Nobody can tell me that women are

that men are just as bad, if not lot worse,
than women when it comes to selecting a

A woman will bring whole troop of her
feminine friends down town to help select
hat, and then probably have two or three
sent to her home so that she can try the
effect before her own mirror. Men do the
same thing. Many time I have had to
let a man take a hat out for the after

friends would have to say about it. OF

ing hard to suit in gowns and millinery

make me a little tired when I see how
fastidious and flnnicky soma men can be.
