not be considered an item In its fa-
vor. Taupe colored head wear Is
brightened by small touches of the
most vivid colors in Its trimming, like
that In a small cluster of cherries, or
little handmade Silk roses lu bright
pink, made and sewed flat to the bon-
net or bat. Cerise is a favorite color
In combination with taupe.
All the Bmall bonnets of straw and
♦be new straw sailors, are made In
striped, not to mention the changea-
ble tones which are liked so much.
Bows of ribbon or silk and small flow-
ers of silk are used for trimming and
are posed flat to the body of the hats
or bonnets The veil Is shirred on a
narrow ribbon or elastic band and
slipped over the hat. where it stays,
be the wind more or less boisterous
A double width chiffon, two yards
long, makes a sensible veil that may
be brought about the neck and la not
too long to be thrown back and left to
float when not needed over the face.
The soft felt hat Is most comfortable
but not appropriate for everyone and
therefore not becoming to many faces.
It is "floppy" and apt to look rakish.
Pretty, youthful faces can "carry It
off" unless the figure is stout, it is
the hat for a girl slender and young;
the fortunate type that can wear ev-
erything.

QUAINT CONCEIT COMES BACK
•
Choux of Ribbon, 8ilk or Velvet, 80
Popular Some Time Ago,
Is to Be Revived.
A quaint conceit which Is being re-
vived on several models Is the large j
choux of ribbon or silk velvet, repeat 1
lng, perhaps, the note of color at the !
waist and placed at the side front )
about nine Inches up from the foot
In fact, we appear to be In for a re
vlval of these contrasting choux of
silk or velvet, which were such an In-
fliction some years ago. They are ap-
plied to the corsage or skirt more or
less indiscriminately, and bear no re-
lation to the general design of the
model.
Tust now the Idea Is aulte endur-
able. especially when carried out as
on a white batiste frock with a V-
shaped lace vest at the neck let into
a large plain vest of flne embroidered
batiste. Two large diamond shaped
pieces of lace on the shoulders head
two soft folds of batiste, which cross
over In front Into a swathed waist belt
of soft mauve allk. finishing with an
enormous choux at the left front.
The skirt Is on simpler lines, gath-
ered Into the waist. A band of the
lace Is applied about a foot up from
the hem, and Just above this and in a
line with that at the waist Is a very
large rosette bow. These touches of
mauve were quite delightful. A simi-
lar note was sounded on the white
baby hat. which had a wreath of tiny
mauve roses encircling the mob
crown.
