lines of the headgear accord with the
loose. informal lines of the wolfe tunic,
and the white hat throws into higher
relief the rich colors of the Oriental
trimming. These tunic blouses are
very popular for afternoon bridge
parties of an informal. nature. In
hip-length tunic Of the sort, one feels
better dressed, even though ones skirt
be simple and plain, than in a blouse
ending at the belt line. The pocket
flaps rising from the loose belt offer
opportunity for additional trimming
with the gay embroidery.
Black Bridge Hats with Sheer
Blouscs.
Every afternoon affair this season
shows a fair sprinkling of black hats,
and the bridge party is no exception.
Black hats noted at these functions
are picture. models of black tulle, or
rather simple mushroom shapes of
fine straw, trimmed with wide black
ribbon made into a fat, tailored bow
across the front. With thin white
dresses of organdy or Georgette, or
with sheer blouses in white or flesh
tint. these black hats are most eff
fective. A stunning black hat noted
recently was in wide-brim mushroom
shape covered over the crown and
brim--to within two inches Of the
edge-with wide black velvet ribbon,
one strip overlapping the next. A big
bow of the ribbon was laid across the
| top of the crown with projecting loops
at back and front. Another black
mushroom, made of fine Milan straw.
was covered over crown and part of
brim with white taffeta silk. the silk
crown much pulled and the brim fac
ing fiat and ending under a narrow
strip of silver lace. At the front of
the puffed white SILK crown was a
white rose with silver frosted leaves.
This hat accompanied summer frock
of black and white cross-barred wolfe
worn by a woman just emerging from
mourning. Black pumps with white
stockings finished the costume.
Picture Hats OF Fabric And Straw.
Elaborate costumes, Of course. de-
mand elaborate hats; and sometimes
an elaborate blouse, accompanied by
a very chic hat makes one look ex.
pensiveiy dressed, even though the
blouse tops off a very plain separate
skirt. At any rate, striking picture
hats are worn at afternoon bridge at
| fairs and the dropping brim seems tc
be the favorite, this year; few tri-
cornes. bicornes or dashing roll-brim
shapes are seen now that June days
have come. All the hats are sport

a summer gown of pale lavender wolfe
embroidered with soutache in deeper
