Scope and content
Sixteen month old Richard Allyn Miles wears his hat tilted at a jaunty angle in this May 1937 photograph. Dressed only in diapers and a man's skimmer, he is ready to celebrate that annual rite of spring "Straw Hat Day." That is the day when gentlemen put away their heavy winter hats and don the straws for summer. In 1937, fashion forecasters picked May 27th as that special day. (T. Times 5/26/1937, pg. 1) TPL-549
