hats will soon be in season again
and a few words regarding the lat.
est kinds" in this kind of head
gear may not be amiss.
These hats seem to be trimmed
a bit more this season than last
Artificial flowers and long tulle
scarfs are used effectively on many
models.
OF course. whatever trimming is
used, it must be applied in such a
way that 1t can be easily removed
when the hat is laundried, which
must needs be often, as their chief
charm lies in their daityness.

linen may be purchased at a nomi.

embroider their own. The finished

and desired shape.
The model shown is of eyelet erl.
broidered linen. There is a cluster
OF pink roses on one side of the
crown, and another under the brim
on the same side. A tulle scarfe
draped about the crown, twined
amongst the roses and falling over
the shoulder, completes the trim
ming of the hat, which makes a
charming adjunct to a summer aft.
