An excerpt:

''For certain occasions, special types of millinery and accessories are required, such as the veil for weddings and confirmation, the scarf for sports and other wear, the correct purse for the costume, and so on. In fact, the horizon of the present-day milliner is much enlarged and she must now be versed in all those articles known as milliner-made accessories.

This Book comes to you replete with information on millinery for these special purposes. Valuable for both the professional milliner and the woman who is interested in merely her own hats and accessories, it forms an important part of a complete discussion of millinery .''
