BONNETS FOR LITTLE ONES

Varying Hats That Will Be Suitable to Needs of Small Maidens’ Summer Wear.

After your little daughter has been supplied with her “knockabout” hat it is time to plan her bonnet for best wear. The loveliest hats are developed of transparent materials, such as net, point d’esprit or shadow lace, arranged over a wire foundation. The latter can be purchased at any shop where millinery is sold, and the wires should be wrapped with strips of silk before covering with the tulle. z An extremely dainty model is a quaint Dutch bonnet suggesting the lace caps worn by the Vollendam maids. The wire foundation is covered with pink washable silk, and over this arranged the covering of dotted tulle. The crown Is shirred at intervals, and the brim is edged with a tiny frill. , Two clusters of small flowers in tones of pale blue, pink and mauve trim the brim. About the crown is drawn a ruching of lace. A very lovely little hat can easily be duplicated. The brim is slightly mushroom, and the foundation is covered with pale pink silk. The dotted tulle is then shirred on cords and fitted over ths frame, and a frill of narrow lace softens the line at the edge of a band. Tile trimming consists of a band of nattier-blue ribbon drawn about the crown and tied in a flat bow at the side. A single rose is placed on the brim at the left side. Other charming bonnets are of leghorn, lined with taffeta and trimmed with flowers. These also can be duplicated at home. The lace bonnet, how-

ever, seems to have no rival for best wear, and you will be wise to fashion one for your little daughter.
