Everything about these early hats pointed toward the coming of beautiful beauti-ful and softly feminine headwear for summer after a long millinery winter win-ter In which hats were more or less boyish, monotonously similar and therefore uninteresting.

It has a detached scsrf in the same color embroidered at tht ends. JULIA BOTTOMI.F.Y I (. U2. We.tern Nowlpapor Union.) j |
