stitches made of heavy white silk
adorn the crown, and a single row fin
ishes the ~brim-edge. A band of velvet
ribbon confines the crown, and a but
terhy of white crystal beads suggests
a bit of frost painting. This is a beau
tiful and unusual development Of the
picture hat.
Suited to the matron as well as to
the younger woman, the sailor hat of
white corduroy and satin, faced with
black velvet, is of the sort that may
be worn anywhere. The upper brim
and top crown are of corduroy. and
the side crown is covered with satin
laid in folds. Odd, new ornaments of
beads and curving ribs of feathers. or
"feelers," as they are called, are ap-
| piled to the crown.

Fascinating boudoir caps are made
by crocheting heavy silk thread in an
open design. They are shaped like
the caps made for infants, and fin
ished with crocheted shell or seal
lops about the edge. Ribbon is run
in them about the face and across the
back. 1t fits the cap to the head and
d%ecorates it at the same time.
Crocheted hats are made of silk
fiber, chenille, or wool, and are very
smart for motor wear, for travelling,
and for the street. Fine wire is used
in shaping them, and they are made
by professional workwomen who un-
derstand how to conceal the wire in
the %crocheted stitches.

of small lemon and orange blossoms.
These fiat brimmed sailor shapes are
more fashionable than ever.
They are rather larger than the
sailor hats of last year-wider In the
brim-and they are trimmed with
small clusters of flowers or not

considered sufficient to give a finished
appearance to the hat.

material in large quantities and are
