RULES FOR HATS.

The woman who will not study her face
III the selection Of hat makes a great
mistake. An artist who makes a special
" OF woman and her hats lays down a
lew general rules for the buying Of a
hat says the Boston Journal.
but not wide
short woman cannot wear Gains
borough or any hat that is large in the
brim.
A short woman should not wear Z
round hat, for it gives her squatty look,
nor should she wear a turban, for ii is
not sufficiently imposing
The woman with sharp features should
wear her hat over her face. for as the
brlm comes forward, the features recede.
The woman who has a rather fiat face
and a nose that is not large enough
should wear a hat a little off her face
for, otherwise, her face will be flattenei
and her features will disappear.
The woman with the low brow is the
one who can wear the picturesque toqde
and the hat that is round and worn back
from the face. For her there is the tur-
ban, which is set upon the pompadour,
and the hat that flares up In front.
The woman who has passed that which
she considers her highest beauty mark
should not wear a hat back from her
face, for the hat that turns up in front
forces woman to admit every year of
her age.
The only women who can wear the hats
that are set far back upon the head are
those that belong TO one Of three classes;
the professional beauty, the very young
and the woman who does not care.
All women can wear the side tiltei
hat.
The woman past fifty should not at
tempt the pink rose next TO the face foc
it sallows the skin, nor should she try TO
wear the tipped hat. Jauntlness. while
chic u%n the youthful, is pathetic upon
the aged.
The waved couture looks well with any
hat, but care should be taken that the
waves do not broaden the face At the
pyramidal and its oval should be PEE
served.
Warm weather Evening Gowns.
Airy and delicate stuffs made UP with
ingenious simplicity and rendered strik-
Ing by touches OF pale or VIVID cOlor&-
such are the evening gowns Of this sum
mer, according to the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Black and white
seems to be a tremendous faVOrite. When
relieved by a judicious touch Of color
few combinations are more becoming or
more effective. 1t always looks lady
like" and need never look prim or stiff
A beautiful frock for evening Is OF
white chiffon over the SOfteSt Of SILK
foundations. The necessary fullness in
the skirt is obtained by numerous tuck
ings from the waist which are continued
in tablier form. This is outlined with
two rows of narrow and very fine black
lace. Below this again are fine black
lace Insertions IN undulatlnR waves, ana
in the center Of each is finely tucked
medallion Of the chiffon The little cor
sage is tucked entirely and outlined with
the black lace, and finished at the decol-
letage with soft DOW OF black ana
white tulle on the left side.
Another poetic creation Is of fine black
spotted net mounted over cream chiffon
and a lining Of soft silk of the same
shade, with a founce Of pale pink silk.
The skirt was tucked the hips and
trimmed with rows of black velvet rib
bons in a simulated fiounce. The little
bodice had a full front Of the cream
chiffon and a bow OF the palest pink
satin ribbon and the sleeves are finished
with two rows of narrow width god
this was a white glace petticOat, with
a deep hounce. trimmed with rows Of
black velvet ribbon.
A Havet dress is of Lorraine silk tissue
in wide stripes of black and white. It Is
adorned with yellow lace, with waves or
plisse white chiffon on the corsage, and
a note of rich depth produced by black
velvet ribbon here and there. Fhe skirt,
of course sets out round the feet and Is
decorated with two close hounces Of the
same black and white tissue. Tine lace
IS arranged in wide bretelles on each side
of a full chiffon vest and the strips OF
black velvet are an inch in width Be
meath sleeves that flow from the elbow
in a foam Of lace are white chiffon I'M
dersleeveS, with the most demure and
quaint little wristbands Of the same In
folds.
A striking frock is in broad black and
white striped chiffon over shimmering
satin, with two very deep tucks at the
foot and the fullness on the hips quite
faultlessly arranged IN points Of tiny
tucks. The bodice, which Is also finely
tucked, is pouched and finished with a
cunningly arranged berthe, made of rath-
er loose woven lawn with thick embroid-
cry and large medallions of black Chan
lilly lace, the whole held gracefully In
place by a large bow Of black velvet rib
bon.
Another charming gown is of delicate
white taffeta, with pale rose-plnk velvet
belt and stock. which has q full bow at
the back that is quite a novelty. The
corsage is accordion pleated frilled at the
front with cobwebby, fine black lace.
