-———<uoa>-_-_ ON THE CHOICE OF A HAT.

It cannot be denied that a wo- man's hat will make or mar hor appearance. A tall, full-faced wo- man almost itivariabiy finds. that a hat wit.h a broad brim or one which ls wide at the sides will add to the charm of her face and give propor- tion to her ifiizure. li‘ sho-sltnnld decide on n. small lint sltc should select one which is iirtu and definite in shape and, if possible, having deflnito contour of imgios. Women who are disposed to be both short. and stout should adopt a small, rather severe type oi’ hat. tl~‘o'r the thin face a soft round hat with a small murletl-up brim made of flexible material such as velour or ribbon will prove becom- ing and effective. The hat should not be too hit: or drawn down on the hen-d, as this gives a flattened- dnwn and dwarfed effect to the whole figure.

Illat-k anti white millincry suits women who have good complexions.
