And now It's
the "peg-top hat.'
The style, di
rect from Paris,
of course, has Just
struck Afucrlca
Fashion experts
admit that the hat
will attract atten
tlon.
It can not fail
to do that, they
said, because the
hat has a real
"punch." It la not
fluffy, like the cre
ations with ai
grettes! and such
things on ’em
The make-up of It
is more like that
of, a prizefighter’s
fist.
The "peg top”
has an outward
coating of velvet.
Its Interior com
position is of good
steel wire, guar
anteed not to
break or bend
when it comes in
contact with a
human face.
There Is a dis
tinct. list to star
board In the new
style. The “list”
Is what makes the
hat catchy and
’’fetching.’’
It gives the gen
eral design a rak
ish appearance,
like that of a
boat which has
jus); struck a coral
reef during a
heavy storm and
doesn’t know
where It Is going
thereafter.
Persons inter
ested In styles
said to-day that
the new headwear
for women really
is an off-shoot of
the Tam o’ Shan-

From the Tam

with many pretty details. A large
plateau of maidenhair ferns, bordered
with little Dresden urns, filled with
pink and lavender sweetpeas and blue
forget-me-nots, formed the center
piece. A larger Dresden urn filled
with these flowers arose from the
plateau and at each plate was a little
Dresden figure, in whose voluminous-
skirts was concealed a tiny pin cush
ion. These figures were dressed in
Dresden colors with the name of the
guests on white satin ribbons.
