There is something about Easter
that makes one think of shades of
lavender, perhaps it's the violet cor
: J sages, or the colored eggs, or the light
through the church window, but more
than likely it's the hats. Easter bon
~ nets are nearly always lavender. This
s-i year the shops have been full of
ID lavender hats, tiny demure ones with
water lily on one side, very pale
- orchid ones with fluffy ostrich tips,
~ large picture hats, medium sized pur
ha pie ones with French flowers. There
IDS a warmth about them that cries
AZ out to the heart of every woman. She
,ds would love to fill her wardrobe with
q them. They make pink or green hats
.
a too young. There is just enough
{ sophistication about an orchid hat not
asi TO spoil the air of youth; something
'i-. that a black hat seldom attains. Pur
IN pie hats are inspiring, they have
-ais suggestion of the past with a promise
,rg of the future. A psychologist would
: say they inspire extravaganza and
s5a. suggest righteousness. If one has
r'srr three hats mauve, orchid, and royal
- purple and one sees a becoming violet
sfr one, around Easter time, il is all one
can do to refrain from purchasing.

'ss nose. They soften the face Of the
9ey white haired lady. Blue eyes look
ie7 bluer beneath a strip of violet. Pur-
- pie lends a sheen TO brown eyes. They
all suggest new life, new hope, East
So er mornings.
iiias Perhaps these are some of the rea
e;- sons that Easter bonnets always come
in shades of violet. Ever since shops |
first opened. the milliners always |
! Spruce up their windows around East |
