Three models in blue and white are pic

Another hat with tailored flowers is
shown in the semi-bonnet shape Of white
plush designed for fall motoring. This
hat has the comfortable sort Of shape that
will stay on when the wind blows-under
a veil Of course It is faced with navy
blue taffeta. and the queer little roses that
surround the brim are made Of white
