There are hats to suit all sizes and
types and with such variety from
which to choose the woman who could
not be suited would surely be hard
to find.
Such colors! The old rose shades
and browns are very stylish this sea

black, and combinations OF the two
that are always striking and in good
taste. The wisterias and yellows were
dainty and very attractive, while the
greens, pinks and blue combined with
other shades were very effective.
Flowers and fruit are used together
this year; also both large and small
flowers, the lilac being very popular
Jet is used a great deal.
The tub shapes and a sort of bee
hive hat seem very much liked. The
crowns are all large and high and the
brim isn't so small either-it really
appears that wen have to wear bic
