TWO STYLES HAVE CHARM

Flower-Decked Millinery and the New Petticoats Win the Admiration of All. Summer would not be summer without the flower-decked tiat, but the notion rarely lasts longer except on the large picture hat of leghorn, crin, or hemp, which completes the June bridesmaid’s costume or the summer beauty’s dainty frock. This season, however, there is a strong indication that flowers will play more than their ordinary role in summer millinery. The medfum-brimmed, rather stifftailored hat, with ltß upstanding bouquet of vari-colored blossoms* so popular some years back, is being noticed here and there; one see, also, a number of flower turbans; flower crowns are favored with certain costumes, and wreaths are quite popular. The flowerstenciled hats are very well liked indeed. Ribbon, too, is smart for trimming, and ostrich, in the form of fringe and fancies, is a popular trimming. The new petticoats are delicious with their full ruches round the hem, the most elegant, destined for wear under the gossamer summer frocks that are coming, being lightly wired half way up the skirt to give that billowy aspect of movement that is as refreshing as a breeze on a hot summer’s day.
