Hats for summer come in so many

Julia

pleasing styles that every girl must use her head to select the models that best suit her type

IN

N the first place, new

hats are so ravishing · that the only way to get them out of your head is to put them ont In the second place. you all know perfectly well that it is the hat that makes or breaks a costume.

Therefore, if you use your head in the right way, and that certainly means putting just the right hat on it, you will capitalize your charm.

Be adamant about not even considering one that doesn't definitely "do something for you. Be hard-hearted about it. The best-looking hat under the sun is just a total loss if it doesn't make your eyes look prettier, your face sweeter or more charming.

BY and large, a good rule for buying hals for

if

suits is this: If you're blessed with a fur, or you like fluffy necklines on your blouses and they look nice on you. get a smallish hat for suit wear. If your suit's neckline is soft but plain, and you wear your blouse's collar inside and you do not have a fur, get a hat that has a brim in the back and on the sides. Don't make the mis take of an all-around mushroom. They just aren't good this year.

For silk fracks or figured silk suits for daytime wear, look around for one of those little soft woven straw head-pieces that have a brim that can't make up its mind to go this way or that, but ends up by flaring back in the front and is differ- ent on both sides and still different again in the back.

When you are shopping for a hat for woolen sporls wear, remember the blessed beret. There

is nothing like it in all the chapeau realm. It can be made of the outfit's tweed or of its scarl's ma terial, of straw or woven worsted.

A little later, when you don silk suits for sports wear, you will find any number of medium brimmed hats of a dozen different straws in mul titudinous colors and shapes. The uneven brim is a safer bet because it flatters your face.

DON'T gel a perfectly plain straw. It's as hard

on you as mannishly tailored lines. There are ballibuntis, bakous, panamalacs, milans, linen. and other fabric hals that resort to inverted box pleats in the crown, facings for the brim, flaring pleats along one side of the brim or some cule little tucks that run hither and yon weaving a soft- effect of flowers or leaves.

In addition to the hats named, you all will need one of the new medium-brimmed picture hats for daytime wear with semi-formal frocks or suits. You should have one of these for the office, the store, the school or wherever you spend your days. I suggest one of the ripple brims, in medium size. They have a certain fluid look to them.

Last, and really very important, are the dress hats. Some are small shiny black straws. Others are the real picture hats, and I hope you plan on both. Transparent crins and other straws are fine for these, especially the lacy ones that will look so pretty when worn with your chiffon and figured prints and your organdie dresses.

I. FOR parties and general dress wear in lei- sure hours, go the whole way and get a pic: ture hat. They are so leisure-hour-looking, and goodness knows it won't hurt any of us to develop the feeling. Most of our lives are far too stren uous. It's a good idea to look as if work never came near us, once in a while.

Such a little inducer is a picture hat of beige lace straw that is worn slightly aslant the head, so sheer that it shows off your pretty hair, and poised so carefully that your hair shows at the sides, too. It has a lacy edge and bow across the back of the sheer straw that looks almost like chiffon or lace, and yet is so much stauncher.

II. NOW for a dress hat to wear to the mat

inee, to tea, to Junch with either a dress maker suit or a printed chiffon or crepe frock, Shiny straw is your choice, by all means, and pref crably black if your outfit allows. One of these is black panamalac, with a brim that turns well back from the forehead to show your hair, which is a new trick and a sweet one, and one that you should develop. A demure file bow of ribbon perches where the brim is shortest and the satin ribbon outlines the face, too.

III. FOR sports or morning wear. I suggest.

a knitted turban of brown, beige and ca pucine, worsted, with a draped back and shallow cut. It is excellent with a fine worsted or tweed suit or ensemble.

IV. FOR luncheon or for afternoon wear or if you feel like it. for all-day wear with a soft printed and plain chiffon outfit, try on some of the semi-picture hats.

Not too big a one, don't make that mistake.. For this kind of outfil doesn't ask the superlative in a dressy hot.

Remember this is a season when so many choices are left open to you that a little restraint is a big sign of good taste.

An excellent choice for a red and beige chiffon and printed silk outfit is a medium-sized picture hat of black baku, with the rippling brim I men- tioned and a smash bow of cherry velvet ribbon on one side of said brim..

V FOR a dressmaker suit or for warm-day wear with a little printed frock, you might well consider a little lighter-than-navy blue straw urban with a very feminine brim that drapes this way or that in subtle manner.

A FRENCHWOMAN once told me that "in

spite of ourselves, my dear, we are like our hats!" Doesn't that make you shudder when you remember some of the atrocities certain sales girls have sold you in the past? For I'm sure there's not one of us who does not have some hat ghosts to lay lowl

But there is no excuse in the world this year for wearing any but the most becoming headgear. There is plenty of choice.

You can find a hat for every hour of the day.. for every type of frock, suit, coat, dinner costume, and garden party dress.

It is all just a matter of using your head!
