CANDY or of combination of straw
braids and fabrics.
Flowers are much used on these hats
as well as ribbon streamers and crown
bands. Often large flower motif
made of long-fued ostrich in delicate
flower tint Stimulating a chrysanthe
mum. camelia or marguerite is fiat
ly applied to the hat brim. Four or
FIVE usually form wreath about the
brim of large shape.
Other trimming effects are huge
wings and huge flat-looped bows of
wide ribbon. Instead of soaring up
ward, the trimming now goes to the
other extreme, spreading out fatty over
both sides of the hat brim. The tall
woman with an oval face will receive
this change with enthusiasm and the
woman who wishes to acquire height
may achieve the long line by raising
the hat brim at the back and posing
the trimming so that it shoots out di
agonally at the side.
These wide brimmed hats are fully in
keeping with the fullskirted. frilly
dress styles of the hour. In fact. the
entire fashion era from 1900 to 1870
Is represented in summer millinery.
The directoire bonnet will be worn
with dainty frocks. Quaint pokes III
delicate colorings made up in plateaux
of silk horsehair braid and yelled with
tulle. trimmed with dainty touches of
pastel coiored roses and streamers of
velvet ribbon, are charming for the
summer season. Leghorn hats viii be
seen with masses of pink roses and
beautiful laces Many of these hats
are trimmed up at the back, and their
picturesqueness accumulated by stream
ers of soft ribbon.
There are very few summer hats
which do not show flowers in one form
or another. Even ostrich-trimmed hats
! and those with wing or quill trimmin *
are often finished with u small clust err
of flowers. Shepherdess sailors for
street wear are trimmed with large
wings in either solid color or two
contrasting tones. Entire birds are
also an effective garniture on these
hats. Quilts are much used on all sailor
hats. Ribbons are also used on these
hats Frequently the ribbon is drawn
around the crown. and in the center
front it is wired and raised in stiff,
outstanding bow.

A rockery OF white blossoms is espe-

BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

1t is one of the important features
of the fashions that, with all the ten
dency to frills and furbelows, there is
usually a symmetrical arrangement of
trimming. This prevents the general
ensemble from assuming the miXed-up
appearance that might result if this
rule were not observed. There are, in
the achievement of such "balance," in
numera BILE subtle details that. though
they tax the ingenuity of the designer,
perhaps, to the uttermost. pass I'M
noticed or at least unappreciated by
the casual observer.
Combinations and blending of colors
and materials require careful manipu-
lation if they are to be successful. any
incidental trimming should be of such
nature as to preserve the intended
character of the lines of costume.
