LONDON FASHION NOTES, ' [FUOW OUR own coebesponpent.] •'-' ; ....-' M . '..-,. .... ■ London, June 9. Fob morning wear some of the most pleasing of the new hats are made in a modified mushroom shade in fine chip, to match the colour of ■: the dress.;; Thcso are trimmed quite simply with a full ruche of tulle, box .; pleated, of the same colour., placed round the crown, the under brim 'being filled in with flowers or else with a full bow of ribbon velvet. Ribbon, by the way, is beginning to be used to a vast extent once mere, piled up into tall bows of the type that used ;to be worn several ; years ago.; Hats with a tilt up at the back have high loops of ribbon piled on top. Moire ribbons are used to a large extent, and some of them :are shot, ein addition to being watered, so, that some of the soft opalescent, shades of 'grey and pink are _ very dainty and- are used on" crinoline hats, which are further trimmed with ;i roses and - lilac. '■, Quite a number of lingerie, hats arc- to be seen.. These are so: simple and yet so stylish. The prettiest 'are made of row upon row of ';' narrow Valenciennes lace in ecru colour, with: a band of coloured;.ribbon finished in a bow. round the crown, and the ■ samo riboon ; or else a spray of coloured • flowers introduced underneath ; the ': shady brim. ;,With ' muslin dresses these lingerie hats are;very appropriate. Some are made of broderie Anglaise,.but, these,.of course, wo plainer in style. Often i the broderie is. placed over a 'coloured ' foundation and; banded with *, ribbon, of ,the' l same colour.' Bunches of .peach blossom or apple blossom are rather : pretty on, the lingerie hats, but quite the nicest of all are those made merely of lace, in full frills, and a touch of coloured ribbon. = Hatpins seem: to be. becoming ,more. and more important and noticeable items in the dress catalogue; some yen' dainty ones aro made of; light' shea." 1 here are many dainty jewelled : hatpins,; some of the latest being made of pink quartz} in lovely tones.' Large bads, long drops, and even simple flowers are cut out, of the quartz, to serve as hatpins, and these make effective touches of colour to light hats -and toques. The monogram hatpin, is an imposing and important type. It is flat and of quite large dimensions, ; and : made of silver .oo f gold, though the ;monogram;itself is not chased ;oh to the metal. "The: letters are worked with ;silks ; or; .metal. threads upon gauze or r cloth of gold ;'uijd ".fastened,;found ;'■■■ a softly-padded head with a flat top. The effect may 'be either silver or gold .or else shot with; colour from the lining silk. .Hatpinswith fruit-heads are often seen, especially bunches of small cherries, which dangle in most realistic fashion. In the same way floral heads\ are fitted; to other hatpins, and among the .new variety one must not omit ;to mention - the '.. New > Zealand green-stone-headed; hatpins, which are in great demand, the jade often falling from a little chain attached to the top of the pin, which itself is of gold., Coloured veils, continue to be worn to a great extent! 'They are light and usually of a tone to suit/ tho. complexion and ;are most often of tulle. These ; veils are quite large and some are 1 ! bordered '. with a - hemof crepe or;with a. tiny waved flounce ofthe same ; ' colour as the tulle. , The veil and . the long scarf for the neck often correspond. ' ' It is announced that the newest idea at present is the . trimming of ; light evening cloaks of. chiffon arid silk muslin with rawedged bands of the: softest possible cloth and decoupe flower-motifs of the same. In some instances evening;. wraps are made of alternate bands of • cloth and lace with ; triple ;- highwaymen;. capes formed yof : , the same. i Lattice-work effects - are • noticeable upon evening .clqaks,. sometimes;taking,; the €orm : of ; cross-lacing '. on either ';. side or else being introduced in .the; shape of- wide" boleros ;qf gathered lattice-work, ribbon or; chenille. The ribbon or chenille is knotted at each intersecting point arid this,knot has much the; appearance ;of a" small ■ button. Capucine hOods . are' once more a, ; feature ;of many evening wraps made,of frill upon • frill- ;of : Alencon ; lace over gold of; silver tissue;'■•>•"'■ The-colour of. the moment'.'for, even- ' ■ ing wraps is considered to be a soft and; rather', dull* pink with a. suggestion, of. brickred": about- it. It is officially known as "colibri" or humming-bird, and \is considered to be the predominant colour hi the plumage of this little bird. '; ' : r ; :h --' : SO^ : - -O
