Mourning silk that is, silk .in a special weave having a ricl. ibut .dull surface makes the band a;bout the head. It is laid in a triple fold over a support of buckramette. The ibaret-ta ibaret-ta crown is not so easy to manage ;as one might imagine. First a supporting support-ing arown of crinoline is shaped and sewed to the brim support. Over this a thin silk is placed, cut and shaped to follow the crinoline, exactly. On the foundation band of buckramette buckram-ette a covering of thin silk is first V - v placed. Over this at its upper edge a bias fold of crape is stretched. At the under edge a similar fold of silk is placed and over this the triple fold of mourning silk. The smart crown of crape has finally final-ly to be placed. It is a little higher than the supporting crown of crinoline and is indented about the outer edge. The crape must be tacked to the foua-lation foua-lation with invisible stitches, as other-wise other-wise it will not stay in place. The crown is made of a circular piece of with the. raw edge turned under and blind-stitched into a narrow hem. The extra fulness of crape is laid in irregular folds, at any place on the band where it becomes necessary to dispose of it. This depends upon thg shape of the crown. 'It will be seen that the crape us almost plain across the front, but .has considerable fulness ful-ness at the right. side and apparentlj less at the left. The crape lies ;almost plain across the back of the shape also. The hemmed edge is tacked to the uppei edge of the band with its fulness dis. posed of in this way and this finishes the hat except for the small flat bow made of the silk and sewed to the band at the right side. The home milliner who knows how to sew neatly may undertake this hat. it is one of the few crape hats which can be trusted to other than profes-sional profes-sional makers. Mourning millinery is (Considered difficult to make even by professionals. B.ut epecialists who have been trained in the possibilities of cra.pe achieve marvelous results with it ' JUUA BOTTOMLEY. |
