Washable chiffon in light .colors and fn gray and taupe make! the prettiest Tells and those in deep 'cream or light blue are especially becoming. The taupe veil with bonnet jto match is very elegant This color does not' need to be washed as often as lighter ones, but this may or may not be considered an Item in its favor. Taupe colored headwear is brightened by small touches of the most vivid colors in its trimming, like Siat in a small cluster of cherries, or r ttle hand-made silk roses in bright pink, made and sewed flat to the bonnet. or hat. Cerise is a favorite color In combination with taupe. All the small bonnets of straw and the new straw sailors, are made in I

bright colors 1b addition to the regulation white, straw color and black. Remember this in making a selection, for the coming summer. Fashion favors .millinery that is cheerful and bright.

Small bonnets are faced with silk, Which may be plain or flowered or Striped, not to mention the changeable tones which are liked so much. Bows of ribbon or silk and small flowers of silk are used for trimming and are posed fiat to the body of the hats or bonnets.

A double width chiffon, two yards long, makes a sensible veil that may be brought about the neck and is hot too long to be thrown back and left to

float when not needed over the face. The soft felt hat 4s most comfortable, but not appropriate for everyone and therefore not becoming to many faces, it te “floppy” and apt to look rakish. Pretty, ; youthful faces can “carry it Off" -unless the figure Is stout.' It Is the hat for a girl slender and young;, the. fortunate type that can wear everything. :i\\ ' JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
