HATS FOR ROBBED HAIR,

Hat crowns are generally teo wide, j at- the best of times. AVith the bobbed | haired girl the difficulty is to mako | bats fit at all. Hatpins me not for ! her. so a liint on how to make hut j crowns fit w ill not be amiss. If felt or velour be the hat in ques- ] j tion. the plan is to fold the brim over j at the liack until the exact lit- is j j attained, and then to pin ibe fold in ; la-ace. Next vim a line of chs-Ik along , i I

the fold and up the crown as far as fbo hat requires to bo taken in. AYhen this lias been done, out- carefully with scissors along the chalk line, ami bring the two raw edges together. Those should be sown with a line sdlk thread in preference, to ouo of cotton or substitute, as the stitching will then ho almost invisible. Lastly, put a new ribbon round the crown, tie a ‘■mart, flat bow, and sow the bow up down—not across--lho back, thus allowing the ends to hide i.be seam v.heie ihe bat has been cut away.
