we hoped, in headwear
The wide brimmed hat in black
mafines Overlaid with lace has a small
crown and Is reported as forerunner
of this particular type for fall. The
brim is fiat as well as wide, and gives
the hat character, while the crown is
negligible-just crown that fits the
head-and nothing more, Lace and
folded bands of satin ribbon adorn 1t,
and at the front an odd half-wheei OF
goura feathers seems exactly the right
ornament In the right place
Just below, a white felt sailor, with
brim less wide and curying slightly
upward demonstrates the perennial
style Of the French idea in sailors.
A bow of black velvet ribbon is set be-
low the back brim and, for decora-
tion, transparent oak leaves of black
chiffon are laid fiat to the brim and a
double row of round pearl beads is set
against the crown
A combination of black straw braid,
of the shiny sort, and heavy white
linen makes up the third of these
smart hats. Its brlm Is the narrowest
of the three and its crown the most
ambitious as to size and trimming.
Even at that, 1t is simply trimmed
with small pair of outspread wings
in black. mounted fiat against the
brim, and q row Of crocheted balls

the tint of the flowers; for instance a

over pale pink pussy-willow silk a

with these pretty costumes, and the
sharp note of black seems to make
the soft colors of the organdie all the
