QUAINT MILITARY BONNET

This smart bonnet just strikes the right note In the season's styles. The touch of the military is seen In everything wearable, but nothing can equal the distinct martial air that surrounds this straw “helmet.'’ A broad peak shields Miladi from the burning sun. The red star embroidered on the white straw commands attention and declares one a loyal patriot. The crown Is raised high in front suggesting the officer. The Idea is further carried out by the chin strap which secures the bonnet and keeps it at Just the right angle.
