of the drawing is seen a hat of the
large, picture variety. It Is des-

ual trim of sheer velvet.
Unadorned, save for a velvet
bow that trims the crown and
slips through the brim TO yield an
under brim half bow. it is COM
pletely smart and chic.
Felt has been rather neglected
as important material in Sum-
mer hats, and used generally a

hats of soft pliable straw. 1t. how

out sports wear in hats similar to
