Summer Hat That Milliner Considers Triumph of Art

Two views are given here of a midsummer hat, which is a triumph of design for those occasions which only summertime brings. For the garden party, the hotel piazza, the open-air tea, the park concert and aH the rest of our warm weather functions, this is an ideal bit of millinery. The large shape (only modestly large at that) has a low round crown. Hemp or t chip hats answer for this model. The crown is covered with white silk, crepe showing a small rose and foliage in natural colorings. The brim has an overlay of white gross-grain ribbon with picot edge. The brim is caught up at the back

and at the left Bide. A wreath of half bloom roses, beautifully shaded extends about the crown and over the brini following the line of the head, and disappearing when the droop begins at the back. A small ribbon, ornament made of two crushed loops gives a finishing touch, which is .remarkably original in mounting and altogether clever. A parasol covered with the same silk as that used in covering the crown, is finished , with the ribbon used on the brim. Its handle is of natural wood finished with heavy white silk tassel. Isn’t it pretty?
