Lave given us such utterly femine mod els in hats for Spring and Summer. Weihould""Wso grateful that there is no deluge of gilt braid, nor a vul gar display of military: modes. For a while last winter, we were threat ened with' an . over-abundancy of these very things a but thanks to the good taste of the American women, they refused to don frivolous . fac similes of their men's service uni forms, except in rare . cases. Of course we have all striven to be as sensible as possible in fact we have been too earnest, most of us. In trying to do our bit. We have overshot the mark in our zealous endeavors; and. a seml-recation was bound to come' So this most delight ful of seasons finds us ready to re . lax a trifle, and to revel in things feminine and "colorful ' ; Cerise hats are as sure as Spring showers, and even e'er this have had thyeir glorious day In brightening the dull colored suits of ' complimenting ttfe sew trotteur frocks. The color will probably be good all through the summer months, as sweaters of tfctis shade are being shown exten sively, and the two make a charm ing completion of an all-white frock. Canary yellow is one of the most popular colors, vfeing with old blue, rose and-dove gray; for-Lress.wear. Yellow, green, purple, and crimson are good aport shades. . . , . , JFor the morning golf game we have a green hat of quilted satin with a sleevless jacket to harmon ize. The bat's crown is shaped into a peaked top, and on the right side o( the brim Is a wee bunch of black berries. Pastoral, you may say, but very pretty. . An unusual hat for wear on the club veranda la a sailor of black vel vet with slightly drooping brim. The underfacing is of leghorn, and the trlming consists of a brand of the straw and a blue silk rose.. A small : morning, bat of yellow taffeta is lrned with soldat blue, and has, around the crown, a row of self covered buttons and a tailored bow. The effect is quite smart.' Sailors, resembling nothing so much as the coachman's hat are worn extensively for shopping. With their swelling crowns, slightly rolled brims and ribbonbands, they give a natty air, add come in all colors. Small hats and large hats of astra chan braid recall Oodey's Lady's book, (to a lot of ladies who won't admit they remember, it). Turbans of gray straw with a band of the braid have gray wings for trimmings. More formal hats have a half gar land of cherries on a Wreath of enam eled flowers laid on the brim. Re ticules for small knitting come to match these rejuvenated styles. ; A hat of black glazed straw. has a Harrow , brim, drooping as mQst of the hats do, to meet the suas rays. The flat trimming consists of several pairs of orange wings which peek out becomingly over the wearer's yes.4-' i;-,t.'j - , , . ,.v For) the demurely inclined' 'girl there is a poke bonnet shape in-violets and pink rosebuds In the mauve shot satin, with a- nosegay of very front.! A delectable dress-up hat, with a wide brim, is of pale gray crepe georgette, with a shirred crown, a silver ) ribbon and a vari-colored bouquet as prime factors. A match ing mantle for wear over 4he linger ie frock, has a shirred Jneck-band with a crape-like effect or the crepe gracefully be-ruffled on the edges, and two streamer ties of silver rib bon. , - , A black leghorfi crown stops where it' Is, and gives way to -a brim of yel low organdie. A wreath of yellow roses encircles the crown. A hat of vivid green braided straw is covered, with water lilies of waxen whiteness. A charming adjunct to a white embroidered frock. A shop which features the I1 white hats for midsummer is show ing some extremely good looking models In Tuscan straw, mllan and linen tailleur. The roll brim sailor hemp for wear with the new white with a band of grosgrain Is becom ing to the youthful face, while for the girl with her hair in a net comes the stiff straigh brimmed sailor with a pair of snowy wings perched tn front. Shapes blocked into original styles have ostrich ornaments, bows of ; ribbon or quills for trimming. Large hats of georgette are attrac tive with designs of white beads em broidered In floral patterns on brim and crown. There is really nothing finer than the all-white hat for that jaded taste which comes in mid-season. , ; I . ' Fur is a perennial 'twould seem. Its prestige is established for the whole year 'round. .This year we have collars and belts on our sports' sweaters, andvof course', it follows that we must iave hat bands of pelt also. Slalskin is the leader and it girdles all manner of crowns. A Panama I have in mind boasts a six Inch band and a cockade of Hudson seal. A sailor of georgette has a C. & II. Bandeaua Brassieres Spring Styles Make New ..Corsets a Necessity. Don't handicap your new spring outer apparel by having it fitted over your old corset! A new corset lays abetter foundation for dress. vXw models In line of I LUUXSCl By virtue of simplicity In design ing do the new spring fashions for the growing girl, as well as for her little sister, deserve consideration. Dignity, combined with ' charm, is easily assured when a garment has been correctly and thoughtfully cut. A utility coat of blue jersey is col lated and belted, and has for its out standing feature a pair of pockets Just like the ones in sailors' top coats. A suit of blue taffeta, has a short pleated coat, and collar and cuffs of white satin with blue polka dots. A traveling frock of snuff colored linen has straight line held In by a brown suede belt. Fullness over the shoulders Is secured by six half. Inch tucks, each one of which Is and secured where the fullness Is re-briar-stitched In with yellow floss leased, by a flower of yellow French knots. A skirt of roue jersey buttons onto a white blouse of the same material. Collars and cuffs of knitted rose yarn complete a morning costume. Numberless are the frocks of ging ham and chambray which confront the mother who shops for something different. Every garment has its owarl individual touch, and attention is giv en to fit and cut. Happily, the old days of Job lots in girl's apparel are over, and we have no more grotesque ly huge sleeves and awkward collars. The better shops have come to a real ization of the fact that our girls need very special attention, with the result that fond mothers are assured of ast correct lines for the young figure as for themselves. j Afternoon dresses for the young miss to don for a turn to the soda fountain, are of white pique, the fab ric most desirable for youth, and of white linen, which isn't so popular this year, because of scarcity, and because It rumples upon the alightegt occasion. The pique dresses are hand scalloped or trimmed with briar stitching, alwars In white. Belts of wide black velvet ribbon are nattier than those of the same. When one is sweet sixteen there are many parties, each one an event. Consequently one must have one party dress at least. Sheer net is. perhaps. the most girlish, and .is to!

One could go on forever in the fascinating business of describing hats. The above Ideas are pretty welt indicative of the trend the styles are taking, along newer lines at least. Wool embroidery and beading are still much in evidence, and bizarre designs are resulting from the milliner's desire to create a new touch. Veils for summer are mostly of the motoring variety. A lady in a gray linen (rock with gray hat and boots would do exceedingly well to wear a chiffon Tell in vivid rainbow colorings. For the all-white costume, a veil of old blue or lettuce green makes a cool and charming comple ment. The extent to which feather and quill trimming is being used pre vents a prodigal wearing of close fitting veils.' They are such a joy, however, that one cannot refrain rather do without feathers. Mauve veiling is threaded in a scroll design, and Is vastly becoming both In color and pattern. Veils of tulle In the shade of one's hat are considered quite smart. , : ' ,.
