The Knitted Hat.

whether il was becoming or not, the
sporting hat of this season will be
made to simulate all the fashionable
millinery In the tailored styles They
are so comfortable and chic In ap-
pearance that they will be used for
any knockabout wear. Many pretty
ones are displayed with the misses

made in silks and chenilles. besides
ratines, woods and cottons. all admit
