Show Midsummer Millinery Copied From Paintings of Beauties of the Past , iff .:S-': 'r!: ::f:J. :: :v 4MtA ''.' s, w ' Vx-1 . - -' y PAINTINGS of beauties of other days have been looked to, to furnish inspiration for midsummer midsum-mer millinery of today. The Gainsborough and Rembrandt hats follow fol-low their models almost exactly as to line and poise, only departing from them in composition and trimming. Even here it is the necessity for va. riety that brings Into use new ornaments orna-ments and fashionable feathers or flowers. No one can fail to appreciate the beauty of this artistic headwear, and, for the young woman who can carry it off (that is, dress in keeping and look after the carriage o her figure) fig-ure) there is nothing to compare to it for distinction. Two of the finest examples of these picturesque styles are illustrated here. They are both black hats with white trimming. This combination always is brilliant. The Rembrandt is of fine Milan with double brim, woven so that it rolls under to the head size. Black velvet ribbon and a tuft of black and white plumes afford its trimming. It is to be worn with a decided de-cided tilt, never any less than that shown in the picture. The wide brimmed hat of black lace follows its original model less closely, but is not difficult to recognize. The brim is outlined with white crystal beads and the cockade of white ostrich os-trich is mounted with a fringed ca-bochon ca-bochon made of the same kind of beads. The brim is indented at the left and turns sharply off the face here. It widens toward the back. This hat may be worn with a much more decided tilt by girls who are tall and full of figure.
