hats, II is true, but It would be futile
to say that they are going to be uni
versally adopted, because they are not
becoming to every woman. It means
"a great deal to a woman TO have
becoming hat. The whole world Is
likely to appear q little more pleasant
to her, and 1t certainly has an excel
lent effect on ner disposition.
In order to make 1t possible for
each woman to have her friends say,
"You could not have a more becoming
hat" we must have shapes, sizes and
trimmings suitable for the fluffy Golf
fure, for simple, smooth hairdressing
and for every type of face. And,
above all, there must be hats Of every
color, for color is very important in
making headgear becoming.
Then, they must not all be Of fab
ric. The fabric hat is excellent, and
at the moment is preferred to any
other but here again we must be care
full to avoid monotony-and a pretty
straw hat may be found much more
beautlfylng than one made of silk or
ribbon. We too often hear that "they
are wearing" such and such a thing.
For instance, "They are wearing fab
ric hats" But the woman who wants
to be individual and be becomingly
dressed will use her own Judgment
after having informed herself regard
ing the trend of fashion, and this sum-
mer she will take advantage Of the
great variety Of things offered her.
Large Proportions and Novel Types.
The thing that probably strikes the
eye first in viewing the new millinery
is that the dimensions Of hats in gen.
eral have increased. They are either
higher, broader, or both. Some Of the
real summary ones are Of huge pro-
portions. Among the small types are
two new forms recently launched at
Paris, in extraordinarily high crowned
effects after the 1880 style. These
are shown in dark hunters green
straw-and by the way, there is a
strong tendency toward these dark
greens in millinery.
One such model was trimmed with a
huge rosette of straw placed at the
side back, and another with tall up
standing quilts made of eagle feath-
ers. Ever so many smartly dressed
women are affecting these curious tall
crowned hats.
Next after the size one is impressed
by the lighter colors, especially. in the
nets, chiffons and organizes, which
are so suitable for hot weather.
Among the light colors are lovely
Parma violet shades anA soft citron
hues.
Lovely models of organdie may be
embroidered in many hues that are
in contrast to the color of the or
candle, but blend beautifully with it.
An example of this is seen in the en-
broldered hat.
Another charming model is devel-
oped IN mauve organdie and trimmed
with cherries in cerise and mauve. and
hat of blue georgetto crepe of a
soft shade with crown of dyed straw
lace
One is in French blue taffeta, white
organdie and blue tagaf straw. The
crown is of the straw, showing that
the modiste is quite impartial in her
use of materials, combining several in
one model.
Among the lovely things sent to
America is a hat developed in coral
mini creme de chine trimmed with n
large scarf Of metal embroidered in
pink silk.
Some good-looking hats are in sailor
shape and faced with very bright
colored changeable taffetas-for in
stance, a sailor of black taffeta, the
brim faced with changeable red tat
feta, trimming the hat with folded
bands of red and black.
