THE GIRL WITH THE SMILE.
SOME FUR TRIMMED COATS FROM FELIX,
Everyone likes the girl who faces the world with a smile. She seems to radiate happiness as she passes down the street or across a room, and even strangers feel better and more courageous for her passing. Hers is a gift well worth possessing better than wealth or brains; it is beauty, because a happy face is always good to look at.
The girl with a smile is healthy because it is healthy to be happy. and because she takes care to be so, by eating and dressing susibly. No lovely clothes can make their wearer look either happy or lovely if she is iniserably cold, and you will find that your smiling friend is wearing a coat on these cold days probably with pretty fur collar and cuffs. Possibly she has bought the coat this week from the Felix Hat Shop for I saw some de lightful once on show there a day. or so ago.
The choice of a hat is always, a master of much importance to the well dressed woman, for it is the clou of her ensemble on which its success depends. She chooses it in the first instance in the millioner's shop with the greatest care, trying on dozens and examining them from every angle, and when it comes to a question of dressing for any occasion, however, unimportant, she maxes & careful choice of the hats in her cupboard to decide not only which one looks best with, the parti- cular dress or coat she proposes to wear, but which suits Eer mood of the moment.

The little sports model which looked so jaunty on Monday when you "felt full of vigour seems to make you look tired and washed out on Thursday when you feel just below par, whereas the smarter hat that seem inappro- priate with your sports suit at the beginning of the week now gives it just that touch of chic which was
