Hats won't cover a multitude OF sins
in the hairdressing line any more.
You've got to have good do on
your hair nowadays because the very
smartest chapeauX can easily be seen
through. There are two popular forms
of the transparent hats-the one a
simple straight flat brim composed of
two layers of maline stretched
smoothly over the wire frame-the
other has the brim composed of a
wide floppy ruffle of the maline, dou-
BILE thickness, with occasional wires
"a dating from the crown to keep the
ruffle from going altogether.
While transparent crowns of the
same maline are still very good, the
latest effect is to have velvet crown
in the midst of the gauzy brim. The
open face hats are most stunning in all
black with a single yellow or pink rose
as the only adornment but all white
hats Or delicate pinks and blues are
also most fetching with sheer summer

it is the material de lux for summer
frocks and blouses. In all delicate
tints, either plain or strewn with
PompadOur garlands it is the quin-

a new triumph of the weaver'S art

as beautiful. and supreme from the
wash as Venus from the wave.

cuffs, the many quaint fichus and
kerchiefs that now adorn the Victor

so very, very sheer that it leaves alb

This IS a defect, however, that per-
