SUMMERY HATS FOR MILADY
Fetching Creationi in Colon, Shapes
and Trimmings.
TISY POKES, TURBANS AND FLATS
Decorative Tendenrlre of Millinery
Art Calralated to Pat the
Rainbow In the llasbeea
Class.
Take the word of New York milliners
for It the mid-summer hat "Is really
lovely," with a variety of shape and
color to ault all tastea and purses. The
demand at present I. for the close fitting
hat, the Durbar turhan and tiny pokes,
but unquestionably largo, rather flat hats
will bo worn for raid-summer wear. Mnny
of these are veiled with printed chiffon,
net and lace and are vey soft and dainty,
although they have not the flufflness
characteristic of the lingerie be be. hat.
As to color, primerose, purple, blue and
amber are very good, as well aa green.
which Is always good at this season.
Flowers are being forced and the out
look for them la very good, particularly
In combinations of many kinds and colors.
There are many black and white hats
being shown, black predominating. White
wings, breasts, fanciea of eccentric de
sign, numldlea vulture and paradise are
all good In white. In fact, white and
colored winga and feathers are much
better sellers than black. It is a season
of high colors, with no one color more
popular than the other, unless one ex
cept, the rosy changes which are re
peated so often In flowers.
A Beaaty.
A very smart beret Is shown made of
fine mllan In a rich shade of violet.
This little hat la trimmed with ostrich
tips and small posies In deep rose shades !
and bands of violet velvet. Another very j
lovely hat waa In deep mulberry hemp, :
with high a Landing cockade of flowers. ;
which were In a bewildering array of
colore. This cockade, like so many others, '
was caught at the front of the crown, ;
the brim turning back to that point.
Many of the smartest shapes flare off
the face or high at one side and are
slashed, the trimming being Introduced
at this point
In nine case out of ten where a hat
or portion of It Is veiled the net, lace
or chiffon la stretched without fullness
over the aurface. Macrnme lace seems '.
to be the favorite for millinery. Rands
of white or ecru macrame are used to
trim dark straw hats, the lace being
used over the straw. A side pleating of
grosgraln silk or rtbbon Is often used as
a finish, a flat button covered with the
silk finishing either end of the band.
Macrame lace is often used on tailored
hats, tha hat most often being black. ,
LOTely Beehives. !
Small close-fitting hats resembling bee-1
hives are covered with macrame lace
and made, of course, on a wire founda- j
Hon first relied with thin silk or chiffon.
These dainty little hats have their edge
turned up (one can hardly call It a brim) '
and covered with shirred silk or satin :
rtbbon In some bright shade, coral being !
very smart. A very smart hat on this ;
order waa In white lace with vivid I
primrose ribbon on Its edge, the only
trimming being three buttons about the
sire of a Bo-cent piece, which were used i
In a cluster half-way to the top of the I
crown, two of the buttons being In prim
rose and one In a dark blue, a very
"Frenchy" combination.

season, for flowers have not been good
for some time and the wheel of fashion
always revolves. Kven now flower hats
are having some sale and that argue
well for the continuance of their favor.
High coekndes of flowers are well liked.
These are very smart made of combina
tions, orchids, Macs, patipirs; all sorts of
combinations are good.
There is. as we know, a crsxe for pearl
and crystal trimming In Paris, and this
Is being felt here. Tho newest orna
ments are fashioned of pearl, crystal
and amber and are very odd and attrao
tlve. Fringe, particularly crystal fringe.
Is very good fur gown and Is used for
millinery as well.
Velvet ribbon and plquot edged rib
bons are forging ahead. Fancy ribbons
and rhangeant taffeta are also good, so
that the ribbon trade must feel kindly
toward the millinery trade. Indeed so
generous Is the latter In distributing Its
favors that everyone ought to be happy
this spring, so many things being good
in mllllenry.
The Turkish bath towel bat, tha em
broidery hat, the hat of silk, veiled or
unveiled, the laoe hat, the summer felt
for outing purposes and the many kinds
of flower and straw hats result In an
endless variety, wtilch la pleasing to all
parties concerned.
Kovrltlee la Absadaaer.
One of the features of a season rich In
novelties Is the Idea of veiling one ma
terial with another. Net and chiffon are
equally popular. A very beautiful hat
recently Imported waa quite round anj
all but flat, having a three-Inch rounded
crown. Over the entire top of the hat
was a layer of white chiffon printed In
a delicate empire design, the wreaths
being composed of many colored flowers,
very tiny of course. The chiffon was
cut In a circle and laid over the hat,
crown and all, and waa not caught to
the crown or drawn In to ahow Its out
line A wreath, composed of small
flowers, roses, forget-me-nots, sweet peas
and other blossoms, representing tha
colors In the chiffon, waa applied flat to
tho brim edge, a similar chain extended
from side to side acrosa the crown at
the front, a bow of French blue velvet
finishing the chain at one side. This Is
a charming example of the new flat hat
which by mid-summer will be the mode.
White chiffon with black or blue polka
dots Is also used over white straw and
smart milliners are showing scarfs made
of the same chiffon to wear over one's
shoulders. The newest of these are edged
with a number of forty velvet ribbon.
The shoulder scarf le a good side line
for milliners, particularly If It can be
made from chiffon, similar to that which
la used on the hat. Make them at least
yard wide and three and a half yards
long.
Chiffon Is used to cover or partially
cover parasols which are In all manner
of eccentric shapes thla season. tUme,
bell, pagoda, lamp shade and palm leaf
are some of the new ehapea. Fashion
decrees that one's hat and parasol should
match, so that milliners are adding para
sols to their stock.
