or white straw and finish il with fat
pump bow. This is the kind of trimming
that the amateur always delights in, be-
cause il can be bought at the counter
and put in place Al home.
What would you think OF having a two.

and pressed into place IN exact imitation

that is a new fashion. IL has made its
appearance on very soft gowns OF bro
caded crepe de chine and satin and IL
will probably work Its way into the
tailored gowns where ii belongs.
Probably il was not done TO further
women in their desire to initiate the az
parel OF man. but for the more sensible
reason OF keeping the heels from kick
ing out the bottom of the skirt The
long. narrow garment clings TO the feet
and as the wearer walks the heel nat
urally pulls il down and tears II apart
This has been the trouble ever since
women have worn the long variety ~
narrow skirt: the upturned hem IL the
result of clever thought on the subject.
So far. II appears only at the back and
sides and shapes of to nothing in front.
but on walking skirts II may he placed
all around, OF even depth, and featured
as q novelty.
The crownless hat is becoming well
known. although it is not widely known.
Even in New York. where all the novel;
ties are tried out quickly. only a few
women go abroad with a coronet brim
around their heads trimmed at the bach
with two long quilts. or possibly with
lace veil thrown backward.
The same may not be said OF the hat.
which is covered with net, for IL has
grown suddenly popular. Sometimes
there is no crown, and the net is pleated
again there is complete hat OF straw
with pleated net over all of II, or over
the brim alone.
The newest white hat is of straw with
fiat sailor crown and a brim entirely
covered with net which is pressed into
half pleats. and, mark this well. il
extends beyond the brim for an inch.
This is a new trick in millinery which
you must not lose sight of when choos
ing or arranging your summer hats. The
me Is done in black net and straw in
more ornate manner. There is an allur-
ing tricorne shape, which is softer than
usual in its lines and has a brim only
about two inches vide: the net is laid
in fiat pleats over the whole hat and
flares up beyond the brm and surrounds
the face like an aureole.
There is no touch OF color on any ~
these hats, for the all-black hat IL i'm
mensely liked, no matter how much the
mininers were against it; and the early
summer has brought in a fashion for
the all-uhite hat for informal wear The
straight sailor shape is revived In il. and
the only trimming is this fat pleating OF
white net over the brim.
Garden hats have come back into fash
ion with the opening of the summer sea
son and they are lavishly trimmed with
roses. whichjs as 1t should be. for flow
ers are the natural ornaments to use
for hot weather. The method OF wiring q
single full-bloun rose to stand erect on
a green stem with leaves has received
more attention this year than il did three
summers ago. when ii was first invented.
Today there are ultra-sma hats in
black. which fit the head like Turkish
turban and have their only trimming
huge American beauty rose wired
straight up the front for six inches. there
are large white hats trimmed with a
wreath OF pink roses and wired stalk
of three roses standing at the side.
The beauty of the latter lies in the
trick Of letting the roses droop in differ
ent directions so that the effect may be
one of natural growth.
