Chic Chapeaux New Spring Shapes
DESCRIBED IN DETAIL. oIlvETTE

With the return of Spring
and Spring blossoms, flowers
are coming into their own
again for trimmings on hats
and gowns and for a touch of
brightness on bodice and coat.
The hat whose brim is fairly
massed with blooms has not
been with us for several sea-

us this year as something
new.
These brightly decke d
chapeaux bring a touch of
brightness to the end-of-the-

black velvet. It is shaped in
