spring ana early summer, II
- one excepts the enormously tall,
high-crowned tailored models trim
ed with towering bows Of ribbon or
-iodding roses which marked the
Z first weeks of the season. These have
given a certain character to the 1916
spring, but as warmer weather ad-
vances the tendency seems to be to-
ward hats of lower crown and wider
brim-styles of more picturesque
quality in short; which is quite as it
should be. for summer is the time Of
times for lovely picture hats!
Perhaps the most notable feature in
millinery now is the use of textiles.
not only in trimmings but for whole
crowns and brims; and indeed many
ff the new hats are entirely covered
with textile fabric which may be any,
thing from costly Chinese embroidery
to modest striped linen at twenty five
cents the yard. 1t is the sport hat,
naturally that takes to itself linen
covering, but there are many models
for formal and dress wear that show
silks, satins and other rich fabrics in
combination with straw: or used all
by themselves. OF the latter sort IL
very stunning model by Georgette.
the brim of peacock blue straw braid
in narrow, overlapping rows. and the
crown of satin in the same shade
with embroideries in various colors.
The top of the crown is oblong and
the satin. is sewed to this oblong
Icrown with an over and over button
Mole stitch done with bronze silk floss.
There are five rows of buttonholing
around the crown. joining strips of the
satin. one row in plum color, another
In old pink, another in gold, and so on.
Peacock Blue Favored Shade.
1t is surprising how much peacock
blue one sees in the new millinery
1t is deep, greenish blue which one
calls peacock for want of another
nape-there may be some special
French cognomen for It, but peacock
is the shade 1t most resembles. Lewis
has evolved stunning creation OF
shirred black tulle whose piece de re-
sistence is 4 great dragon fly wrought
,.yth blue and green beads which is
)ised over the front of crown and
1rim. A frill of the black tulle fut-
other frill stands crisply up from the
high crown. For wear with this i'm
posing hat the millner recommends
earrings with pendants Of blue and
green stones set in pearls. There Is
an art in choosing earrings to match
the hat--nothing gives woman
more complete effect of chic than this
clever little touch of matching ear
rings. If there is a cockade of blue
ribbon on the hat and eyes and ear
rings are blue also, the effect Is en-
trancing.
. Odette has a wonderful black tulle
model, the tulle draped without shir-
ring over n low-crowned, wide -brim-
med picture shape of leghorn. A tiny
frill of the tulle stands out beyond
the brim and is caught to 1t by a mar
row band of jet sewed to a band of !
peacock blue ribbon. At the brim's
edge also are two pink roses with |
black and peacock blue leaves
Tullc Sprouts From Tall Crowns.
Height Is added to height by ad-
ding outstanding pleatlngs of tulle to |
tall hat crowns, the tulle appearing |
TO sprout from the inside of the hat |
in some miraculous manner. This ef-
feet is illustrated in the hat of braided |
black straw with a narrow mushroom
brim Of wired black tulle, and a wide
pleated frill of the tulle rising from
tfrs crown. Braided straw is excess
sively fashionable this season and ON
hat of this sort it can be easily
managed, even by tyro in the mil
linery art. The straw is braided sep
arately and then tackled lightly to the
hat. A piece of stout crinolne is cut
first, and fitted around the tall crown,
Then the crinoline is pinned out on
tbs table and the straw braided over
it, the ends being folded over the
edges Of the crinoline strip. The
whole strip may then be easily at
tached to the hat frame. Do not try
to wrestle with straw braiding unless
you have patience and steady nerves
for the many lengths of straw, each
one starting to fray out at its ends,
ayeArather troublesome to manage. In
any event purchase generous guam
tity Of straw so that you need not do
your braiding with short pieces. After
the ends of the braided section have
been turned under on the wrong side
and tackled In place, the raveled and
