THE little miss has a much wider
choice in hats than she had a few
years ago. Since it became the
fashion to copy shapes made for
grown-ups, in small sizes, for young
heads. children's millinery has become
much more interesting to the pur-
chaser and much less taxing in its
demands On the milliner. The variety
In shapes makes it possible, also, to
suit the child's individual style.
Two good designs are shown here,
suitable for girls from about to 16
years old. They are made on the
familiar bell and helmet shapes and
only differ from these shapes made
for grown people. in the matter of
