DISTINCTION FOR MILADY

HATS TO SUIT YOUR SUMMER SET

Hair styles of the moment are prodigious in more ways than one. There are many to choose from, and all make a great show of high piled curls or waves, pompadours, and swirls. THE POMPADOUR. Each style finds its happy complement in a certain style of hat. The

pompadour, for instance, finds its per-fecti-counter-balance ,-in a posy> crown; one that is so diminutive it seems to be all flowers and no hat. This amazingly becoming little confection goes well back on the head with the magnificent sweep of the pompadour rising sheer from the brow. The mode
