is T., remove the two outer circles of
wire leaving an actual brim founda-
ton of but an inch or two. The fioun-
ces of pleated lawn and lace or of en-
broidery will then rest very softly and
prettily on the hair.
The first thing to do is to cover the
wire frame with some thin yet not too
sheer material White cotton null is
excellent for this purpose; and to this
fabric foundation the outer covering
may be easily sewed. Most of the wire
frames come with the big crowns at
tached loosely to the brim by fine wires,
and these wires should be shipped away
detaching the crown which may later
be fastened on again when brim and
crown are covered This makes the
task much easier.
The mortar board hat is a new idea
which rings a pleasant change on the
familiar bebe hat of lingerie material.
The low crown with it's two strips of
embroidery has been set over the brim
on which is arranged a square of en-
broidery, accomplished by mitering the
diagonal ends of four strips of en-
broidery founcing. These strips are
slightly fulled and lie very gracefully
on the brim of the hat, the points of
the square coming at front and back
and on the sides.
The brim of this wire shape has been
first covered with allover embroidery;
but between this circular brim and the
mitered square will go two pleated
ruffles of fine lawn edged with lace.
These ruffles will extend beyond the
stiff circular brim and will throw the
square over them into relief
Under the brim will be sewed tiny frills
of Val lace in close rows. A ribbon
band and bow will complete a very
charming summer hat.
Lingerie hats of SHRED white null
are very soft and dainty in effect Such
a hat is easy to make, but plenty of
material should be shirred over the
frame, for the beauty Of such hat will
depend on the generous amount of fine,
soft null used The brim may be cas-
lily covered with a strip of the null, and
a row of shirring over a heavy white
cord, placed about an inch inside the
edge, gives a pretty effect. Another
long strip of the null, shirred over
cords, will go around the crown and
the upper edge of the strip should be
gathered into a small circle on the
center of the top of the crown. Or the
null brim may have a tam crown of
allover embroidery, lightly stiffened
with plain lawn.
Lavender and rose pink null lingerie
hats are something new this year and
these pretty hats are made by hand
with tiny pin tucks run across the
part which forms the crown. Some
times little set punches of violets or
moss roses are placed at intervals
around the crown and frequently there
are long streamers of velvet ribbon in
the pink or lavender shade.
One lovely lingerie" hat, very easy
to copy, was made of a huge circle of
allover Val lace, thrown over a mush-
room shape of pink straw. The lace
circle was edged With narrow frill of
Val, which hung below the straw hat
brim. A band of black velvet ribbon
held the lace drapery over the hat and
at one side was tucked big, pale pink
rose. This hat might be copied in
lavender straw with purple velvet rib
bon and violets; or in pale blue straw
with bunch Of forget me- nots at the
side.
