Hats Committed to Sports Wear

Someone who knows says that the restless American never stays in one spot longer than two hours. Now how is the lady who is liable to be snatched away at any moment, in one direction or another, going to provide herself with hats suited to all climes? Day after tomorrow she may find herself in the lisle of Pines, or. possibly she may be watching winter sports in Canada. Those clever milliners whd ! do so much thinking for Hie lady of fashion have seized upon the sports bat to help solye the problem. Three superb answers to the question of wherewithal shall we elOthe our heads are shown in the picture above. They are made of materials that are woru every? where and are therefore noncommittal as to climate, but they leave no room for doubt as to their indorsement of Sports. They were made with an eye to the southward, but you may go where you will in any of them. There is a hat of black patent leather (or something that looks like it) in a narrow-brimmed sailor shape, with; A soft top crojra. It has a'band of black and white checked silk about the side crown and a vivid red rose at the front This rose cau defy the frost, for it* petals are protected with transparent celluloid. . A white satin hat avows its devotion to the bpsiness of being amused, for it

forms a background for two c»rds done* in silk embroidery on the side crown. The third hat Is covered with Tokyo crepe and a band of uncut velvet stops before it reaches qbite around the crown to make way for little straw buttons which hint of spring.
