vogue. The models offered appear limitless in number, and countless are tho ways of trimming, till the rnlnl Ih almost em barrassed with im excess of riches. It Im a long time since headgear has been as universally Im -coming ns now, ns light In weight for tin' effects achieved, or aa Inexpensive. T!.c horse-hair braids and raffla straws have niui-h to do with lesson ing heaviness. The thin lure and small flowers and ribbon trimmings likewise as sist In this service, and whatever tho shnpe evpry linp of tlm bend and face Is con sidered In Its construction. One thing the mind sophisticated In auch matters observes Is tho derided difference In slxe between the. French and American models. French hats urc considerably smaller than those made here, and have a tendency to sit away from tho face, while domestic ones project over It. The trlcorne Is a shape much worn In Paris, but New York milliners declare that wen- the small models favored by the French brought over hero they would languish unnoticed In the shops. Bo well Is this fondness for size understood that I'urlMlan modistes, recognising no other way out of the difficulty, likewise enlarge the hadilei: for the American buyer. In every shop of standing the shopper la Inform' (I that American hands are cm ployed, wtille the "Klatiron" turban la held out as a matter of course. I'erhaps the head and countenance thla aide of the water arc bigger than those at the other, but at any rate they go all right with their millinery. When the effoct la distinctly bad It is usually because the buyer has chosen a hat entirely unsuited to her points. Taking a bird's-eye. view over the field Of millinery, three shapes are recognised to color the entire display. These are the picture hut. the torpedo turban and the trlcorne; for the new sailor Is affected by both the torpedo unit tho picture germ. The Hhupo in tho salloia is much wider than It is deep. It Is like a blunt ended boat put on sidcwlsc, while another with a deeper brim at the front will be made to have a shallow look by the way the trimming Is put on. Cartridge-belt quillnga of velvet ribbon accomplish this on some Of the big crowned French sailors. The boat sallois are trimmed In various ways, but generally In a stylo to show the out line of the top of it. At the back the brim turns up gracefully and la bunched with masses of ribbon of velvet and flowers. Tills style of hat and the round failure With similar garnlshlngs are especially charming with the dressy Utile bolero sulta Which will be much worn this summer. For temer toggery, tailor costumes of all de scriptions, tho ready-to-wear bats supply useful and appropriate head coverings. Fashioned of many species of straw, and white or croam often contrasting with black or color, this wort of headgear has vastly Improved In' style. But HUlo trimming Is used on It, a touch of bias velvet or ribbon with a buckle of some sort often at most, the shapes being In themselves so decora tive. Other designs may show tulle or not mingled In with the form, while tiny straw roses buttons, as the French call t hem straw buckles and straw quills will be used on others. But except for practioal service. It la plain that what might be called the "fancy hat" will take precedence over the stlffer thins for summer use. The lace and veil dra ping which are dally growing more elabo rate Indicate this, as well as the Increasing furore for flowers of all sorts. The dress up hat of the modish summer girl Is a veri table garden of posies, with vivid pinks and greens contrasting with pure white. Dell clously old-fashioned, too, are some of these posies, "old maid" and musk rosea being seen, fluffy blowaways and wreaths of larkspurs; while the soft ribbons are put on in splashy bows or In rosettes and twists and knots that seem miracles of finger cunning. Numberless are the curves the smallish dress hat follows, but at the rear the pre vailing tendency is to take a downward dip. This accommodating the coche-peigne styles of trimming, one sees upon the flit piece resting -against the hair some orna menallon which Invariably enhances the Wearer's looks. Cache-pclgnes of velvet ribbon. In the shape of a single long oval rosette, are seen upon some turbans with elaborately rolled side brims, which style, by the way, is strikingly becoming to many types. Along with numberless kinks recognizable as revivals of undent days, the complete reincarnation of the lace veil has been nc compllshed. The invention of fancy veil ings by the yard for many years set this bordered charmer aside, but once more it Is recognised as vastly beautifying. It Is worn as In the old days, in a loose curtain around the edge of the hat brim, with the border below tho chin and the ends falling straight at the back. Some of the black lace veils are very long, the ends being brought scarf fashion around the throat and tied tinder tho chin In a loose bow. Still another style Is very deep with the ends barely meeting at the back, and such sorts are held around the hat crown by means of an elastic. AS Tine LACK VIC1L. LOOKS WHEN THROWN BACK. But since these lace veils are expensive 15 Is a common price for one In imitation dentelle the various ma lines and tulle nets will likewise be worn. These, when a web Is properly selected, may also, however, be made up with lace and ribbon borders, and the shop ones so fashioned have a nady sale. Finally, colored headgear, It la evident, will be more worn than black, and though brown la riot recognised as a specially be coming shade, much brown millinery Is seen. A touch of gilt, black, rod or green often relieves this, and one brown straw turban sewn was delicately piped at the brim with velvet In these three shades. A mass of shining Ivy leaves, arranged In rosette form at the left side, was the only other trimming. Ivy leaves, combined with white gar denias, also composed cne model among the French foliage turbans, which adapt thomselves to many species of costume. They are not too elegant for a plain tailor gown, and they are sufficiently dressy for the charming voile and eollenne frocks that nre being made up for the first summer usn. For brim hats on the Gainsborough order and others of picturesque description, white ostrich plume9 are favorite ornaments, many a white punama or chip hat showing them In vast lengths. Draped hats may show lace nets or tulles in several shades of a color, and with a blue one the roses may match In tint. But outside of this hybrid in the floral world artificial deckings are for the most part colored after nature. The little gar lands and wreaths of roses are honestly pink, wh:te or yellow, and their crumpled hearts look as natural as If they really held the garden scents. Little foliage Is us'-d wtib these, and on children's and adult hats as well they are disposed with a prodigal lavlshnesa. Juvenile headgear which Is not flower decked leans largely to ribbon trimmings, and upon the round, wide-brimmed shapes for every day use the single flyaway bow la much seen. For dressier service, drawn hats of lace, net and mousseline are trimmed In a number of ways, with wide, soft ribbons In delicate tints. The baby hat, a frilly berlbboned conceit, with rib bon strings and sometimes a face trimming, is liked for the tiniest maids. And for their masculine friends of the same years, with all the little kilted suits which will be theirs, there are baby-boy sailors whose trimmings stil ladmit of a touch of femin inity. A captivating point with child millinery, too, Is that many grown-up points ore copied .these producing on young heads a delklouBly quaint effect. Of all of them, the lace veils, which. In babyish webs, are allowed French girls of tender years, are, perhaps, the most charming. These, which accompany the scoop bonnets, also bans ovjr the face curtaln-wlse; hut ns small girls are not given to n fondness for faca muffling, they nre generally worn thrown back from the face. A correspondent writing from Paris says: "It Is enchanting to see the French baby fllles, sitting In the Champs Klysees before tho Oulgnolles theaters. Kach one wtih her lace or net veil, her white spats and loose sacque almost nn exact replica, of grand Barque which Is the spring Juvenile wrap almost an exact replica of grand mamma In her olden days."
