Milady's Bonnet

the Oreok cap hap made its appearance in Knjrland. It is unembroidered and tassellcd and sits on the back of the head like the round lid of a box. With hair curved all around it, it is newer and more attractive than a swathed scarf which, though still popular, palls a little by too much repetition. The Quaker bonnet has also come into the news. It is usually made of folt, with a turned-back brim of fur and fits well into the nape of the neck. Hartnell's newest version of the snood ie a pipsy 'kerchief worn capwise on the head, made in felt or fabric. It is surmounted by a jaunty little pork pie. pill box, or what you will, worn well over the forehead. Stitched hats to match are beinp worn with plaid and check suits. They are variations of the forajrc cap or round cap with a postman's peak, and both are becoming and youthful styles. ( ossack -jodels and berets are also popular. A contrast to the halo on the back of the head is the beret that perches ripht forward, sometimes with a padded or stiffened ring around the front portion. The Ta.m-o'-Shantcr vosrues tilt any extravagant way and many are finished with a very tall plume, or some other dashinj* and conspicuous note in the way of ornament or flower. 4-
