Eyes that love you, arms that hold.
And for your spirit's still del!git,

After ail, what is more practical
than an all round, round crowned,
rpund brimmed straw hat for spring
. days and spring sports ? Every
qualification is answered for by this
sulphur colored hat of conservative
mien. . Novelty chip straw is the
foundation, and two-toned double
faced ribbon is the trimming. The
wide brim rolls up so that it loses
much of its wide effect and gives
an air of informality suitable to a
sport or walking hat. 1 "
