 The wise virgin next considered the subject Of dressy hats. She bought three chiffon shapes clinging closely in the back and shelving out prettily in front One was pure white. This she trimmed with an applique of ecru lace and under the brtm bunch of wlzte rosebuds.
 Another hat was pale pink. This she trimmed with pale pink and a pale blue hydrangea and a cluster of foliage It served to go with any gown that had pink or pale blue on 1t. Still another hat was of black chiffon. and it cost her only the amount she paid for the frame. as she trimmed it with a single long black os- trlch feather which she had removed from a winter hat and had recurled at an expense of 26 cents. Thus you will see she had four hats where the foolish girl had one.
