DRAPERIES FOR WORN HATS

Georgette Crepe, Net, Chiffon and Other Materials Aid Women In Making Transformations.

Never was It so easy for the ordinary woman not gifted with very much millinery skill to freshen up a hat that Is beginning to show wear as at the present moment, says a fashion writer In New York Herald. This new fashion of draping hats with georgette crepe, net, Ichiffon, etc., makes It possible for even a* woman rather lacking in skill to achieve good results in adjusting a trimming that will completely refurbish a hat that has served for part of the summer. Georgette crepe draped

around the crown and over the top will j be'all that is necessary very often, ori a more picturesque hat may have net ruche placed directly on the brim> and encircling the crown. A small toque shape may be very! easily covered entirely with some one! of these diaphanous materials, which j can be held In close to the crown with? a wreath of tiny flowers or a band of! ribbon. Again a straight organdie rib-; bon or one of georgette or net may bej draped around the crown and made in, a bow at the side. The plaited nets, georgettes and organdie ruchings are also useful for covering hat brims that are soiled or! shabby. The plaiting may stand up around the crown and lie flat on thebrim. The adjustment of these trimmings takes very little time and will, often solve the problem of making one’s summer millinery hold out until! one really wants a fall hat
