fame. The most generally becoming shape is
the one that wins every time. There are broad
brimmed sailors with medium crowns. high
crowned hats, and hats with sunken crowns.
There are bonnets and round toques with a low
crown and brim which turns up In the back and
droops In front. One model OF this sort In pale
green straw Is well covered with violets. one
bunch of white yiolets in front, forming q pretty
contrast, and where the brim is raised in the

ing in a bunch at the back, may adorn the hat
