Catherine Talbot notes summer millinery trends featuring all white snow white hats, net halos, and butterfly headpieces.

A practical guide on maintaining white shoes and hosiery for a pristine summer look. It covers cleaning steps for canvas and leather shoes, avoiding water on certain materials, drying in shade, and careful handling to prevent yellowing. It also advises using lukewarm water and white soap, blueing hosiery briefly, and always pairing stockings by make to keep wearable pairs.
