Summer Outfits That Cost You Almost Nothing |

hand, it's the time when we seem to need most clothes, what with summer sports, week-end jaunts, full-blown holi- days, to say nothing of hum-drum affairs like business and home-running.
So during this month I am choosing patterns that are specially simple to make.
For instance, you can make in a single evening any of the hats pictured here to-day. And it's smart to have a hat of the sume material as your dress or sult.
They are all cut from But- terlek Pattern 8001, obtaininble at any store. If you order your pattern to-day and get your material to-morrow you can make it Sunday evening and wear it

The pattern includes pieces for two quite different style hals, and each of these styles may be worn in three differen! wnys. So you get plenty of variely for your one pattern.
Ventilation Crown
FIRST of all let's con-
sider the Breton sallor type shown in the Brat drawing. It's got one of those smart new crowns that let your hair show through. The very thing for a hot summer day.

Then lay the two pieces together in the form of a cross. Tack the corners
of the cross together-and there you

Now leave the crown for a few minutes while you see to, the brim. This is cul in one sweeping curve from two thicknesses of material. Line both the upper and lower pieces with book muslin, stlich the site scam of each so that the two circles ure complete and then stitch both clrcles together to form a nice firm brim.
Work double rows of machine stitching at regular intervals; add a ribbon bant to the inside edge of the brim, then on to this band stitch the crown. Slip another short plece of doubled fabric through the open- ing in the crown and tie it firmly in a rabbit's ear knot right at the top. Add a narrow band of stitched fabric round the crown and the hat is ready to wear.
Contrast and Colour
You could make it in linen with a contrasting effect say a navy
crown and white brim to wear with a short white linen cont
and navy dress and navy and white shoes.
Or it would look very guy at the seaside made of one of these fally novelty colton fabrics printed with little green and red ships or comic fish or bird designs,
