Hats With Broad Brin1s;
Sheer Surnnerv Frocks

Summer afternoon frocks, which
have place of minor Importance in
the wardrobe of a French woman, are
almost essential to the American, a
fact due in great measure to the diff
ference in climate in France and
America. Our warm summer days and
brilliant sunlight have brought about
an awakened interest in hats with
broader brims. Hats of this type have
not been much in evidence during the
past two seasons, but this summer
their vogue is definitely established
and one sees them worn with the
sheer summery frocks so appropriate
to the season and the climate.
Lingerie frocks also once more have
place in the fashion picture and are
charmingly youthful in line and in
their exquisite coloring.

Hats Are High, Pointed,
Trimmed With Flowers

Hats are high and pointed and
sometimes trimmed with flowers.
Many are round and trimmed with
transversely. placed feathers or flow
ers, which make the crown appear to
be higher. The panne hats are high
crowned and soft. with the brim
turned down over the eyes. The felt
ones are generally high crowned,
pointed and folded in the center, with
very small brims; large ones are but
rarely seen. Toques are either en-
broidered or trimmed with degrade
ribbons.
The evening headgears are general
ly in open-worked metal resembling
closely laurel leaf crowns, but some
times are made of the same fabric as
the dress and have the ends forming q
scarf.

Afternoon Dress, Green Suede Tailored
Belt, Brass Buttons.

This is the case of an evening gown
These gypsy girdles have brought
back into the shops clasps and orna-
ments that have not been used for a
very long time. The very ornate silver
steel and rhinestone buckles that
have been put away a good many
years and new ones in imitation of
Venetian and POmpeian jewelry are
used on some of the new models.
Tailored belts are in all widths from
the wide Spanish belts to the very
narrOwest inch-wide affairs. That
every material is used is proved by a
glance at the gowns in every shop.
Those made of the material Of the
frOck are about an inch and a half
wide, little more of a belt than the
usual "string" we know so we'll
Sometimes they are two inches wide.
Generally they are in the color of the
body of the dress. If a contrasting
belt is used, it is often of leather,
suede or kid or made of metal ribbon
or cloth.

Belt and GirdIe
on Fashion Card
Accessory Now Used Con
spicuously on Nearly Every
Daytime Frock.

1t may be that the long bodice with
its attached circular skirt or tlounceS
created the necessity of something
more than a cord to mark the divid-
ing line. Or it may be that the
straight, unbroken line had palled,
since the straight frocks now have
them where once there was nothing
to break it from neck to hem. Per-
haps the gradual adoption of the very
feminine fashions of men of days of
brass buttons, ruffied shirt fronts and
buckled knees brought back the belt
and girdle. 1t now is used rather
cOnSpicuously on nearly every day
time frock Even when the flounce or
the several graduated ruffles are at
tached to the straight frOck quite as
low as the knee, the girdle is worn
around the hips. Sometimes two small
frilfs define this line and two more
small frills trim the frock around the
bottom.
When the line from neck to hem at
the front must be kept straight and
unbrOken, in case a jabot extends be-
low the point of the hip line, some
other trimming of the kind is used,
the belt goes all the way around the
hips and fastens under the trimming.
Sometimes a scarf is used and the
ends are tucked under the belt at the
front in the way the old-fashioned
f1chu was used, but, of course, with
the longer waistline.
Girdles best liked for the summer
dress are in the form of the gypsy
girdle softly folded all around and
brought together at the front with an
upward sweep and caught under a
cabuchon, bow with ends, or an
elaborate ornament of some kind.

Donor Hides Identity

A man, whose only identification is
his statement that he was born in
England but has lived in the United
States for the last fifty years, recent
ly sent Winston Churchill, chancellor
of the exchequer in England, bonds to
the value of $6,S50, to be applied to
the reduction of the Anglo-American
debt. This is the third donation sent
by the man in the last three years as
a contribution toward the English war
debt. Churchill was unable to write
the man through lack of address, but
publicly thanked him through the
press.
