outline; they are--very many OF them
ALMOST exactly like the lovely hats
depicted by Winterhalter in his paint
ing 81 the Empress Eugene and her
atte1dant ladies. And side by side
witht}hese wide-brimmed hats we find
the eaats Wattsal, shapes which seem
like d Nat plateau and which are
raised to an extraordinary height at
the back.
In the sketch you will find a beauti-
full model of Vatican hat. The orig
inal model was made Of fine tuscan
with wide band of black velvet rib,
bon passed over the fiat crown, and
at the back, where the brim turned up
very sharply, there was large cluster
of silver gray marabout feathers.
These fat Vatican hats can be
worn thrown back a little to sho"
the hair in front or they can be raised
high at the back and tilted forward
to shade the face. They are quaint
and original in outline, but with sum
mer gowns of lace or fine muslin they
will have huge success.
