PRE-VIEW

AUTUMN HATS ARE KIND TO THE FACE

So Far as it is possible to see at the moment there are two distinct and opposite trends for early autumn hats.

One consits of a definite forward tilt, usually over the right eye. The other is right back off the face and when it is a case of a turban or bonnet shape, a little of the hair line is also shown in the centre front.

Both lines are kind, and both are interesting. Of the two, the first is more frequently represent- ed, as you will gather from those on display at the shops

There are turbans in quantity. a few draped, but not the ma- jority. Berats are of several kinds, but mostly full, like a mediaeval cap, and in lustrous fabrics like face cloth, velvet. and fur felt. Halo hats, usually in velvet, are in black or very sombre" colours.

Then there are very neat and rather hard brimless caps: not too easy to wear, but curiously right for many modern probles... and quantities of felts; some quite mad, but others as sane, as com fortable, and as easy to wear as anything we have put on our heads for some considerable time

The turbans are not so often draped as the berets. They are usually very clean in line, and du -extraordinarily nice things for the

fece.

The latest ones which really looks like two of the smali brimless caps put together. The Join is over the middle of the head, and the result is a delightful outine to the face, narrow at the sides and curving up to a point in the cen- tre front which shows a fragment of sleekly parted hair or á fen- thiry curi.

Deep, warm colours and deep, sombre 'colours may be alone r relieved with a delicate pastel or a slash of vivid red, orange or gold. These and the rich lustrous materials already mentioned are the stuffs from which our autumn hattings will be made...

Fur felt is likely to be popular for other things, too. It is parti cularly becoming, and looks most- effective for collars. Antelope is another felt with a smooth sur- face, and there is a very abaggy new one which looks very warm, and therefore most appropriate to the colder months of the year.

"We should not ordinarily con- sider un application from a busi. · ness woman, he said, as we are anxious for all our children to have home life. Generally, a woman who is out for most of the day could not give sufficient time to a child.

One of the our babies last year went to a husband and wife who were both doctors."

Many of the people who adopt children have modest incomes, railwaymen. Among them are omnibus "drivers' and conductors.

And the society counsel each new "parent" "Always tell the child it is adopted."
