LIFE'S COVER: With Monet's gay painting Water-Lilies as a backdrop, Model Madelon Mason, the girl on LIFE'S cover, looks just the way most women would like to look in a new $60 spring hat. Her hat, by Millinery Designer Irene, is made of straw decorated with lace and a cluster of big pink peonies, and indicates a strong trend in millinery. Breaking away from the flowerpot and skyscraper constructions of other springs, designers are trying hard to make hats which become the wearer (pp. 83 -- 86). But they still give their creations silly names like "I'm in the Mood for Love" and "Best Foot Forward."
