demure chin bows and gay flower pozles. But oh s0 easy to wear. For years I haven't seen such a collection of pretty and varied styles. It's difficult to settle which!

They have got real person- ality, as the Americans say, 50 let's pretend we are sitting in front of a large mirror and we'll try them until we find the hut which la really us.

The particular style of hair- dressing favoured may have some influence in your doing so. When it comes to seleeling # hat. bear this in mind-the smart models fenturing sideway brims that sheer off at an angle will suit you only if you have a good proille.

This style has many good qual- fles. It has the effect of partly concealing a forchead that is not only wide but deep. If your face is broad it just gives the lengthening lue you require. The Joy of a hat of this type is that you can pull it

Now some advice to the round- faced, blue-eyed blonde with the tip-tilted nose. Wear styles with school-girl note. A wide-brimmed turn-up sailor shape with a flattish crown, and a jaunty bow tied under the chin, or a tilted saucer beret.

Among other suitable designs are the new halo hats that are wide at the sides and dented in at the centre; these, too, have narrow chin straps.

For the youthful brunette with small regular features and straight nose, I have selected the fine black straw hat with attrac- tive wing pieces at the back through which are threaded black velvet ribbon.

It will give you the right effect if your headgear is in relation to your suit or dress, and you will be able to see that the hat 1s in cor- rect proportion to the rest of your outfit.
