Summer Hats

The vogue for all-white millinery is reflected in the lovely hat illustrated to the left. As is the way of these exotic body hats which are hand-woven of dull finished snow white soft straw, its brim falls into lines of infinite grace.

The simplicity of this model is its charm, its only trimming being a garland of white gardenias.

Milady's frock is a typical garden-party style—sheer eyeleted batiste with narrow velvet ribbon in valencia blue tied about the waist.

Comes from the atelier of Patou the charming bridesmaid costume shown to the right. The dress is of pale blue taffeta with puff sleeve and quaint gathered skirt. The wide-brimmed leghorn has a sash of wide blue satin ribbon encircling its crown with a soft bow at the back.

A stunning exponent of the popular "flop hat" is shown in the circle. Black-eyed susans adorn this beguiling creation, which is a loosely-woven coarse black-and-yellow novelty straw. A row of the same flowers edge the neckline of the frock, which is made of summery yellow chiffon, now so popular.
