Three-Piece Millinery Set

A SCARF and bag made to match a "chic mid-summer hat v are rqore effective than a scarf and bag that are selected without much reference to the hat. Hat and bag and parasol to match, made a combination that, early in the present season, marked One of its successes. A set of this kind for*the promenade, or for the short journey, is in the outfit of many a smart dresser whose discriminating taste is a,matter of intuition and education combined.

For threse three-piece sets for the promenade taffeta silk has been chosen, but in a three-piece set like that shown in the picture the scarf requires a softer fabric. Pink silk crepe in which poppies and their foliage are woven in shades of pink and green and white is the material used. The flowers are as wonderfully pictured as if done by the cunning brush of a flower * painter Instead of the equally wonderful weaving of the silk looms. The scarf Is two yards long and three-quarters wide, lined with

white silk crepe. Its edges are finished with hemstitching and the ends are | gathered into double tassels with double square medallions of silk braid into Which the raw ends of the scarf are thrust and sewed.

The bag is made with d circular piece of stiff canvas or buckram two inches in diameter, covered with the crepe, used for the bottom. The figured crepe is hued with the same mar terial as the scarf and*fastened into frames ( which are bought for the purpose. A big butterfly of’-embroidery and chiffon adorns one side of it, a poppy and foliage appearing on the opposite side. The bottom has two silk tassels sewed to it.

The hat has a puffed crown of the silk crepe, a turned-up brim of hemp and a coronet of jetted horsehair lace. It is decorated with a collar of pink, double-faced moire ribbon and a pair of small wings on a stem made of feathers, spangled with jet sequins. A set of this kind is very useful with the light gowns of summertime.
