A 1898 Ladies' Home Journal article, the second millinery lesson by Zaida Ben-Yusuf, on making a hat from straw braid. It explains sewing braid in rounds from the brim inward to the crown, fitting and darning in the cross-wire supports, and mounting feathers on wire stems. Four finished hats are described with their materials (violet taffeta, toque with tulle and net, a feathered hat, a yellow straw hat with roses), and the article is illustrated with photographs and three wire-frame diagrams.
