What about that cherished hat Of

me recently that the hatless habit Of
Albuquerque women was anything but

surely has character sites Of recon-

But if you have a hummer hat in
need Of rciuvenation. here are "A few
means toward that end.
Cover the faded hat crow with
figured satin or with Dresden Gre

straw. Then make of the satin or
cretonne q huge Alastian or windmill

or cover the crown again with the
tightly woven pulled straw used for the
popular automobile bonnets in a shade

side a huge square of the straw,
mounted over cardboard, bound with
half inch velvet in a contrasting shade
and with Il circle Of velvet tubing in

ed with ribbon would also be pretty In
this way, and can be sgarched or wired
for the outstanding bow.
Where only the trimmings are worn
and faded the task Is easy. Try max
ing an enormous square buckle OF

wound closely round and round over

through this a scarf of the same Per-

And another good idea is the paint
