There is no doubt that a hat brim low over the eyes gives them features expression and sins, but it does no at the expense of the face in general. Nothing is less becoming than a hard line of straw soross the forehead, hiding the Even where this is not absolutely an impression of Eardness which for women disfiguring, which is often the base, it gives would care about. The softest face looks less soft under such an arrangement, The Bams affect can very often be had simply by putting the hat on to a bandeau. This raises I while keeping the drooping outline in which very often lies this smartness of the hat. But even then the hair should be dressed very lugh sud, very softly.
