NEW hat to a woman—a cynie once enid-is the birth certificato she would like to show the world—one that takes ton years off her agel And that accounts for the present crisis in the hát world,
Last month, while most of the world wore holidaymaking, the milliners were busy designing They went and making our now autumn hats,

With this in mind. I invited Ilse Belding the
Queen of Millinery, who
appear at Woman's Fair, Olympia, In Novem- ber, to make a tour of London's hat showrooms. Not only is she n very handsome girl, with almost classic features, but a natural blonde. Any hat should look at its best framing that aura of pale gold hair.
From Hat Town
Besides, she could look at a hat with a professional cyc, for ahe halls from Luton, England's own hat town, where 1,200 people are dependent upon the bat industry. Let's see what Isle chooses. She has views of her
own.
"The Brst thing I consider is shape," she said, "The softer types suit my face best, They must really fit my head, and then form a background for my face. No hard brlina or top-of-the-head styles for me, unless they are furry or velvet. Wide-brimmed hats with cowboy crowns were tried and relinquished with a sigh.
Narrow-brimmed toppers were passed by as too hard and severe.
"I don't want to look like a hearty hunting woman. Girla "have to-day," remarked Ilse. sense enough to know that looking feminine in their strongest suit. That's why I'm all for bonnata like they had in Grandmamma's day." Fur Bonnet
The new bonnets are perfect for blondes, she decided, and with a cry of delight she swooped down on one in black felt, outlined with silver fox fur that framed her face.
A few deft touches to her hair, and a couple of baby curls peeped out at the sides. They called it a bonnet, but it looked to me mor

"Hairdressing must be adapted
to suit your hat this season," said Ilse. She swept back her hair from her face, and up over her head at the back, and, with a few twists, had a couple of curls on the top of her head, ready for the wine felt hat with kingfisher blue Icathers soaring upwards, that she' had had her eye on since entering the shop.
Worn right on the back of the head, you can see the curls peeping out, while the blue spotted vell to match reached practically to the
shoulders. For every day, or with
