RAFFIA LACE HATS THE VERY LATEST Girls who Inst year sat on the plazzn of summer hotels embroider ing collars or knitting sweaters are enthusiastic over raffia, hats thla year. Only a few raftia lace hats are to bf found in the shops ami th prices of those are so high that the girl with a moderate allowance can do no more than gaxe upon them covetously. To make one of these hats corta a great deal of labor and rare, but not much money, so If a girl - has more time than funds she ran w-ll afford lo make hor own hat. The raffia hat making 1h a development of the raffia basketry, whleK has been a popular fad for the last season or two. Kaffla work, whether for baskets or hats. Is not trying upon the eyes, and the fibre, which is from a palm that grows, in Madagascar, is pleasant to handle. A gre charm of raffia hats Is their Ughtncus. A pound of the fibre will make four or five braid hot and nt least half n dozen luce ones. The fine braid hats, woven l,i four or six strand braidx. are satis factory either for shopping and traveling or for shade hat, while the lace ones are smart and elegant or pictu-esque, according to their pattern, shape, style of trimming, and also an Important factor the amount of lalMir put Into their making, for there arc exquisitely fine lace Imts ami others. t Anyone who has ever made the mnrrrme lace, that prevailed In the days of millinery house decoration, can easily master the art of raffia lu"P ht making, for the patterns arc adapted from It. and the knntx and network are copied. The hat Is besrun In the center of the erown. Eight long strands of raflla are doubled and tied by drawing the end through the loop around a stout bit of riffl.i. This foundation bit Ih then tied into as small a ring as possible. The eight strand form the midribs of the pattern, and upon every one holding the double strands together even long fibres are tied tin n double Solomon's knot. W ith these strands the whole pattern Is developed. Beyond the star of the crown the patterns are varied according to the taste and ingenuity of the worker, and to harmonize with the shape. The illustration shows what variety can bo aeMeved in them by differ ent workers, every hat being stamped somewhat with the Individuality of its maker. Even the crown centers are not alike in any two hats, although the pwttern Is really the some. But no two girls tie t ho knots with the same firmness or possess equal knack in holding the strands evenly. Deftness of touch and manipulation, together with a natural love for painstaking, imparts a beauty to each hat that distinguishes It from others. The double brimmed, hat Illustrated was made by a girl In a large college, where doeens of glfls have made hats thlH season, and some of them are already wearing the products of their labors. Fine, even strands were Selected for this hut, whirli" 1s made upon a wire frame, the pattern being adapted to it. It represents nine days' steady work. Other handsome huts have been made In thirty hours, and some in even less time, but the latter are msde of coarser strands, and knotted loosely so the pattern 'fills up rapidly. Most hats are made without frames, and have only thp necessary wires to keep them In shape. These are all worked into the lyit. the raffia being knotted over them as the .pattern 1 developed. , Handsome hats are being made of black ratfin. but it does not show the beauty of the lace as effectively aa the natural color.
