The first hat mother seeks for her wee
girl when the trees. with their multi-col-
orod foliage, foretell the coming OF a new
season is the knockabout hat-,he lat "a
wear 10 school and 10 don again in the
afternoon for the romp until supper hour.
From q fashion point Of view there is very
little that is new in This selection.
The most serviceah'e hat IS the piquant
little blacl; or dark brown plush or velour
hat. This is a delightfully."- flexible bit Of
headgeaT which may be turned up o.!

these felts. but they are generally re-
served for the best hat rather than the
headgear which IL hung up or the nail OF
the school dressing room. In the blues
