Her needs are of such importance that many keen minds devote their energies to the production of hats just for girls —little and big. They welcome her with pretty things w’hen she slips out of babyhood and bonnets into little girl* hood and hats. And they care for her needs until she emerges from school and leaves the limitations of young girlhood in matter of dress, behind her. These designers have foynd in the woolly, furry and fuzzy materials of the present seasob, mediums that make fascinating millinery for children.
