Matron Can Wear Chic

Hats

THREE is a young hat designer

in New York named Eve Tar- tar who is convinced that matrons

of middle-age or more can wear the same hats that very young matrons can wear. "If a woman keeps her face youthful, and dresses her hair simply but smart- ly, she can wear any hat 1 design with the exception of the frivoli- ties which debs clamour for. don't care if her measurements havo increased as years passed--- a woman can still look most at- tractive in even an extreme hat, if she has an alert, well-cared for face beneath it!"

And just to prove her point, Miss Tartar photographed for me a young woman in her twenties, and an older woman in her fifties wearing the identical hat! It was a velvet pillbox in a rich red with a stiffened, stream-lined velvet bow shooting diagonally and rak- ishly in the air. The younger woman had her hair dressed in the popular pompadour fashion with back hair hanging low. The older woman had her hair dressed high and simply. Both looked stunning in the hat and one would not class it as a "matron's hat" at all. It was simply a stunning hat with a fashionable air all its

Own.

Your hair may be gray, graying or white, but that 18 11 excuse for feeling you are an old woman! Your skin can be beautiful, if you care for it, and your eyes and colouring can take on new glam- our by carefully selecting beauti- ful colour shades which flatter you a great deal. There is no sin in looking as beautiful as you can- in fact it is every woman's social duty to look beautiful.
