in midsummer millinery lies in its
width of brim, and there are three
widths to choose from. They are wide,
wider, widest. The hats shown in the
illustration are far from extremes and
they are very pleasing developments
of three entirely different styles.
The pretty model at the center is a
hemp shape with low crown and fiat
brim only moderately wide. It is coy
cred with crepe georgette and trimmed
with crepe roses all in pale tones Of
shell pink. The tilmiest of black mesh
veiis is draped over it, and this with
a narrow band of black velvet draped
at the base of the crown gives an at
tractive depth Of color. A wreath of
roses rests on the hair in a prim row
set close to the underbrim.
At the left an odd development of
the "cane-seat' hat lends daintiness
to the substantial but cool,lOOking
shape. The brim is edged with lace
hair braid and outlined on the under
side with lines Of French blue. Picot-
