POPULAR STYLE IS THE HALO

immense Brims and Flat Low Crown* Have Had Their Day and Will Not Be Much Regretted. In other summers women wore lace and tulle hats with immense flopping brims and flat low crowns; not so today. The tulle hat of the moment is> still the halo. It is a pleating, a spray 1 and a flicker of ribbon. You can pay* any price you wish from S2O to >SO sor 1 it, and if your fingers are clever you can make it at home for $5 —provided you are not using paradise or numidis. There are other tulle hats and they are the fancy of the moment. They are dashing and coquettish and, again, they are demure and old-fashioned. The trimming is very slight, but if one does not wish to go in for fantastic sprays of unnatural feathers there-ts always a rose to be plucked from the milliner’s back room garden. Even the leghorn hat of today is small, but it remains simple with a flower as its trimming and often a chin band of velvet ribbon. By the way, these chin bands are exceedingly fashionable and sometimes ..fascinating. It is not intended for the woman with a “flowing chin,” but it can be worn by the middle-aged Woman who wishes to disguise the wrinkles that are marked out under her ears. ' There are other chin bands of pearls as well as velvet ribbon, but it is to be hoped the former will not make its appearance on sensible women in America. The French woman who wore it suspended from her ears at the Paris races was not starting a fashion; she was merely trying to get photographed. >
