THE BIGGEST HAT IN TOWN.—This picture hat, measuring 34 inches across the brim, is probably the biggest seen in Christchurch since Edwardian days. It was made from layers of nylon French tulle in sunset pink and trimmed with a trail of cameo pink roses. Shown in a millinery boutique yesterday for the first time, it made shoppers stare in amazement and admiration. It was made in Auckland and copied from an Ascot model, the forerunner of a style expected to be popular for formal occasions this summer.
