crepe de chine and chiffon are chosen.
No color is considered too faint or too
crude for such usage. Mauve, gray,
flesh pink are preferred. for the rea-
son that they give the most artistic
shadow; reflect their tints in skin
and eyes. Red is used as lining and
1t also reflects its tint on the skin:
therefore. 1t should not be attempted
by any woman unless she is sure OF
pallor or a clear magnolia tint in
her complexion.
Dark blue is good. Several shades
Of pale green give the GOODNESS OF
water. If the eyes are gray or gray
blue. no better color than green can
be put above them.
The method of lining straw hats
with velvet, which belongs to the
same era whence many Of our new
fashions sprang. is not revived. The
milliners think. 1t is too heavy for
| hot weather., Yet they do not mind

racing season began at the beaches,

to fashionable women and we in
America, are SO familiar with the
idea that we accept it without con-
sidering it a novelty. There are col
ored straws, but they are not more
fashionable than the natural maize
tones.
Black tulle and white organdie make
an unusual combination. One Of the
best milliners insists that the thing
is good and there are women who
wear immense hats of black tulle
with white organdie as brim lining
NNE would think smart society in
Paris had been through some
piratical episode. judging from the
way they took to pirate ,,handker-
chiefs as form Of decoration. They.
began with knotted cravats under the
rolling white collars that marked a
deviation from the olive-shaped neck
opening. 1t took Caroline .Reboux to
make a straw hat with a red, black
and yellow cotton. handkerchief
around its crown to start the fashion
like a prairie fire. 80 -...-
Half the women speedily trimmed
their hats with such handkerchiefs.
1t was easy enough to do. The pi-
rates knot at the side was just the
sort of thing they could achieve both

In the midst of this hubbub about
handkerchief hats it was realized that
