An easy favourite is the black tricorne. It suits practically every- une. But be careful to place it on your head according to the shape of your face.

No extreme angle if your forehead is inclined to width; with small piquant features perch it well for- ward; the oval-shaped-face needs to ket the full benefit of the width.

The woman with tiny hand has been really looked after this year. The trimming of clipped velvet s almost of doll-like proportions. It is so easy if you have a small face to be completely overwhelmed by a hat, especially if it is of felt.

Capricious is the only word for these little hats, and you can afford to trim up your millinery with pretty little imitation ostrich feathers which | are in the shops just now in great variety, priced at a shilling or 30.

For the girl who wants a hat lo wear day in, day out, my advice is -turn your inck on such frivolitics as veils and feathers; they need constant care and attention, and a shower of rain will ruin them in a minute.

For Your Dressing Table

If such a stool is not to be found in your attic, one can be bought quite cheaply, and it is really a good investment.
