Rub the stain with a cloth moistn- ed with vinegar and water to remove any stickiness. Dry thoroughly. Using very fine sund paper and rotary movement gently rub the mark all round in order to make the surface absolutely smooth.

TALL HATS

ROWNS are up in the world again, but in no ordinary fashion. They are tucked, shaped and graded in a most amazing manner and, what is more important, they are going to suit the average wonian.

Treated in this way, they have a much softer look, which makes the styles onally adaptable to different types of faces.

High hats last winter almply had the ollect of making many of us look top- heavy, so I made it my business while at the shows to see what Paris though! of the new tall hat idea.

Added Height

Feathers fy high, as you can see in the sketch, and give added height and distinction to one's hat. Maybe it'a a pair of quiils, or perhaps an ostrich plume, but you'll be in the news if your hat is trimmed with a feather.

Black quills give an illusion of height to the wide-brimmed hat by Suzy with its narrow, flower pot crown The smurt velvet loque. by the same designer, is edged with a broad band ci skunk, a fashionable trimming which makes a becoming frame lor the lace.

Styles are not all for the very young. The he upward sweep of the hair leaves curls in view and enables hats to be worn forward and angled at a amart tit. In fact, I have seen more millinery suitable for matrons this conson than for many a year.

Velvet Toques

There is a determined effort to bring back the toque and, while some are awathed affairs, others are of velvet arranged in soft folds, but all have an Edwardian look about them.

Let the girls have their turn frst. Ilustrated is one of the new sports hats from Erik. These are very dázli- ing and have a distinctly swashbuck

ling air with their turned up brims and important crowns.

There's a tendency, too, to combine two colours, so choose your bat to match your suit or cost and have the trimming in a contrasting hue.

Some of his newest combinations are blotting paper grey with maroon or Kingfisher blue, moss green with red and canary yellow, navy and wine, stone blue and brick, carrot and fog blue.

The model ilustrated is in red brown felt trimmed with a black ribbon and a towering black feather,

There are also small hists which are not really small, a cuff-like point on elther side giving sumclent width to make them becoming to the majority of faces, especially where foreheads are broad and thins too rounded,
