Ladies' Hat Styles for June 1914
Close-fitting togue hats continue popular in spite of the advanced season, and the beret de police is a novelty which has won many admirers, chiefly among the younger element. This is a sort of bicorne, is adjusted slantwise across the forehead and imitates the cap worn by French cavalry when on duty in the barracks. "Flames" of paradise aigrettes in black or natural tone are the preferred garniture for this quaint new style.
Large, slender wings are still in great demand, and have recently been featured in connection with clusters of small flowers. An ultra-chic Leontine model which created a sensation at a recent racing event in Paris had its entire crown covered with a mass of white cornflowers, a long white wing shooting from the centre top introducing a delightfully chic finishing touch.
A similarly shaped model made of a mass of lilies of the valley had no other trimming than a colonel aigrette of white Crosse, posed diagonally across the receding left side of the tall crown.
