Not illustrated. 1847 edition. Excerpt: ... Dress Hats are frequently made on Paris foundation net. The rule for making and covering the fronts of bonnet-shapes in general, will here apply in each detail, --although the form of the crown, as well as the covering, will require some further explanation.
