It is strange, that along with the undoubted Russian influence in all forms of dress this Summer, there should come sailing over the horizon the type of hat which we associate with strawberṛica, and such Gargantuan strawber- ries.

There is another type of im- mense hat which is not Victorian.! It is of black straw with a crown as large as a turban, triniaed with a wicked and rakish black bird, boating a tail out of all proportion to its fellows.

said tail strikes a path across the front of the hat and flies into space "beyond the limits of the owner's shoulders. Yet both these bata, expressing a different philosophy, are worn, copied, and praised.
Harking back to history thei milliner has taken the hats of men and women who have never ceas- ed to wear clothes that are cle- mental la colouring, clothes which are intended to offset the dullness of the landscape in which they are doomed to live, and yet as bright as tho clothes of Southern Russia, where people are Jike; children in their love of lively colours, of bouyant and noisy dancing, of strident fashions.
One designer takes the cap from such costumery of ancient Russia and touches it with suff- cleat French delicacy to trans- form it into something that it is well to wear. Its light brim is rolled up, its high loose crown has no stiffening, and its narrow- ed top is turned over and toward the front like an envelope flap.
