HAT fun the new hats are? Just a teeny bit flirtatious with their
demure chin bows and gay flower ponies. But ohi so casy 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, so let's pretend we are sitting in front of a large mirror and we'll try them until we And the hat which is really us.
First, there is the fat peter- ham beret fashioned like a clover leaf. It dips down over the right eye and the shapliy at the back gives just that right width that is necessary to an
oval or over-long face.

The particular style of hair- dressing favoured may have some influence in your doing so. When it comes to selecting a hat, bear this in mind-the snart models featuring sideway brims that sheer off at an angle will sult you only if you have a good profile.
This style has many good quali tes. It has the effect of partly concealing a forehead that is not only wide but deep. If your face is broad it just gives the lengthening line 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 a school-girl note. A wide-brimmed tumn-up sailor shape with a flattish crown, and a jaunty bow tied under the chin, or a tilted saucer berct.
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 regular features and 1 small straight nost, I have selected the fine black straw hat with attrac- tive wing pieces at the back through which are threaded black velvet ribbon.
Rather like a sandwich, don't you think, as the clover flowers are placed round the edge, as if between the top and lower layer.

For the older woman, I recom- mend a brimmed model. A sweep of brim gives dignity and charac- ter to your outfit, and it is be- coming to those with long faces as it gives width.
Pointed Crowns
The new crowns that shape up- wards almost to a point are help- ful, and if your face is broad you will find that this width of brim that is wide at the sides and narrow at front and back gives a decidedly alimmer look to your contours.
But whatever you do when you are buying a hat do look at your self full length in a mirror, not merely head and shoulders.
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 is in cor- rect proportion to the rest of your outfit.
