Individual Hats at
Greg0ire-P ellegrini's
Spring Showing

Individuality, that Is the word
which most aptly describes the hats
at the Gregoire & Pellegrini millinery
shop. Exquisite workmanship Is
brought into play by the cheating of
hats, each one different and each one
places it easily in a class by itself.
Bows, knots, frills, flowers of lovely
design and even the touch Of the ar
fist in hand painted figures, all aid in
making beautiful hats as shown at
the above clever shop.
Swiss hair braid is a soft, finely
woven shiny straw which they use
SO effectively in many of their dressy
models. Imagine broad brimmed
hat of this lovely stuff with it's big
crown covered to overlooking with
silk raisins. Sounds inviting doesn't
it. The raisins, which are tiny
puckered up silk affairs are made in
lunches Of bright browns and tans
and enough of the orange shade to
liven It all. The hat, in a whole, is
developed in necre shades.
The very new trimming across the
top back is shown in a Swiss hair
braid hat in brown. The lily wreath,
big luscious flowers, Is carried out in
shades Of brown. soft and velvety.
Bright colored, huge silk roses.
Ealf opened, trim a black hat of this
lovely Swiss braid. The flowers are
perched high on the crown, toward
the side back. Swiss braid hats in
the pansy shades trimmed with lots
of rich colored flowers are also
shown.
And a JOY to the eye are the
group Of matrons' hats which they
are showing. Clever lines are fol-
lowed out in the hair braid; some Of
the hats are high crown and some
are low. In rich browns and blues
and in black. These hats are shown.
A wreath Of bright colored flowers,
cleverly placed and subdued with
cverdrape Of the lovely braid, add
lust the right touch Of color.
And tailored hats are shown In
various sizes and shapes-just the
thing to wear with the popular tall
ored suit. A blue milan hat has a
flare bow right square in front. When
the hat is tried on the effect Is very
pleasing. Pink facing and q clever
little whirl of pink form the sole
trimming on another tailored model
of black milan.
Meadowbrook is the name Of a
wonderful line of sport hats. Bang
kok Is sued to such lovely effect IN
these hats. A bangkok hat in the
natural color has for its trimmings
huge flowers Of straw in various
colors. Then tube roses OF softest
pink felt go around the crown OF
another Meadowbrook hat of charm
ing design. Imported Java Is another
in the tortoise shell brown. Gold
beads nestle in folds Of brown rib
ton and the entire hat. with the ex-
ception Of the gold beads, Is one or
the sole lovely shade.
Crabapple is crepe dc chine hat,
wide of brim and big OF crown.
powder blue is the silk embroidery
and the beads which further trim 1t.
A wonderful line of black hats are
shown, exquisite works Of hand. One
entirely black hat has its entire
crown covered with braid, all hand
done. Many lovely hats of black
lace, some with daring black bows,
are shown.
Gray and also yellow are very
smart for summer hats. Entire hats
made of crepe de chine in these
lovely shades are shown. The trim
mings for them are simple but. ef-
fective. Crocheted buttons dot the
brim and crown Of wide crocheted
limbo hat in the crabapple shade.
Tubular hair braid weaves in and
out, around the buttons and the en-
tire results delightful.
Many types Of gayly embroidered
hats in all colors, for sport wear are
shown,
