trasting her clothes with them. The mother of a married daughter sailed up Fifth Avenue one day last summer with her head held high. and aloft upon that head was an immense picture hat of lace with coquettish edging of lace dropping about the brim. She was nothing less than absurd, whereas she might have been a splendid picture of dignity and stateliness had she worn hat suited to her years. Her daughter, less than 25, would have been charming in the hat
 The picture hat is limited to no class other than that of youth. A woman must not necessarily be pretty to wear 1t. Off, ten a clever miliiner can tilt it 50 that ie droops becomingIy over most irregular features. The lace or plumes that accom- pany 1t are softeuing to any face. It is stunning on a tall woman and piquant on a small one. Its own irregularity of out line makes it susceptible of slight changes that adapt 1t to any features.
 1t seems to be the hat of the ages. Shspherdesses, as far back as they are re- ported, were known to wear a form of the picture hat. Gainsborough century ago gave his natne to one form of it by paint ing it In his famous Duchess of Devon- shire'' portrait. The present Duchess of Marlborough has stamped 1t as her own in the present century. Women are quick to realize what a picture t makes of them and to take advantage of the fact.
 The hat that flares daringly from the face is a privilege granted to none but Q pretty woman. although with the present tip-tilted styles many girls have seized upon the hat that was not theirs by right
 It seems to be a herald of beauty. It lifts itself audaciously boldly revealing the face beneath, as if to say Here Is R beauty, she Is open to the admir- ration of aIl." It is a sorry rev- elation when a plain face. appears bc- meath. Just because your features are bad is no reason for wearing sackcIoth and ashes. You can acquire q charm of your own through health and careful dressing. But you must accept the fact that you always are to be denied certain privileges, and one of these is the big fiaring hat,

your figure az well as your face.A very short woman is ridiculous in an immense hat, unless she is pretty and graceful enough to he piduant On the other hand. a woman who is far too tall is nothing less than overwhelming in huge picture hat. There is a certain balance between the haad-piece and the figure and this balance must be preserved. Your own good taste viii guide you in this matter.

 The old rule of match your hair by day and your eyes by night" is now regarded as almost meaningless. Expcr- fment proved it's mistakes in many cases. In general. the dead white hat should
 be worn by none except tho girl with dark hair and delicate complexion, and is, therefore, the most difficult Of all
 hats. The black hat is safe for almost anyone, and can be worn by many whose skin is too dark to pexmit of black below the face. Black above and white below the face is inclined to make sallow wo- man LOOK xairof.

Unless a woman knows the relation be- tween her hat and her face. all the nniiii- ners in Paris can do nothing for her. 4 S75 imported creation may be an utter failure if it is not suited to her particu- lar style. She may be outdone by her own chambermaid in a dollar-twenty-htne factory made hat that is the proper shape for her.
 The hat question is 6 vital question where beauty Is concerned. No part of the costume affects the face as much. The lines of the gown mean everything to the figure, but face and hair depend for their offsetting upon the headpiece. Choose it carefully. Study yourself care- fully before you buy for Easter.
 Can you not invest In triple mirror for the purpose? It Is expensive, but should far rather have one in the plainest wood- en frame than a poor mirror framed in carved ivory. If you have not been in the habit of using triple mirror it will reveal to you many interesting facts. Perhaps you never knew the perfections of your profile. Make yourself thorough ly acquainted with them, if you are si1- Cere in your quest for beauty.
 Whatever these facts may be, do not be afraid to look them in the face. They may be unpleasant. You may find that years are beginning to show more than you had realized, and that you no longer look as young as your daughter. Perhaps on the other hand. you are one of those modest little persons who never have ap- preciated the beauty given them. There are many girls who might be called beau- ties, if they would realize the fact and do the most in their power to display their natural charms.
 The truth Is never a bad thing, if you take 1t in the right way. The fact that you look older than you did at IS is not 6 tragedy Plenty of people admire the mature style of charm far more than the kittenish. It becomes misfortune only when woman tries to conceal it beneath e kittcnish manner or rakish hat.
 The picture hat is for no face but a young face. This is a law violated every day. and with disastrous results. There is no way that a woman past youth can exaEgerate her years So much as by con-

this spring, and 1t behooves many of us to beware of them. They are for the woe man with small face. The toque is be- witching perched above saucy little nose, a rosebud mouth and a round chin. Even sterner features. providing that they are not large, can adopt the close hat. But the girl with a wide mouth. large nose. and. worst of all., wide cheek bones, must steer clear of this risky fashion. No matter whether the small hat has a fad of not. there are always plenty of large hats to be found in fash- ionable designs, and you cannot afford to ruin your good looks for passing whim of fashion.
 The tailor hat Is for the tailor girl, and that means the girl who has that elusive something called style. Severe hats are best above regular features, but even these are not as essential as that smart ness of carriage and manner that makes tailored costumes possible. This quality has more to do with physical and mental vigor and boise than anything else. and can be acquired only when these are es- tabllshed. No woman who feels and looks ''draggy" can possibly be stylish. Beware of buying a hat for the face alone. The profile on each side must be considered and the general shape of the head as well. If the crown Of the head is inclined to fatness do not wear hat that hollows away at that point. Let it be filled out with ribbons or other trim- ming. If the head is too large therei avoid hat that projects at the same place.
 If the head is high and the face long and narrow, avoid a towering hat just as you avoid towering hair dressing.
 If the face is wide, the hat must be wide.
 A hat is often becoming to one side of the face and not to the other. A little painstaking will result in making 1t be. coming to both proiies. You must bear ih mind. however. that one side of your face is prettier than the other. No nnil- liner can overcome this fact.
 Although very high hat Is bad for q very long face the reverse is not al- ways true. The short-faced girl Is some times pretty in the fiat hat.
 An aqulline nose takes kindly to the hat that bends over. the face, and the re- trousse nose Is at It's best under a more or less uptilted hat These are general rules, but the individual face must be considered.
 If you have an established way of wear ing your hair and have found that it is the only becomlnagway, accept no hat but one that harmonizes with 1t. Don't lei the mllliner make q sale by telling you that it will be wonderfully becoming il you will only change the coil of youI hair. 4 hat can be found that is the hal for you and your ndivldualityr-mor now than ever before, for uever was there a season when so many sfapes were in fa- vor.

MOuey II It 6dl1S to CuTe.
 A long stride toward solving the mys- tery of curing catarrh was taken with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact, the per. centage of cures by this treatment proves 1t equal to the final tests.
 The folly of taking medicine into the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose throat and lungs. has been realized by physicians. but not until Hyomei was known, had they a practical method that would obviate stomach drugging.
 A complete Hyomei outfit costs but S1 and consists of neat pocket inhaler that can be used anywhere without at- tracing attention. a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei
 Breathing Hyomei through the inhaler every particle of air that enters the nose, throat and lungs, Is charged with a heal ing balsam that soothes and allays an irritation kills the catarrhal germs and enriches the blood with additional ozone
 F. G. Fowler, Druggist, has so much faith in the power of Hyomei to cure 'catarrh that he is selling it under his per sonal guarantee to refund the money if 1t does not give positive relief.
