PLAY UP THE HAT
Gage
A bright hat needs a setting. The rest of the outfit should be toned down, so there's nothing to detract from the costume-no other distracting noshes of colour; no atten- tion-stealing baubles; no cluttering detail to spoll the perfection of the portrait. This is how Miss Marcy Wescott, comedy star, on the New York stage, has played down her new season outfits in order to play up the colour ful Gage headpieces she has chosen to offset them.
NOW, HUNDREDS OF TANTALIZING NEW GAGE SUMMER HATS INCLUDING ALL THOSE CLASSIC MODELS WHICH MISS WESCOTT HAS CHOSEN HERSELF ARE OFFERED AT:
20% CASH DISCOUNT!
