Glorifying the popular \"half-hat\" she invented, Lilly Daché entwines a wide mesh band with spring flowers, fastens it like a coif at the nape of the neck.
Reviving the head-hugging cloche of the twenties, John-Frederics goes gala with a bouquet of yarn and sequin flowers. It\'s a hat to rally milady\'s morale.
Easter Hats

It is no millinery secret that the new hats-modeled here by Hollywood starlet Louise Currie are all small, pretty and hug the head. From the sauciest sailor (upper left) to the revival of the cloche (lower right) they are devised to accommodate the smooth-on-top hair-do of today. And, with hat sales hitting a new high due to dress restrictions, top designers have bowed to mass manufacture. The average woman will invest heavily in headgear this spring.
