away from any semblance of the
round, fiat sailor shape has brought
about q return of the mushroom. or
more properly speaking. the bowl
shaped hat. In no way the mush-
room of a year ago. with narrow
brim in front and wide brim at the
back of the head and possibly on
one side also, the bowl or bellshaped
hat Of the present season is of nearly
even proportions all around and the
brim is only curved down slightly,
while the hat itself instead of being
raised up somewhat from the head
rests as fatty as possible upon the
soft waves of hair and clusters of
puffs which comprise the fashionable
couture of the moment. If the all
around fiat effect is not becoming a
slight tilt on one side will at once al

On the whole the hats of this sum-

obligatory if one desires to look truly
sweet, even without these added
points of beauty. it is always easier
to get a good effect with no great
