Londen Sends New Country
and Outing Hats
A very definite item in the mil
linery outfit of the well-dressed
woman is the hat or hats
especially designed for country
and outing wear.
They are soft and easy wear
ing. In their general contour
and simplicity they are part and
parcel of that whole realm of
informal apparel known as
"speits" attire.
Monday we present a unique,
collection of such hats, designed
by Londen milliners and by our
own, for town and country in
formal wear. Many of them uvc
especially intended te accompany
the cape suit or knockabout suit
of tweed and homespun. Others
are meant for the links. Still
ethers arc as pretty skating hata
and cap3 as could be found.
Many novel hat and scarf sets
of English checked wool and ethor
materials are among them and
many surprisingly pretty inno
vations in exclusive Rcdleaf mil
linery from Londen.
Prices begin at $18.
