Five New Hats
-and they must be worn on the front of your
head
FORWARD and veiled are about the only
two hat rules this season.
The hats you see here have been chosen because they look becoming as well as in fashion.
Black shiny straw folded up like so much stiff paper on the front of the head. Tiny crown held on by wide band of ribbon round back of head. You need good features and some curls to do well by this..
Black and felt and a sports hat. The fan of felt. on front of crown i st gathered up by a thread of leather. Brim curls up all round, but dips. bver ont eye. Line that suits a round face. Note: Leather lacing to jumper top, linking up with one on hat.
Square crown top, squarish beim and a veil-so coarse. It is black and straw again, with a bow of the straw holding down the veil. Should suit most of you, especially the big-eyed.
