Paris Fashion Arbiters Decree a White Summer

whatever else we set light store upon,
Il Is assuredly not the Paris hat. The
newest chapeau IS all white lsee but
the black hat has 50 firmly established
itself in favor that We wonder how we
ever did without 1t. Can anything be

poleon is the craze OF the season.
A chic example Is IN champagne

with folds OF white tuIle. and q sta
white osprey springs from black vel
vet cockade rosette on the left side, n
the center OF which Is placed q wheel

with turquoises.
Another lovely togue IS OF white ivory
straw with narrow frills OF black chan

Very becoming and cOquettish are all
the hats OF the day without a sugges-

up. for which blessing We should be de-
voutly thankful.
