suddenly into the limelight, for they
are given every sort Of attention from
fashion angle. Not only their colors
but their materials, and especially the
fashionlng of their handles, are de-
signed to be integral parts Of the COS
tunes with which they will be carried.
They are just as much part of the
general scheme as handbags are or
as gloves should be or any other ac-
cessory to the dress or the suit itself.
Necklines Call for Fichus.
Some of the blouses. to get back to
that subject, are shaped with neck
lines that call for fichus or arrange
ments of lace, and these are most ef-
fective when made up in the thinner
materials that are more appropriate
for summer wear. For instance, there
will be thin silk blouse that has Its
organdle fichu, or there will be a
heavy ratine silk blouse that is pro-
vided with u wide piece of heavy lace
arranged about the square neckline.
They are all most graceful In appear
ance, and they are all designed 10 be
arate summer skirts which are so
much portion of the seasons fashion.
Hats have trimmings that are high
and straight and in every instance
most picturesque. Through all of the
season we are clinging to the little,
brims. But their decorations are
changing, certainly and surely. The
fan-shaped trimmings made of feath-
ers or Of finely plated silk are dis
tinctly favorites. They rise high,
away from the brims. They are not
necessarily dress hats. but even if they
are worn for the street, they have
that air of having ''been done to suit
the occasion, with thought and care.
The evening hats are made of lace,
with lace frills that stand upright, and
some of them, when the brims are
broader, have drapings Of the filmy
lace that hang over the brims and
fold their ways into scarfs that twist
themselves around the necks or hang
over tine shoulders in graceful, sum-
merry lines. These hats are usually
black or white, or combination of
the two contrasting colors.
Transparent Hats.
Broad-brimmed shade hats always
come in with this season of the year,
and this summer they are SO transpar-
ent of texture that one wonders how
on earth they ever manage to hold
4
have no visible means of support for
their wide brims, Notwithstanding
which they manage to keep their
/ shapes most miraculously. They are
of brilliant colorings, oranges and
reds, and all tones Of green. They
are trimmed with arrangements of
fruits and flowers which very often
manage to take the same toning as
the hat itself, the only variety being
effected by the change In shade which
the divergence In texture manages to
carry with It,
Some of these more dropping hats
are decorated with one large flower
arrangement on one side. There is a
black one, for instance, made Of horse
hair braid which has white chou Of
chiffon on one side, into the folds Of
which are tucked tight little punches
of orange blossoms. 1t has that black
and white effect which is so liked in
the present season,
Facings on the summer hats play q
most important part. They are white
and cream colored and orchid shaded.
They are designed to throw that be
coming glow over the face without
which ones expression and makeup
have more to live up to.
1 The little toques and turbans are
most amusing and becoming when
they are fashioned to take their place
