crocheted crown. And newest
of all is the white crocheted
crown with the navy or black
straw brim.
You can see one of these in
the hat at the lower left,
sketched back view to show the
lacy crocheted crown. And the
sketch at the upper left shows
another hat with brim caught
up by a twisted knot or rib
Abon. Notice its fashionable cut
away brim.
Turned at Left Side
Another very different and
fashionable kind Of brimmed
hat is one that was sponsored
by Reboux and Talbot, the
Paris mllliners. 1t has a mar
row brim turned up very
sharply at the left side-So
sharply that almost the entire
left side of the head chow2.
It's good example of the
profile type.
If you wear this hat, as so
many fashionable women are
doing, it means taking more
care of at least the left side
of your coiffure than you've
ever taken before!
It's sketched at the upper
right eand might make you
think of Robin Hood, especially
when it has the pert little
feather such as the sketch
shows.

NEW YORK, May 5.-Brim-
full of smartneSs! Hats seen
these May days are certainly all
of that. Because it's their brims
that make so many of them SO
full of SmartnesS.
And one OF the snarteSt
things about these spring brim-
med hats is this-they don't
cover up the eyes and they don't
cover up all the hair, as brimmed
hats used to do. Not even when
they turn down all around.
Some of the newest brlmmed
hats you'd hardly think of as
brimmed at all. Because the
brims turn away from the face
sharply, with never a suggestion
of shading.
Caught up in front over one
eye is one of the most daShing
kinds to wear. At the point
where it turns the sharpest, the
brim will be caught with bow
or a flower or a twisted knot.
Show the Profile
Viewed from the side, many
of these hats actuallyNShow the
whole profile of the face, despite
their brims. And that's why,
when you try them on, you want
to. examine them carefully side
view as we'll as front-view.
The brims of hats like these
are usually of milan or baku
straw. The crowns may be of
straw, too, but newer is the

Gone are the days of drag
ging a few discarded rocking
chairs into the yard to provide
seats for our guests. The gar
den, porch or lawn, is as much
part of the home as the
living room, and these days we
must give it as much attention,
if we would have place that
seems complete and in good
taste throughout.
Color Is Interesting
There are two things that add
newnesS and attractiveneSs to
furniture for the t-of-doorS. One
is color, and the other is the
many new forms and materials
that we find in this furniture.
Comfort is also a tremendous
consideration, and to our sur
prise, we find that the stiff-look-
ing metal or wooden chairs as
comfortable as if they were
padded, with springiness that
we do not often find in fVrni-
lure Tor use IN the mouse. Re-
sistance to the weather is to be
considered, too, and if you're
going to leave your furniture out,
see that it will not be injured
by the elements. We find shat
people prefer rain-proof cushions,
even if they do not leave furni-
ture out all the time, as insur-
ance against sudden showers.
Wood or metal seems to be
the favored materials for out
of-door use, but for the porch
FURNISHED rattan is smart and
practical. 1t, as we'll as wood
and metal, is often made in
modern designs that are most
attractive, and more often Uhan
not, modern patterns decorate
the fabrics that make the

cushions or covering for out
of-door furniture. All the vivid
colors are used, but always in
harmony, and to be really effec-
tive they must fit in with the
color scheme of your garden, or
of the porch on which you
use them. There are many
lovely decorative fabrics to use
in a sun room, too; designs nd
colors that are just right with
the furniture, and, of course,
all the fabrics are Sunproof
and rainproof.
The furniture sketched is of
wood, is comfortable and not
expensive. If you care to know
