overlapping straw has a slight tam
look.
Satin and straw make a. good COM
hination. Dark blue satin appears TO
excellent advantage when placed on b
fiat wide frame with a straw facing
under the brim. The satin is placed
at the back in high puffs which add
height and dignity to the smart cha
peau.
As yet tho little taffeta hats are
somewhat in the background, though
doubtless they will be extensively used
later on. as women are just learning
the art OF embroidering them at homo
with the bright and gay colored threads
so much seen during the winter. The
heavy, rough straws have superseded
the wide brimmed taffetas, at least for
the moment. One Of these, still of the
popular sailor shape, is Of bright mig
nonette green in a satin basket weave.
The only trimming Is placed directly
in front and shows a small basket
made OF the straw which forms the
nat and out OF which rises a quaint
little bouquet of blossoms done in the
wool threads of many colors.
Later on many little hats OF dimity,
organdie, lawn and linen will appear

bonnets seen in ages and made OF
white crossbarred muslin in poke CT

ere used to trim these and tie in n

this summer hat is an inheritance
from the days Of the befriled lingerie
bat or garden hat, as the wide fioppy
brimmed ones were called. It is very
new and very smart to have ones
small hat made of the same material
as ones frock.

wide brimmed petal effects forming

used on wide sailor with a higher
crown that most have. Dark blue
taffeta is tho material. and the only
trimming Is one very large rose with
wide petals placed directly in front.
The silken rose has she'd some of its
