THE BIG HAT.
Even with tailored clothes, many Parisiennes are wearing big black felt or straw hats of Spanish character. Or, they choose the vagabond type of hat, large or medium, of the Spanish sailor, in a rough straw, which is very striking. Big hats will be the rule this season at the seaside and elsewhere, if it is sunny, and both big and little hats, if it rains. The Leghorn, in natural tone, is a favourite among the smart. Tho floppy, picturesque brim is becoming to many types, and its adornment may range from mamoth roses to rows of bright velvet ribbon. Horsehair is an equally good choice, and follows the mode of the Leghorn in its decoration. Bankok too is not far remote; though being a staffer straw, it lends itself to feather trimmings of certain types, while the Leghorn is attractivo with ostrich plumes. Lace and chiffon hats accompany lace and chiffon, or Georgette ensembles, some with huge beret crowns, and others with crowns which appear large because of their adornment with floral trimmings. Streamors arc not an unknown decora-
tion for this type of hat, and those who have chosen one of these pretty creations will surely implore the gods to be kind and send us sunshine.
