PUT ONE AROUND YOUR HAT

r.ninrful Hatband Has Power to ReJuvenate Old Headflear Into Unbelievable Newness. There is a perfect magic to the colorful hatbiand. It has power to make a stupid hat positively dashing. It can -rejuvenate an old hat into unbelievable newness. Just about this time the sport hat that has been on the go since* early spring, begins to show it. Try a bright bit of banding on the weary headpiece and see if it doesn't take a new interest in life. - Nor need the band Be an elaboate thing or difficult to make. It might go like this: Two-inch unflgured ribbon of taffeta or satin, grosgrain or velvet, with two rows of stitched squares arranged alternately, checkerboard effect, and worked up with silk or cotton or wool, whichever contrasts most effectively with your ribbon. Divide the ribbon band in half on the length with a faint penciling. Then mark it off with two-inch spaces. Now “fill” alternate spaces with over-and-over stitching. If you haven’t any particular color scheme in mind, what do you think about this ultramodlsh one: Tea rose or jade? Or you knight like to keep to the checkerboard suggestion aSd try black on red squares. It would be ever so fetching on a black hat.
