LOVELY MIDSUMMER HATS
The designer of these hats must
have been dreaming of midsummer
for they are as beautiful as flowers.
The broad-brimmed model at the top
has a crown made of rows of baby
ribbon. In pink velvet set close to-
gether and the brim Is of Swiss hair
bruid in the same color. A facing of
embroidered chiffon in pink also is so
placed that the scalloped edge falls
from the brim.
Below is a rich hat of purple straw
and purple velvet. Small bunches of
velvet grapes on natural stems with
tendrils make a wonderful trimming.
This is an exquisite piece of millinery
art and its wearer can afford a smile
of triumph behind the short “bul
masque” flounce of chautilly luce.
