silk, figured
batiste and null, and the combina-
ton gives the daintiest lingerie hat
imaginable.
One stunning model has a puffed
crown of pale rose t~affeta, the full
ness of which is held in at the base
by eyelet insertion two inches in
width. The upper surface of the brim
is covered with eyelet embroidery and
a pink rose is placed at one side on
top. Underneath is a facing of pink
mousseline, with a rose band that
raises the hat slightly from the hair.
From the remnant box can be made
a flat hat that has a covering of
Powered batiste. This is pleated in
half-inch folds and overs the crown.
1t extends down over the brim in a
loose pleated rufle. Under the brim
is a large fiat empire bow of narrow
green ribbon, shirred on each edge.
The bow can be as large as the piece
of ribbon in the box will permit.
If you have made a pretty embroid-
cred or dotted swiss frock use the
leftover pieces in trimming a hat to
be worn with the costume. A faded
| or sunburned hat can be covered and
trimmed so that it will present an en-
tirely new effect. The swiss can be
stretched tightly over the crown and
brim. A binding of silk or velvet will
conceal the edges, and silk roses or
| possibilities in white or black satin
can be made and placed in a wreath
or in single beauty ON the brim. >
If your remnant box holds any of
the old-fashioned ribbon with the
picot edge bring it out, for it is one
Fof the latest revivals. 1t is used as
bindings, as wired and soft bows on
hats and as underbrim facings.
| Bands Of this quaint ribbon are
plated and stitched, then laid around
the crown or upon the upper surface
of a brim. Silk roses, formed of over
Tapped loops of this picot ribbon, take
us back to grandmother's time.
From the remnant box take out
the short length of fine embroidered
batiste founcing. If you wish it
colored dye it, for it will need no
washing and will complete the charm
of a summer frock in the latest style.
Seam the end, gather the top so that
it can be caught under a silk button
and slip on the cover, over a low,
wide straw hat. Lay the ruffie in
pleats over the crown n stitch in
place. keeping the button on the CEN
tire of the crown. Tack down the
outer edge of the embroidered rufHe.
and there you are with the prettiest
lingerie hat imaginable at the cost
Of little time.
Wheels Of lace are simple trim
mings for small hats. Cords and rib
bons can be pleated in TO form fans,
half circles and buckles. Braid and
: beads are woven on rafia and fash
