Fashion approves the hat of silk

be large, but it is in good fash

quite smart little hat of black
taffeta turns up in front, flares

Sometimes silk and straw is

effective combination - like a
wide-brimmed model of rich,
dark brown, with glistening
straw crown, brim of brown
crepe to match, and a knot of
ribbon and a fancy ornament by
way of trimming.
Another of these combinations
has the loveliest Springlike
green silk top and a brown straw
facing. The hat itself is in a
rather daring shape with an up
turned, flaring brim and a short
back.
