For Country Club and Sports Wear

The Country Club" hat has arrived
In the ranks of the sports hat with
a title hat impels respect and merits
that deserve it. All quarters of the
globe have been ~ransacked to provide
this aristocrat in millinery for women
who are devoted to outdoor life and
there are wonderful weaves in straw
hats from China, Japan, India, the
Hawaiian islands, South America, and
our own land. The shapes are much
like those of sports hats which were
launched for spring of which three are
pictured in the group above.
The Country Club" hat is most SIM
ply trimmed with a band and bow
of narrow ribbon, often like 1t In color.
There is nothing tame about ii In spite
of this simplicity, for 1t has the cour-
age of color and ONE in all the more
or less vivid shades which hats for
sports wear have made the vogue. Be
sides white, there are emerald, gold,
purple, rose, turquoise, apple green,
chartreuse and navy in the gay process
sion, and two-toned hats-in certain
weaves with underbrims In contrasting
cOlors.
These last shapes for country and
sports wear represent the utmost in eff
fort of expert block makers. They are
intended to meet the demands of wom-
en- of critical and educated taste and
must fit comfortably to begin with,
| Without being unusual in shape they
must embody beautiful lines and sc
much style that they place themselves

at a glance just where they belong-in
the front rank of millinery excellence.
Along with their severely simple
hats, others, like those pictured, with
a little trimming, find themselves just
as p~resentable and welcomed for the
sake of variety.
