HATS FOR BOBBED HAIR
Hat crowns are generally too wide at the beet of times writer in the Melbourne ‘Ago’)- With the bobbedhaired girl the difficulty is to make hats lit at all. Hatpins are nob lor her; ®o a hint on how to make hat crowns tit will not, be amiss. If felt or velour be the hat in question, the plan is to fold the brim over at iho back until ihe exact fit is attained, and then to pin tins told in place. Next run a line of chalk along the fold and up the crown as far as tho hat requires to be taken in. When this has been done cut carefully with scissors along tho chalk line and bring the two raw edges together. These should be sewn with a fim bilk thread in preference to one of cotton or substitute, as tho stitching will then be almost invisible. Lastly, put a new ribbon round Ihe crown, tie a smart flat how, and sew the bow up and down —not a-crosis—the back, thus allowing the ends to hide the sesju where the hat has been cut away.
