This would be a wonderful reference for the
Mature Woman.
Every Matron who desires to have hats that are within the bonds of fashion
May do so with out emphasizing her age,
but at the same time she should not forego
That matronly dignity that is so essential to her charm.
The progress that has taken place in millinery fashions,as well as in other parts of woman’s dress is evidencedby the fact that at present the matron of 40 Yearsis regarded as still young and is offered on all sides modes that are smart, becoming, and appropriate.

This book gives material requirements and Complete step-by-step instructions for making all of the hats.
The Lesson States:“With the progress of time and the advancement of the true millinery art,matrons’ hats have not been neglected,
The rigid lines that formerly characterized them and that tend to emphasize and call attention to the fact that the wearer is no longer young are now eliminated,
and their general effect is modified by graceful curves and softness of coloring,with the result that they have become more individual and more considerate of her years.
In this Instruction Book, we have endeavored to bringto the attention of the matron not only the technique of constructing her hats, but also the essentials that should enter into the designing of them;
Namely, the selection of right lines, materials, and colors,in addition to the ways and means of adapting them to her build, height, features, and coloring,so that each Hat may be a harmonious finishing touch to each costume.”
