THE MARINA
i
HÄT
PRE VIEW
One of the advantages of the fashionable pork-ple, or ""Prin- cess Marina," hat is that it cán be made at little or no special cost from shapings of velvet, silk, or cloth Even a scarf of firm texture; may be used. Take an
old hat or, if none is available, buy a felt shape, cut off the crown where this Joins the brim, and unless the colour is suitable cover. It with thin silk. Cut a three to four inch wide strip of buckram, thin cardboard, or sheets of thick "drawing paper pasted together, long enough to reach round the crown at the lower edge and a little longer at the top of each end. This extra length keeps the finished brim from tightening the crown. If a pointed effect is wanted, cut two pieces of the stif fening, each measuring half th: -circumference of the crown at the lower edge, and three-quarters of an inch wide at the top one. Bind the ends and join them with- out overlapping. Cover the re- sulting circle with the material chosen, bringing it well down in- side, at the top, and making flat inverted pleats,or a fold, under the points. Line the inside with silk or muslin. "Pull it over the crown and sew it in position from the inside of the crown. A little care will be necessary to avoid crumpling the brim while doing this. Decorate the hat with a feather or, if the crown is of felt, with a smart bow made from the original brim. The pointed brini really requires a somewhat peak- ed crown, and this is managed by pinching the latter lengthways and sewing the "pinch" together.

There are four important shapes-first, the square projecting beak; second, the crownless tambourine; third, the forward thrust; fourth, the wide off-the-face wings.
