Show Transparent Hats NCE In about so often the tran?- I M B parent hat of airy material W shirred on a wire frame, comes V back into fashion and when this happy time arrives femininity should count Itself very fortunate; for no typo of headgear Is so charming and o becoming. This summer the transparent trans-parent hat ia to have a tremendous vogue; the exclusive spring models of lace and tulle demonstrate this; and bo beautiful, so altogether Irresistible are these hats that no special acumen is needed to foretell the popularity of the transparent type of headgear. A lace hat Is truly a plcturo hat. It may lay claim to smartness, but its primary motif is picturehquencss and this must be remembered In selecting the shape A few mushroom shapes , of moderato size are suitable for the style, but the laco or tulle chapeau is always most pleasing In the larger model; the rather low-crowned, wide brimmed shape which is called in England Eng-land the "garden hat" and which makes no pretensions to eccentricity or to extreme chic In its lines. The shepherdess style, with brim slightly drooping at back and front is particularly particu-larly graceful one of the hats pictured pic-tured is in this familiar shape and N another pleasing shape Is the droP-Ing. droP-Ing. or mushroom-brim sailor. The white laco hat and the black Jetted ; net model are of this type. Tho con- I ventlonal sailor shape, with square crown and straight brim standing out at a right angle thereto never makes a charming transparent hat. smart as this type has been considered during the past season. A transparent brim should slope slightly downward, so that one sees through It the face and lower part of tho hair; not tho top of the head with the hat crown fitted over it. The straight brims of tulle or lace which stand out like a halo, allowing al-lowing the silhouette of the crown to show through as tho head is tipped back or to ono side, are really very trying to most women. If anything could be lovelier In the hat line than the three transparent models pictured; if anything could be more graceful, more picturesque, more summery in suggestion, one has difficulty diffi-culty in imagining 1L One of these hats Is of creamy lace laid over flesh pink tulle Nattier blue velvet ribbon Is tied around the crown and the bow nt the back has fluttering ends which fall Just over the edge of tho brim S. voral large, palo pink roses clustered clus-tered in green loaves are posed around the top of the crown. Tho cream lace blouse and ornaments of pink tourmaline tourma-line and green gold, worn with this coram, pink and palo green leaved hat augment Its loveliness. For very formal wear; for restaurant restau-rant dining or Juno wedding receptions recep-tions or college commencement week Are Bewitching and Can Be Made at Home festivities Is the handsome model of Jetted net Llcht as a feather In spite of the Jet beadB and paillettes, Is this hat which Is made of two layers of lino black silk not. The crown fits down closely over tho head and tho hair shows through a most attractive Idea when tho hair happens to be coppery bronze in tone. Tea roses and sprays of small, creamy blossoms surround tho base of tho crown and stray ovor the transparent brim, and the flowers aro arranged against a band of velvet ribbon in a wonderful deep yot soft bluo shade. Under tho brim, at tho loft oiu of tho hat. is a bow of this ribbon with a long streamer that Is tossed around the neck, beneath the chin In the mannor pictured This hat has been duplicated in Jetted net, red roses and red velvet ribbon for a tall, dark young woman who will wear It during commencement week at Annapolis An-napolis along with a frock of red and white candy-r,trlped taffeta, and a second sec-ond frock of white Georgette and dahlia red faille matinee silk. For tho girl to whom red is becoming will wear a deal of It this year, whllo it Is high In fashion's esteem! Another charming transparent hat. Just completed by a pretty girl who has been fashioning It for an after-Easter after-Easter occasion, Is of black lace straw, with pink roses and ribbon. Tho difficult diffi-cult edge-cording was not attempted In this Instance. A light shepherdess-shape shepherdess-shape wire framo was secured and under un-der tho brim was put a shirred facing of black tulle, a tiny heading and two rows of shirring hiding the wire at tho edge. Over the brim was laid black lace-straw, tho scalloped edgo projecting pro-jecting Just a trifle beyond tho heading head-ing of black tulle and hiding the wire from an upper view. Tho straw was placed on tho brim flat, and was slightly slight-ly gathered In around the large, low crown. This crown was covered first with black not and then with tho black lacc-straw, but little of tho crown shows. A wide, pale pink taffeta ribbon rib-bon was folded to three-inch width and tied around tho base of tho crown with a crisp bow at the right side, ends and loops about four inches long, and around tho top of tho crown Is a double row of palo pink roses, or rather, rath-er, half-opened buds.
