The Campaign Hat.
From Harper's Bazaar.

From Harper's Bazaar.
The exaggerated fashion for wearing
campaign hats has fortunately died out,
and only schoolgirls are seen in the hats
Of that shape. These hats are capital
things for school wear, and are prettiest
when made Of the light felt, trimmed with
quill thrust through the ribbon at the left
side. They must not be too large in the
crown or too wide in the brim. and 1t is
now considered very bad taste to wear the
regulation army hat with an army orna-
ment. The fashion is one that is cross
between the Alpine and the army hat. and
is very good, as has been said for school
wear. 1t never looks well on a woman over
thirty-flve years old, for the lines are very
trying.
A great deal more depends upon the veil
that is worn with the hat then most people
understand. In buying veil to be worn
as to the size Of the dots. Too closely wov-
en- veil, with the dots close together, is
not becoming, while some of the very sheer
wells are equally trying. The best mesh
Is fine one-that is, a clear one with a
cobweb pattern, and chenille dots not too
near together. If an entirely plain veil is
worn, the cobweb pattern must be q pro-
that the lines are drawn up, not down.
The wells are all worn so that they reach
just below the chin, and are long enough
to fasten at the back with pin, but not
to have floating ends. For the small bon
nets the very sheer yelling is altogether the
best-that is. the kind without any dots
at all; indeed. there is a rage at present
for the plain yelling. which is welcome
change the dots being very trying for the
eyes.
