Fashio's Fancies

PRETTY LINGERIE HATS TWO THINGB THAT ACCOUNT FOR ~THEIR POPULARITY. In Addition to Their Appropriateness for Midsummer Wear They May Easily Be Fashioned by the Amateur Milliner. From the day of its advent, about eight years ago, the success of the lingerie hat was assured. Its beauty and becomingness first and Its appropriateness to midsummer have made It a staple style that Is welcomed with new interest every time the good old summer time arrives in earnest. It is one of the few hats which cam be made with success by the amiteur milliner at home. Two examples of the models most liked for this reason are shown here.

They are hot Targe. They art comfortable and look cool and dainty. To look cool and dainty In the dog days is to dress with success. ' Anyone who can sew pertly can manage the making of these hats. They are made on wire frames which can be bought of the milliner. A fine silk-covered wire is to be chosen in making a selection. A length of net one and a half times as long as the circumference of the brim should be shirred about the brim edge, covering both the tipper and under side of the frame with scant fullness. Rows of shirring are also run in at the base of the crown in two or three rows and at

the top edge of the crown. Finally the fullness Is gathered in at the center of the crown on top in two or three narrow tucks. As the net Is much fuller over the top crown than at the brim edge, it Is not necessary to cover the under side of the crown with net ■ * Lace frilling may be bought already pleated and sewed to the outside of the net covered frame as shown in Fig. l. These frills are finished with braid at the top of the model shown. Small ribbon roses and foliage are set about the crown and serve to finish the hat with a pretty touch of color. In the second hat the lace frill is placed on the under brim and color is provided by a sash and standing loops of silk supported by wire. A bow at the base of the loops Is tacked to the side crown. Light weight summer silk Is used for this trimming or messaline ribbon.
