Something About
the New Paris Hats
LADY DUFF-CORDON, the famous "Lu
etic" of London, and foremost creator of
fashions in the world, writes each week the
fashion article for this newspaper, presenting all
that is newest and best in styles for well-dressed
women.

A companion novelty of rather more severely simple
style but equally smart effect la a hat of white kid.
Its brim the merest apology for the genuine article that
ever gave a hat the right to this particular title. It Is
banded about the crown with . a wide blue ribbon,
against which a square- ahaped buckle of the white kid

One of these hats la in tan suede and in a small sailor
