Of course, if you are tall, you can wear one of the big ones. If your * (face is large you can afford to have Masses of trimming. But if you are short, then the brim of the shade hat heed not be so huge in proportion, and if your features are at all delicate “nen the trimming must be lighter and ‘more airily arranged. But there is no use denying the fact that the drooping, wide-brimmed hat of straw simply decorated is to be one ef the important features of the spring and summer season. Following the general movement in he directions of color, these hats are , sade in all bright and lovely tones. J They are in those pastel shades which At Right—Wreaths of Wild Roses Deck a Shade Hat of Black Taffeta. Below—Flowers and Grapes on This Hat Are Made of Colored Organdy. Gingham Suit Blouses HE plain-—litle biouse with a round, youthful collar is some- are 80 Vastly becoming to the average girl. And the color of the hat having once been established, there are then added for trimming all sorts of com- binations of other colors to bring out that combination of tones that looks like a s¢intillating rainbow, Fruits and flowers and ribbons are the trimmings, They are not mixed together, but each selects its own hat and stays there. When ribbon is the thing, then it is arranged in soft or stiff bows that are large and sweeping and that, more or less, droop over the brims of the softly drooping hats. When flowers have been chosen as the hat's decoration they are posed so that they give rather a feathery offect. They are all loose and irregularly massed, looking a good deal as they do when they are growing—just colorful and feathery, without being too regu- lar in design. The fruits are more thickly placed, with leaves that fill in many of the @paces that remain, and sometimes there are several different sorts of fruit on the same hat, bringing al! of their colors to bear on the general echeme of decoration. The range for bindings that are colorful reaches into the domain of these wide brimmed end drooping hats Always you wil! find about de Hats Bloom for Easter the outer edge of the brim some narrow ribbon or velvet.or chiffea Dinding that repeats the color scheme of the hat and its trimming. Bat this line of edging usually makes some contrast to the foundation color of the hat. Hither it varies is fone or assumes some directly @p- posite color. And it is, for a bind img, unusually marrow, The fact ls that it is kept down to its narrowest Possible lim#ts, depending upon the contrast of color to make it a notable thing In the world and especiaily among the hats of the world. The straws for these hats are all of the semi-transparent variety, amd they are not as a rule faced. They have that lightness of effect which is part of the charm of this character of hat. The light trickles through the looseness of their weave and they are light and airy in looks as well as in feeling. White hats that droop will be a sreat rage, as will also red ones, and there are any number of these hats made up in all of the shades of purple and mauve, They are partie- ulanly lovely with the thin organdie and Swiss dresses, but they are going to be worn with the soft crepe and taffeta frocks much earlier in the season than it is usually their wont to appear. So, if you are longing (to look pie- turesquely attractive this season, let your hat be one that droops and is made of some lighter toned straw. You cannot make any mistake In this direction, for you will find that every- one is doing it. Above—A Feathery Trimming of Yellow on Cream Colored Straw Is Very Effective.

For if you have any sense of the filness of things you know that a great many of the blouses which are easy to acquire do not really seem to be parts of the heavier, thicker suits. ‘They all seem to have been designated for suits of lighter weight, which were more universally popular some years ago but not now. They are too lacy and too frilly and too thin. The prettiest little gingham blouse I nave seen ately was made of a purple check--one that was very emall and fine.

There was another checked blouse snat was made up of a IArger sqoare and had linen collars and cuffs kept perfectly simple and plain with bias bindings of the linen to finish their edges.

Polka Dots Are Being Worn VERY WHERE you cab eee polka dots. And isn't ft mice that they have come back Into fagh- jon” They are so Gecorative! With # very litte strip of polka-dotted ma- terial you can get en effect that any plain fabric could not achieve. And polka dot material cleverly used takes the place, sometimes, of em- broidered motifs. It all depends upon the way you slide it into the genera! construction of the dress. They are putting polka-dotted trim- mings on hats, Black Gots on white rivben and then a narrow Uttle edge of black to set the ribbon off. A Gress was made of brown polka dots printed on a tan silk background. Of course, as you may imagine, it was a very simple little one-ptece affair of a drew that uecied mo érimming, extept some bound edges and a sash of brown, with « big, spreading bow at the back, A blouse of polka-dotted black and white chiffon was made with wite black chiffon inserts in the wide sleeves, and it was worn with a pleat- ef black chiffon skirt, This was a very lovely use of the decorative black and White transparent fabric printed In the regular design. Polka-dotted blue foulard will be one of the summer's materials for com- fortable street dresses. Of course, there is nothing to take the place of blue and white printed silk for certain summer days in the city, but the large round Gots make the material even more interesting and ihe regularity of the pattern is almost untvergally @ be- @oming thing. aa Bi 2 * with jewels or are supplied with dangling chains of beads or silk that hang from them. The round, flat spaces of color sup- plied by the rounded discs are really good looking against a gown of some brilliant color, and because they are 80 really perfect in their way they constitute sufficient trimming for any gown without the least tii extra added, There was a draped gown made of cerise moire which had all of Its ful- ness congegrated in one spot over the right hip. At that point two of these wheels in shining cut jet were placed close together and they not only set off the gown to its very best advan- tage, but they were able, in that position, to show all the beauty of their own cutting withont any tnter- ruption, An afternoon frock of bluck velvet was cut along the simplest of kimono lines. It had @ black velvet strip to flefine the waistline and that was fastened by two round discs made of pearls strung around and around. A green dreas draped from crepe de Chine had two of these big but- tons at its waistline, and they were made of jewels of many colors show- ing their sparkling colors magnifi- cently against the green. In many ways these round girdle ornaments are used and they are cer- tainly the most popular trimming ef thie season when decorations must be om right im e@der to be accepted at
