Susan Gay chooses a
Spring Coat
and Hat
for
your daughter
AMONG the hundreds of models shown at the
Paris displays, I don't suppose there was one design for small daughters aged seven and under. But the lines of grown-ups' clothes in- fluence children's clothes these days-and, any- way, young Joan is as thrilled by a new spring outfit as her mamma is.
So this week. I've chosen a lovely coat and hat set, which you see illustrated above.
The skirt of the coat swings out in a gentle flare from the neat tailored bodice. The collar and cuffs are finished with a few rows of machine stitching.
The hat, which should be made in the same material as the coat, is the semi-bonnet shape that looks so charming on young faces.
YOU POISE?
HAVE YOU
"My dear, I could have kicked myself. I don't know what
made me do such a thing."
Well, It's your job to know what made you do this or say that, and it's no good being furious with yourself without knowing what motives actuated you and to be prepared against, them for the future. And no woman can have Poise unless she knows herself "inside out."
Now why did you flounce out of the room like a peeved schoolgirl when Bill made a tactless joke? Afterwards you wished you had changed the subject with a debonair grace that would have quelled Bill forever and roused the envy ond admiration of all present. But you just flounced out of the room like a peeved schoolgirl..

And why should you fear criticism?
Because
Because it hurts your pride. Because you remember Mr. Dougias, at Bournemouth said you were not an attractive type. Because Bill's cousin said none of the family could imagine whot Bill saw in you. the girls at school said you weren't the type to appeal to grown-up men. You remember all this but you forget that hundreds of others had found you sweet and charming and that you have hud hundreds of suc- cesses against every zmáli failure.
