FRESHENING UP THE OLD HAT.

• 'WCfCH MAY BE DONE WITH MALINES. ?-1 this season or the year the hat trunk is quite sure to present a sorry oomlition, unless, the supply of head-. ge/'M* h-as .been -.i v&ry generous one. Th’V sun will Lava robbed the flowers of their pristine bloom, the dust will have settled unceremoniously in the fold;: o-f the ribbon trimmings,-and the fleathery fancies will have taken on a droopy look. . , . ff an -entirely new hat is not advisable at least new trimmings should be nut on. The largo hows of lace or j a .alines are wonderfully useful in refreshing a hat, provided the straw Can -ho induced to take- a fiesh lease of existence.' Ruffles of lace are likewise beroming, and add a new wrinkle Y/tion. attache.! to fall over the brim, llinding the brim with lace is another fancy of the late summer which gives ft, new look to a hat. f/f,alines will be found one. of the kindest aids in this refurbelowing prooesf.. Eats mad© entirely of malines fere good bet wee 11-season hats, as they have i-he features of both seasons. A charming model for a malines hat is thc> sable colored hat, trimmed with narrow hands of -brown fur. A large, fiat hat of black maline was lined with white malines, with one large pink rose nestling among its green leaves, perched over the right ear. Ti you do not care to use malines or tulle' there is always satin to fall back upon. At present in Paris, and before », few weeks we shall see them here, satin, hats are being worn. One of the most popular shapes is the _ Tam o' Chanter crown, or black or white satin, with the stiff quill-like trimming at the, side. In Paris this trimming is generally of aigrettes, which are under the ban here, hut there are very good imitations among the fancies, says the New York “Tribune.” If you have a neat little shape which is becoming, you cannot make a mistake, by covering the crown with satin —>a. gold tone is Very good looking—and -either leaving -the brim of the straw or covering it with black velvet. Turbans of satin are very new, and white satin is the favored material, although many women prefer a color matching the costume. Oriental beads are draped in garland fashion over the part folds of the brim, and a fancy shoots directly upward from the front. A. hat -of '-white chnrmeuse has. a broad square crown and a narrow brim which rolls up in the proper fashion at the right side. Cordings of the material outline the base and top of the crown, while through the centre is -a narrow hand of white bengaline ribbon, finished in the .front with a small square buckle of gold and black enema!, and in the back with a tiny flat bow. Such a hat is not difficult to make, yet- one would, help out tremendously .among the hats for the waiting Bummer weeks. .

A. Panama hat may be given a new effect bv covering the upper brim and crown with flowered ehiffoh. and binding the edge ■with white moire ribbon A narrow hand of the moire ribbon encircles the crown at the hasp, ending in ? tight- how on the left- side.
