J he crowns arc decorated with fanciful ribbon eflccts and flowers in wreaths, bunches, sprays and any arrangement that pleases the designer's eye. TWO LARGE DRESSY MODELS An especially pretty h.il was' fashioned of eyelet batit-te, oVer its silk mull foundation that was also edged with narrow Valenciennes lace as was the batiste top. .

Another dashing hat was fashioned of ivory colored' silk batiste: the wide brim was straight, and the crown, almost five inches tall, was com' pletely covered with pale blue iliillon taffeta ribbon laid in a series of horizontal folds hiiiu lating rosebud petals. A pin wheel rosette of ribbon decorated the left side and was contin ued over the brim on the bandeau in back. Jn the centre of the rosette were clustered two full rosex in a delicate yellow, fringed with fen th dry green. On the right profile were also clustered these lovely blooms. HATS OF LACE AND RUFFLING A number of. large hats are, likewise built of all-over lace, .Valenciennes, baby Irish, Irish crochet, Guipure, and .Cluny, mounted on frames of white silk .wire .and faced, with the lightest chiffons, mulls or with the xaruc material aa the top. These large hats, ore particularly effective when the crowns arc built high and are inva riably trimmed with- folds of ribbon or velvet. The more elaborate 'models for ultra wear have velvet .streamers and loops that fall over the brim of the hat, touching the shoulders. Roth black nud colored velvet ribbons lire employed for this decoration, besides pompadour ribbons, plumes and the most exquisite flowers.

The pla teaux are placed over one thickness of chiffon, white or faintly colored. Small flower arc cm ployed to special advantage on these miniature hats in accordance with their extreme dainti ness. Wreaths of moss roses, alternating with forget-me-nots in a setting of maidenhair fern are delightful.

A small bow or knot of black velvet placed on the hat emphasizes the delicate beauty of these chic headpieces.
