Picture hats serve a double pur-
pose, now that hot days are here.
They are the most ornamental type
of headgear that you can wear.
And at the same time, they are a
big help in the all-important mat
ter of keeping cool.
You can make this handsome
wide-brimmed hat with its smart
shallow crown. You simply crochet
it from one fold of crepe paper!
1t is the perfect summer hat,
because it comes in the category of
the not-too-rough-st type, yet
enough to have a certain casual IN
formality about it that is perfect
this season. Moreover, costing to
little, you can have hat for every
summer costume!
This hat is made from three col
ors, sand, vivid green and dark
brown. Cut the srepe paper across
the grain in one-half inch wide
strips. Stretch carefelly, then twist
the strips loosely. Use a steel cro-
Chef hook No 0. Use the single
crochet stitch, inserting your hook
each time, in the back half OF the
stitch.

in the summer care Of roses is dis
ease protection and prevention.
One Of the latest products which
is providing popular is a chemical
dust made Of manganese arsenate,
which is at once a fungicide and
insecticide. Tests made in nurseries
are said to show the efficiency OF
the dust in the control of such
major rose diseases as black spot,
mildew, and brown canker. Grow
ers have found that the dust also
controls most leaf-eating insects
and the red spider, as well. Experts
advise that roses be busted or
sprayed once a week. A particular
