The wearing of natural flowers, chiefly in small bouquets upon coat or corsage is a fad that came north from the Riviera in the late spring and ear ly summer months. Fragrant flowers have been most in f avtir, and of those the yellow tea rose has easily held first place in the esteem of the fasti dious. For one thing, this same yel low tea rose is not too common, it is somewhat expensive - compared with other blossoms and then yellow in ail its tints and nuances is the fashion, able color, par excellence, this year in Paris. It is a blossom that will har monize well with every toilette, a point that does not belong to other, and, perhaps, more favored blooms; and its delicate odor" is not too insist ent. ' ; " The wearing of a large bunch of lav ender or of purpole sweet peas with a mourning or a half mourning costume is in high favor. The use of violets in this connection has been much over done; and its deathknell was sounded when the wearing- of artificial violets began to spread apace. The sweet peas, in either the light or the darker tint, accords well with either black, lavender or gray; while upon an ail white gown they present a little splotich of color contrast that cannot iail to be appreciated. , . The white sweet pea, too, is not over looked; and whether worn with or without a spray or two of green maid enhair fern, it is most often the choice of the younger section of society. There is an amount of simplicity to this dainty blossom that serves to commend it to those who dislike any cloth, chiffon, gauze, silk and velvet and trimmings of countless kinds dyed to other tones. The hydrangea shades are in the very first flight of fashion! Hot ten sia is the pretty name that the French bestow - upon this delicately shaded flower; and the blues, pinks, and the indefinite minglings of the two shades that the blossom so characteristically displays are eleverly handled in ?a great majority of the gowns for lawn, luncheon, dinner and garden party uses. There seems to be no indication of the wane of transparent or semi-transparent materials for dress purposes. The various novel weaves of voile--known under many names, but, sub well to the forefront of things fashion able, but chiefly in silken weaverings. Exquisitely soft and lustrous silks- chiffon double of a season of two ago. but with a more lustrous finish ate right in the very first flight; and to their trimming all the ingenuity that the designer can devise is brought. The material itself is of such sheer quality that rather heavy trimming is best posed upon it. There seems to be someone strenu ously and devotedly pushing the cause of the American short skirt for Pari sian wear. True enough it is that the Parisienne has accepted this mode-1 but under protest and for a very lim ited acceptance. Only, for the rough est wear is it donned, and it is always build and figure, and with what: effect the speedy relegation of this mode to the limbo of things forgotten' ould seem to indicate. , charming subjects that clearly ap proach the Charlotte Corday models of a few seasons ago. Of course, as might be expected, white it is tran sparently reminiscent of this design, it is in the differences rather than in the resemblance that its ehic is The chapeau with a moderate crown I " " 0,.,, " " and a fluted or undulated brim, high ' , .

Already it is developed in felt, and, strange to say, flowers are the favored trimmings. Velvet roses, sweetpeas, morning glories they are receiving an enthusiastic amount of attention just now nasturtiums, ger- sents itself strongly. Of the large hats, it is the size, shape and position of- the bandeau that largely determine their genre. A front brim that project?, becoming ly, a side that is, sharply lifted and aniums and other gay blossoms go tora back that sets closely to the head the trimming of those shapes, and the in marked contradistinction to the needed note of character is added in 'shapes of the summertime, in which a bird of paradise, a long Australian an altogether , superfluous width of plume or some other floating and wav ing feathery effect.

Caroline Reboux in troduced this model some three or four seasons ago under the title ' of the Glengarry turban it is not at all unlike a Glengarry cap done in straw but somehow it did not seem to take. Just at that period the over hanging pompadour was rampant on this side of the Atlantic the Paris ienne has never adopted the extremes in this coiffure that we over here have not only countenanced, but even adopted and the l very small hat did assuredly look silly topping a head dress that was made to stand out for several inches all around the face. Now, however, that the mode, in coif fure has been materially lessened, there seems to be a wide field for ac ceptance in this smart or pert little 1 chapeau. The incoming models in this are made in all sorts of ; effects. .The best ones nre in fine Milan and other straws, and, save for a band of vei-! vet along the brimi two or three long ostrich plumes, are the sole de coration. In; the felt and cloth braids that are woven into intricate patterns the same mode of garniture is adopt ed, except with this ; one difference; ajt or everyday wear the place of the ostrich plumes is taken by some one prv another of the many feathered effects that are current' on the mar ket just now. . 1 And apropos of feathers, the at tention of the Audubon society banded together to prevent the slaughter of birds for millinery pur posesis not required to this sea son's models. No bird that ever flew bore such wings, breasts, and feath ers as arranged in the milliner's showcases at present.

For use with the shirtwaist suit or with the tailor made the model that forms the subject of illustration is one that will com mend itself to the fastidious dresser. Of a shape that will prove almost uni versally becoming and presented in a host of novel tints and nuances of the mode its very simplicity is one of its best recommendations to the fashion wise. Fashioned somewhat upon sail or lines, the presence of ' a bandeau in the back and the lifting of the brim sharply to the crown at the left side makes for some variation in a mode that has threatened to become some what imore than monotonous. As presented it is in a light shade of cafe-au-lait felt more milk than coffee, though and simply, almost severely, trimmed with a cream-white sal in chif fon ribbon. The how points distinctly toward the back, the bandeau is cover ed with closely crushed loons of the same ribbon and a stiff buckram buckle shape is covered with the black and white striped broachcloth that is so effectively used for collar anil i cuffs upon the tailor-made that ucconi- ! panies the hat.
