Howell of North Hollywood with an award from the Millinery Institute of America naming her one of the 'Best Hatted Women of the Year' in a nationwide contest. In recognition of her award, Joseph Rumelt, Millinery Manager-Buyer for May Co. Valley, gives Mrs. Howell her choice of a new spring chapeau. How could a woman be faced with a more difficult decision than to pick one hat from so many tempting creations? After much deliberation, Mrs. Howell chose a lovely summer straw."
