In the circle leghorn and roses tell a summery tale of such as will be worn with frocks of exotic print, with gowns of lace, or of net, pastel chiffons or organdies. In the other large circle is a huge black panama with the new fruit trimming which Is considered quite the last word this season. You must have at least one hat trimmed with a wee apple or so, or a trio of plums and green leaves of some sort anything Just so It Is tempting looking artificial fruit.

Main Every season sees some new fashion development which springs up mushroom fashion, overnight. This year It Is short, loose or belted swagger coats of white or pastel wool over town frocks of plain or printed crepe. These coats are sold separately. They are quite Inexpensive. And they give a decidedly fresh and summery air to a dark ensemble. They may take the place of the black or navy redingote with which you started out the spring season. String color is very smart with black or navy. Other popular shades are a deep dusty yellow, linen blue, and a soft leaf green. In many Instances the color of the coat Is accented in the print of the frock, or in some detail of belt, scarf or other trimming.
