The Halley Comet Hat Is Here.
Transcription:
The forerunner of the famous sky visitor, Halley's comet, which has been traveling through space for, lo, these many centuries, has arrived this spring in the guise of a stunning hat. This comet hat is the chicest[?] turban shape you ever did see, and the illustration gives only a faint idea of its real beauty. The hat is of dark blue straw trimmed with velvet a shade lighter. The comet effect is carried out with the cabuchon of velvet on which is mounted a silver star. A feathered algret of mingled tones of gray and blue symbolizes the tail of the astronomical phenomenon.
