proud king Of the barnyard. When the
flowers are carefully shaded the result
is delightful. with all the charm OF the

shows the flowers outlining the brim Of
the hat. The smaller posies. such as
pansies. forget-me-nots. rosebuds. etc.
are selected for this style Of trimming.
and when the same idea is reproduced
on the edges OF the parasol the effect is
truly lovely.
