He Gave This Little Hat a Hand

MR

JR JOHN indulges his puckish ten- dencies whenever he pleases, right

in the centre of a serious collection, if that is when it suits him. Result, in this instance, a hat with a stuffed glove for trimming, lifelike even to a gold filigree ring on one finger. There it is, to the right... It is basically a toque, made of pretty blue velvet, and with it is worn hat gloves to match. Give this little three good hands!

Above is a typical, crisp hat of pure chic from the same designer. It is a Spanish type, perhaps ecclesiastic in origin... four cornered, draped from black wool organza, and with & veil stretched over the face beneath fastening high behind with gem stones attached at the ends.
