Beretta Is In Vogue
The beret or heretta is a shape
that is always liked by French
womenmpOssibly because they find
it so becoming. Molyneux has had
much to do with this shape for
autumn and now they are talking
of beretta crowns placed on
cloches and heretta crowns on
turbans. It is the soft tam
o'shanter crown that makes such
strong appeal.

Metallic leather ornaments of all

One of the French milllners even

One French hat is made of Shan-

from a heavy sort of chlnta. The

THE WAY WITH W
It really wouldn't be such an iso-
