Description
Six color head and shoulder portraits of women numbered 1 through 6 are arranged in three vertical columns to display spring hats. Women number 1, upper left, shows a rose pink hat covered with a multitude of bows and ruching. The model wears a gray dress or jacket with white lace applique on the collar over a high collared rose pink blouse with a fluffy dark rose jabot. Below her, woman number 2 wears a pink printed dress with sheer fluffy pale blue bow at the neck. Her hat is a flat brimmed pale blue hat, trimmed with ruched blue ribbon, and sprays of pink flowers. In the next column at the center top is model number 3. She wears a straw hat decorated with light green ruching on the crown and dark green velvet bows or poufs at the side and back. She wears a dress patterned with a small pink floral print on white, with a rose pink collar bordered with rows of braid, with a fluffy white lace bow at the front. Below her woman number 4 wears a flat brimmed pink straw turned up at the back with a pink bow. Around the crown is a wreath of pink roses and green leaves. At the top of the third column, woman 5 wears a larger straw hat, black with two blue rows at the edge of the brim, and a blue feather plume. She wears a pink printed dress with a black velvet collar, and a pale blue fluffy jabot at the neck. Below her, woman 6 on the bottom right wears a tan dress or jacket with a dark brown collar trimmer with white lace applique, over a pale yellow high necked blouse with a jabot to match. Her hat is gray, covered with ruching under the brim, and is trimmed with calla lilies and yellow bows.
