ail airs that Paris has whimsically Insisted .
slbted all the world shall wear are
side hy side.
Such funny little affairs some of
them al'o-regular little polo caps , or
Dutch bonnets , that are only tiny
apologies for hats , yet arc wonderfully .
fully attractive and most l1ecomlng.
New swisses are embroidered and
printed In aB sorts of designs , the
flower Idea being perhaps prettiest
of aB.
A new treatment for time tiny lace
frills / that face some of the prettiest
of the spring hats Is running them
from the outer edge to the Inner and
out again In a sort of point , which Is
filled In hy other frills , which set
charter and shorter as the space de-
creases.
Linen hats arc eXQuisite , with every
day a new way of trimming-or of
malclng-thom , springing up.
A white chip hat , edged with a row
of light blue braid and trimmed with
blue velvet ribbon , Is one of the simplest .
