It 13 a most curious fact to notice and
worthy of even a psychological study in
modern life that the middle-aged, elder
ly, or old woman has ceased to exist as
far as fashions are concerned.
One no longer sees, as in our younger
days, bonnets and staid gowns for elder
ly women. The modiste in Paris who
had the courage to display an old wo
man's bonnet or olu looking hats would
be sure of her affair, and the dressmaker
who devoted his models to staid gowns
wouH go rapidly into bankruptcy.
There is no longer such a thing in the
great world as age. Everyone is young
in appearance that is to say, in apparel
and if one is not one might as well re
tire, from a social standpoint.
Nowadays there are ,in Paris no re
strictions whatever in the matter of
clothes for women of all ages. The
mother and the daughter may wear ex
actly the same kind of hat and gown,
and each be perfectly conect in the mat
ter of fashion; and one no longer hears
the oft-repeated sentence. "That is too
young for me." Nothing is too young
for any woman in Paris, and the mo
distes and autocrats of the Rue de la
Jaix, aware of this !act, plan only for
young women, and thus please all wo
men, for of course after twenty-five no
fashionable woman admits a birthday as
having passed.
Grandmothers with grown grandchil
dren appear in muslin and youthful bats,
while grandfathers give one a giddy sen
sation in smart white flannels, negligee
shirts, and other youthful raiment which
would have 3candalized people to have
seen them wear hardly ten years ago.
All girls are milliners now-a days.
They have discovered that they can
make pretty and becoming hats, real
picture hats indeed, from tissue paper,
aud add variety to the summer outfit.
The idea doubtlees originated from
the lessons in millinery which during
the past year or two have been a fash
ionable fad. The first work in these is
done in tissue paper. When these girls
learned what artistic work they could do
in this, and at how slight an expense,
they bethought themselves of wearing
these hats during the summer montns
instead of considering them simply as
models. The idea spread, and as the
work was comparatively simple, soon all
girls had paper hats. To be sure some
of them were fearfully and wonderfully
made, but that was no reason why the
really pretty ones should be tabooed.else
hats would go out of style entirely, since
the paper ones are not the only kind that
are caricatured by novices.
The tissue paper hats are usually
worn by quite young girls, but one not
infrequently sees them on older ones and
even on married women. The white
ones looks like the dainty rice straws,
while the colored ones resemble the
fancy straw braids.
The usual method of making is by
braiding. Strips of the paper one and
one-half inches wide are cut across the
longest way of the sheet, folding it so
tht this may ba done with one clip of
the scissors. The strips are then braid
ed in live strands, allowing them to
crumple as they pass through the fingers.
The softer and looser the braid, the
more pliable the hat will be, but if made
too loose it will not keep its shape, unless
the brim is wired. New pieces are
added to the strips by overlapping the
ends while braiding. When enough has
been made it is Eewed just as straw
braid would be. The Leghorn, Tarn
O'Shanter and Mexican shapes are the
favorites, the last being restricted to ju
venile wearers.
One young woman, an artist, conceived
the idea of crocheting her bat instead of
braiding it. She used a wire Tam
O'Shanter frame as a foundation, cut
her strips one half inch wide, and joined
them with a touch of paste. She used
the ordinary crochet btitch for the
crown, beginning in the middle and
widening as required, and the brim was
crocheted by throwing the "thread
over the needle once. A fluffy effect
was given to the edge by making a chain
of three and catching in each stitch of
the outer row. This hat was made in
black, and never would have been taken
for a "paper hat," even on close insDec
tion. It waa trimmed with chiffon, a fac
ing of this material beneath the brim,
and a full trimming at the front. The
effect was decidedly picturesque.
Most of the paper hats are trimmed
with liowers made from the same mate
rial. The favorites are chrysanthemums,
roses and poppies. Some of the most
effective hats have a band of black velvet
around the crown, under the clusters of
liowers.
There is really no end to the combina
tions of colors and to the result that may
be produced. A dozen sheets of paper
will make a hat, at a cost of ten cents,
and a rapid worker can make one in a
day.
Women are not wearing as many gems
this eummer as usual, and it is a relief
to find the pretty heads, throats and
boeoms unplastered with tiaras, dog col-
ars and the signs of tho zodiac. An
impression seems to prevail that Newport
s no longer a safe place for the display
