And all at once the girl of the summer reappears in a red Robin Hood hat, trimmed with a flaming red scarf, while & little jacket of bhunting A FRENCYH DEAL N BLACK FACE CLOTHM “pink”—which is a bright red—completes the happy ensemble. Another pretty and new style of trim- ming is found in the band of black vel- vet, which is drawn across the front of the hat and tled under the brim at the back. At the front it makes a band for the crown, while at the back it forms a becoming little ornament for the coiffure. The fashion of dangling ends still re- maine and the hats of the season are eure to show something’ or other hanging down. It may be only a stray branch of hyacinths, a few dangling wistaria or a bunch of the ubiquitous grapes. Or it may be a few roses fastened at the back of the hat or some carnations arranged 80 that the buds and the leaves touch the neck. But something positively must dangle. And, be it an oetrich feather, a gay flower or lace ends, one will surely see some little indication that the rear end decoration is still the style. Zhe severe types of outing hats do not have their dangling ends. But there are many hats that are trimmed with scarfs, decorated with velvet bows or touched with streamers of flying lace. The Piazza Girl’s Hat. The lace trimmings are seen not so much upon the actual outing hat as upon the piazza hat. And this is one of the .prettiest of all ways to trim this hat. The plazza hat, made of chiffon or of straw and treated to a top of flowers, is delightfully finished if its edges be veiled with lace. To arrange & lace scarf around a hat, be sure that the scarf is long and that its ends are cut in points, as these make the prettiest streamers imaginable. Now fasten the lace scarf around the hat brim in folds, letting the iolds cover the top of the hat if they will. The lace will fall over the ledge, just touching the halr, and making a frame for the face that is as bewitching as can be. SCOTTI\SH - CLTING HAT o o g Millinery From - Fredericks & Morrison, — Many of the outing hats are of the eo- centric type and In their case eccentricity, is pretty.. There is the dish shape, round and slightly sloping upward. The top is trimmed with triangles of felt brought up to the middle of the crown and fas- tened with pearl buttons. Of course there i{s & quill somewhere. Those who are handy with the fingers can adopt the Marlborough type of out- ing hat. This is nothing more than a plain felt hat, low in the crown, with a very flat brim. As the hat is put on the head dally it Is shaped with the taking out this curve or putting in that curve according as it s bent by nimble fingers. ““The most radical changes are to be ex- pected In the hat line,” says Mrs. Fred- ericks, “and of course we all know that ‘we go from one extreme to the other just as fast as it Is possible. Last winter everything was as flat as a pancake and this summer things were even more so. Not a sign of a crown nbr yet a single thing that gave the slightest suggestion of height. The smartest hats were flat, flat, flat. But they are not going to be 80 in the midsummer hats and in the nov- elties that are being shown as models for winter. Indeed not. They are high, bigher, highest. “No matter how strange it may seem, the old-fashioned poke is to be here and in all its glory. The crown is to be at least six inches high; with a perfectly flat back and with ribbons that fasten in the back and come to the front in a bow just as our grandmothers wore them years ago. “Feathers are to be here again, but not the long, sweeping plumes that framed the face in such a charming fashion. This year when they grece a Paris hat they will stand up perfectly straight as though maintaining their dignity and will blow fearlessly about in the wind without giv- ing a single thought as to whether they are making a better appearance than the innumerable danglers that used to hang side by side with them. For this year there will be no danglers. “And speaking of danglers reminds me. Never before has there been a prettler, more bewildering array of ribbons than right now. Everything is new, or rather, very old. The queer old plush effects are sgain all the rage and the ribbons with quaint, geometrical designs are more the fashion than ever before. “So, girls, wear your hats for all they are worth and give up the idea of saving a particularly fetching one for the win- ter. No matter how smart it may have been and is considered yet, its crownless top and the satiny look will all be against 1t. Nothing is to be smooth. The rougher and the hairier a hat is the better.” The summer hat offers a wide fleld for the use of the hatpin. Hatpins come riow looking as though they were rare gems and the prudent girls will buy them while they are to be had. They cost only a A FRENCH SOWMN 1IN wWHITE CANVAS AND aacT song and ons can really get s supply last all summer and beyond for half dollar and less. The use of the hatpin is & thing to be learned. A certain young woman having a very plain black hat purchased several hatpins of turquoise surrounded by rhine- stones. These she used in such a way as to form a trimming. She placed two at the back as sentinels to mark the middle of the back. One she set in under the hat to trim the bandeau. The third and fourth were used upon the crown. The hat was thus trimmed in an impromptu way each time it was put on and the pins were no more numerous than is nec- essary for a windy day in summer. Easy to Dress Well It is surely a season when individual taste plays a prominent part. How many little dress schemes there are and how easily & woman can dress beautiully if she will N to . # A certain woman who is famous for her taste In dress and who belongs te the ranks of the old Four Hundred has & practice of picking up turquoise bits. Her turquolses are well known. She has & few real pleces to mix in with the moek ones, but for the most part her turquoises are the light blue stones, set in skeletom settings, and remarkable only for their prettiness. She wears them with bilue, with white and with black, and also with fawn color and gold. There is a determined effort being made to revive green In dress. And it is sue- ceeding remarkably well, for many of the best of evening toilets are in green, running from the deep green of grass to the brighter emerald and on up to sea- foam and absinthe and gaslight green. But green needs gold with it and it also needs a little black, so that It is not good unless it be carefully managed. The woman who Is not sure of her own taste should be careful. A fancy of the season is the making of handkerchiefs to match the shirt waist. A shirt waist of dotted Madras is pro- vided with a handkerchief of dotted lawn. And both are trimmed with the same kind of lace. Shirt waists of blue have blue lawn handkerchiefs to match, and so also de the waists of rose color and cream and white. It is & matter of dress detall which women cannot afford to igmore. Still another note of dress, and one that will appeal to all women, is found in the wearing of turn-over collars to match the turn-over cuffs and the carrying of a lace and lawn handkerchief to mateh both. It takes very little time to get to- gether a set of this kind, and the effect is charmingly pretty. It glorifies an otherwise ordinary shirt waist and makes 1t look like a thing of dressiness and skill. Full shirt waist sults are made dressy by handsome belts, by nice stgck are rangements and by attention to the fneve itable little turn-over, without which ne dress seems complete. Just what will come next no one dares to predict, but the French modistes are busy planning, and this means more ag- tivity in the fashionable world,
