The Picture Hat

r I 'he picture hat made its reappearance this summer in England. and the fashion journals tell us it is rapidly coming back to favour for ordinary wear. Black crinoline seemed to be the prevailing mode, but white is popular with the “younger set.” A particularly fascinating toilette illustrated was that of a girl in a white frock with a large shady hat tilted on one side in popular Spanish fashion, with a large red rose on the underneath side of the brim. “They are, of course, much favoured by women on sunny days," says a London correspondent. “This year the big hat is not so large as before, but it is worn in all colours. Women have always shown a leaning towards them during the summer months,” she said. “Shingled heads, however, are stumbling blocks, for although big hats are made to fit the head closely many women are nervous of the experiment. “Women arc realising that shady hats act as efficient sunshades and protect the complexion.”
