cause their faces are broad their hats
must lie ditto: that the hats must
t.T5er upward and outward from the
head in order 70 make the face look
small BY comparison: hat Of this
sort always adds to the age, and
when strings are attached the aged
appearance Of the wearcr Is again
increased.
A woman with a broad face should
wear Il bonnet that sets on the top Of
her head-not resting on her ears
and brought in a curve back from
the forehead. The hat should be mar
row and project over the forehead,
and not be too long at the back. 4

adds to the length Of the Eead-and
the hat perched on the top Of the
knot at the crown Of her head. With
this shaped hat narrow strings OF rib
bon velvet should be attached at the
back, both together, not at the sides

Dark red adds a color ID the face,

cream or blue should be worn or pink

the most trying colors to a Woman's
face; it must be Of a shade to form a
harmony instead Of a combination
with the complexion-otherwise the
effect is lost. For blond types moth
ing is prettier than the pale sea
green or blue tints Of velvet ribbon;
aud the little band about the throat
lends a soft appearance to the flesh
that IS becoming to every one.
Strings that hide the pretty part Of
a woman's side head, where her hair
grows in pretty curves back from the
ears, are not an Improvement. But
the strings that add dash Of color
to the toilet fall lightly over the hair
and are brought loosely about the
throat are effective, pretty, DO not
add to the age and always make
woman seem wen dressed. Bonnet
strings are exceedingly ladylike, and
their refining tendency to ones ap
pearance is equaled by no other por

Small hats that are rolled back
from the face and have bow set un-

The tops Of these hats are trimmed
with a single pOmDon and a knot of
ribbon. Strings similar to those be
fore described are attached to the
