Garden Club Hat Review Draws 200 It has been several years since Sparta Garden Club has undertaken a flower show or benefit project of any type However. Monday afternoon at the lovely country home of the Waiter Ebers. a hat show was staged under the auspices of t h e club by Leocadia Jones of Grand Rapids. About 200 women from Grand Rap- Ids. Sparta, Casnovia and Kent City enjoyed the program which was staged on the spacious lawn arran«r«d with colorful umbrellas, tables and chairs. Mrs. Walter Bloomer welcomed the guests and presented Mrs. Mark Her- sey. who sang several numbers ac- companied by Judy Norris. Both are from Caenovla. Mrs. Jones was then introduced by the president and explained that in reality this was not a fashion show, but an effort to make a comparison between right and wrong in hat styles. She explained that a woman's hat Is really the index to her personality and your hat is the keynote of your costume. She showed cloches, bonnets, sailors, large and small hat*, some of real ny- lon. horsehair, velvet, with flowers, j featiiers and veils, many for summer and some for fall.
