a last years lace collar the prettiest
sort OF hat can be made. Use frame
without much crown. and face II with
shirred or plated chiffon IN some be-

collar until it forms a tiny crown. Place
on the frame. allowing about one and
one-half inches 70 hang over. Tack Sc
curely. but loosely. Join the back as in

with a wreath Of roses, forget-me-nots
or any flower preferred. which will add
width to the crown. Arrange the
wreath so as TO allow a spray OF leaves

pompadour ribbons scattered with flow
