In hat trimmings the novelty
feathers certainly lead all others, and
seemingly never before were such
quantities of Ornamentation used up
on one hat. Immense bows of soft
ribbon will often catch bunch OF
feathers as large as three feather dus-
ters, and then in all probability a
spray of flowers will tuck itself away
somewhere among the other decora-
tIons.
When birds or wings are employed
eight and even more are used. and as
many as a dozen undressed ostrich
feathers is only modest trimming.
Flowers and cocks feathers &C.,
which strike one as being in doubtful
Iaste-are used profusely on the same
hat, and immense roses nesting into
velvet trim many of the fine felt mod
els most successfully. Combined in
this way shades of brown and tints
of purple are extremely effective.
On small hats and felt sailors scarfs
of gayly striped silk make smart and
practical adOrnment for street wear.
Among so many shapes and colors
the choice of hat would seem an
easy matter, but, as every modern
woman knows, selecting becoming
model Is one of the most difficult OF
problems.
In the first place, a hat will be at
tractive in the store when being tried
on; IN fact. will seem to be Just suit
ed to the head but once get that same
hat home and try It on again. Does 1t
act in the same way? Very, very sell
dom. One authority goes so far as to
say that hats have tempers," and
really, this is not difficult to believe.
and that when they refuse to behave
there is nothing to do but to put
them back in their boxes until they
repent and are willing to obey.
A more practical way to make a
hat suit, in my opinion, is to find out
whether II is the hair that is in fault.
or If the nose shines, bringing It into
too much prominence. or whether the

Effected by the faults in the two first
cases, the color by the state of the
complexion.
Remedies for all these are easy.
THE hair can be rearranged until hat
and head agree perfectly, a dab of
powder may be applied to the nose,
and Il little medicine and fresh air
will cure the temporary sallowness.
When all these suggestions fail, then
the hat is at fault, and 1t is no use

wisely. Shape or color are at fault. |
There is simply no hard and fast rule
for choosing a hat, for oftentimes a !
