BLACK SATIN HAT RETAINED
Though White Seems to Be Coming
Favorite Color, Yet This Style
Is Always Smart.

While colors are to be rampant this
year and spread themselves over the
world like gorgeous sunset or rain
bow. yet the tiny black satin hat is to
be very smart indeed. The woman
who is in doubt what to choose when
she is bewildered by the sulphur, pur.
pie, bronze and red shades offered
ward conservatism and choose a hat
of black satin that has little trimming
and owes its beauty to its shape.
Such hats are not what they used
to be. They are distinctly of this sea
son. The shape is rather stiff with a
low crown and a two-inch brim which
rolls slightly back at the edges; over
this the satin is stretched and finished
at the seams with a cord or piping
There are no folds or bows or full
crown bands; all is as smooth and de-
mure as a mans silk hat. The trim.
ming is placed fiat on the brim and is
made up of any kind of feather that
has spirals and looks struggling and
careless.
The best known choice is feather
called numidie and which Is more or
less expensive and very fashionable
The peacock feathers are on this or
der and that is one of the reasons
why they have returned to favor.
Straw and wheat are also used, and
whatever does not lie fiat on the brim

BLOUSE CUT IN ONE PIECE
One of TuIIe Valenciennes Is Made
With Neither Trimming Nor
Fullness.

The newest cream white blouses are
more plain than ever. The prettiest
are tulle valenciennes, or kind of
soft point d'esprit with figures like
those in the valenciennes design. One
blouse of this material has not the
slightest trimming or fullness except
in the back, where there is a tiny bit
to cover the opening and make it look
like a narrow plat. The entire thing
is made in one piece, the sole garnish
being little button studs of black vel
vet in two rows at the throat, both
back and front, and on the wrists.
The neck is cut low and round, with
cording of the lace in three rows.
A noticeable feature of this blouse,
which was designed in a house in the
Place Vendome and intended for the
Riviera, is the sleeves made all in one
piece, with no extensions whatever. 1t
is as though the entire thing had been
nodded together. No doubt the styles
for the coming season will adopt ideas
seen in this blouse. We have arrived
at a period when cuts and finishes are
at their cresendo of plainness. Moth
ing further is possible because effects
could not possibly be any more rigid
or simple.

Curtains of Fine Net.

It has always been possible tc get
coarse nets in crude colors. This year
one of the fine nets has appeared in
soft artistic shades that are delight
to the eye; old blue, mulberry, brown,
light blue, and pink are a few Of the
colors. 1t is so inches wide and sells
for SO cents a yard 1t will make
satisfactory substitute for two sets
of curtains, combining the transpar-
ency of the white net and the color OF
silk or linen, says a writer for the
Pictorial Review The bungalow nets,
also colored, are very effective. The
designs are large and there are usu-
ally two colors in the design. One
is gold and cream, another brown and

another blue and ecru, etc. These

The apology yelled a command.

and scarcely pleased.
She deliberately stepped down be-
side him, accompanied by the crisp
sound of shaken silk and drift OF
faint, rich fragrance. She wore
dark motor-veil, and In the mingling
