time when woman does not need just one new hat? That with the summer fogs and bleaching sun, and the cruel winds and rain storms of winter, millinery, which is usually of the most perishable goods, has hard time of it, and my lady is always in need of something more for her good appearance. At the present moment there are absolute ly different styles, each and all of which seems to be the very latest hats and small hats, severe hats and elaborate hats, hats with wings and hats with roses, hats with flow CTS and hats with feathers-black, white, red, green, blue, as we'll as the pastel shades, and those duller tints that are so popular this win ter
 Of course, the first requisite of hat is that it is becoming. That
 
 what is becoming, seems to be greatly at variance to judge from the styles that many women adopt. Now every woman wishes to be smart and picturesque at the same time, while as a matter of fact there is only about one woman in a hundred, and that young one, who can be picturesque, though it is possible for all women to be smart if-and here's the point-if they will study themselves and dress ac- cordingly. Int hats of this season seem to be created for the woman with fluffy hair, whereas nine wo- men out of ten have straight hair, and if there be little of it woe is her only portion. This is where vate an art. There are two methods open for these women: first, she may visit hairdresser's have her hair arranged in a manner becOm- ing to her own face, while keeping within up-to-date styles, then go to her milliner and have hat made to suit her face, and whenever the hat is worn she must learn to do her hair in that one style or the good effect will certainly be lost: or this woman may let her milliner pick out for her a hat, suggest where and how to pull the hair this way or that or build it up or down lit tie more az. then fill in the bare spots with flower, puff, ruche, etc, so that it may fit the face, the first made over in the latter way is often spoiled by adding too much,
 While a woman with a big face should not by rights wear a small hat, yet if they know how to place the hat at the right angle on the head and how to arrange the hair on the sides. around the face and at the back of the head so that the angle will be becoming, small hat is often made extremely becom- ing. A little change in the trim- ming will do a good deal, such as the bringing forward or backward, or higher up on the sides of the wings. quills, or bow of ribbon The woman with small face must be careful as she who has a large one, and these with long, round, or oval faces all must study their one particular style, but figure as we'll
 Stiff shapes as we'll as soft shapes vie with each other for supremacy in popular favor. The stiff shapes are not as rule very becoming, es- pecially to the older or young faces, but to the tailor-made, trim, busi- ness looking woman there is no style that carries out her makeup to the better as we'll as the stiff hat. Almost without exception the stiff shapes have crowns-rOund, med tum high and the crown is trimmed with a fold of satin or rosette of ribbon or velvet or satin for the sake of the softening effect. If the hat is made of two or three folds of velvet soften it materially, and then the trimming is supplied to whatever else is required. The edge of many of the velvet hats is finished with a band of mirror vel vet or satin. The satin shapes of last winter are still worn, but are
