question is to know how to carry them.
it is two-thirds of the charm. The best
appointed gown in the world will look

looks well on her. About your hat. /
hope you got one without violets or a
big rose. The modest violet has held
sway as the special decoration of the
spring hat for so many years that ii
must now take Il back seat, and that
huge, nodding. pink rose has nodded its
rongc too. 1t has been copied in too
cheap musins to be liked by exclusive
women. So it is the dernier cry to select
,olhe particular individual blossom and
use il on your hat this year. And your
gown, what color? Gray is the correct
