Little clusters and sprays of fruits trim many of these simpler summer hats, often supply the needed dash of strong color and again show only soft fruity tones subdued by a silvery bloom.

They are somber in co1or-bIack, browns and beetroot being popular for the early hats. White is not the vogue that it has been in the early seasons, but black and white seem even more favored. Dress hats are low and broad, shown in pastel shades, cham pagne being the most widely used. Fancy ribbon is the keynote of mil linery trimming - tapestries, picot edges. grosgrains, heavy satins, double facings showing one color on one side

 The practical woman will welcome the black satin model. It is not so popular as velvet, but it has luster enough not to look dull and somber, and it adapts itself to any costume, and the designers have done delightful things with it. It comes in sailor shapes.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.
There was much speculation on all
sides tonight as to the probable course
of the President should Carranza or
der an attack on General Pershing's
mon in the face of the American gov
ernment's solemn warning. 1t was
generally believed that the hint CON
tanned in Secretary LansinE's note that
military occupation of northern Mexi-
co had been considered as an alterna-
tive at times when the situation be
yond the border appeared critical,
might indicate the plan of action
should war now be forced on the ma
ton. 1t was regarded as possible that
general advance from the border to
a limo paralloling the head of General
PershinE's column at Namiqupa
might bc undertaken. With American
forces disposed along such n line hold
ing important towns and strategic
points from the Pacific to the gulf
