mand /. And she stops. And then, there,
just as she stands, 1 place the hat upon
her head.
Wait said the lady to me last even
ing as was arranging a concert hat upon
her head. That is the wrong side. The
velvet bow should be directly at the back
Not this time, madam I replied. Your
hair is built out very wide at the left
side, so you hat should turn up a little
on that side, The bow will just set off
your couture at the side
But said she, it is impossible. I
cannot wear my hat crooked. 1t will be
ridiculous.
You are wrong, 1 said, and l Will
prove ii TO you
And hastily ripping out the lining, I
showed her the inner side of the hat. II
had a Paris label in the inside and the
marking showed that last year the hat
had been worn sideways. This season il
had simply been turned a little to one side
and the trimming rearranged.
You see / am right L said. The hat
viii fit your head either way l then
spiked the hat fast, bent it a little to fit
the hairdressing, and when it was in place,
adjusted rightly, | fitted a veil to it. The
result was charming.
Tricks PrSctIced In France.
Il learned this trick of turning the hat
from a Paris milliner. Our hats are all
built to be worn either way she said,
though we do not advertise this fact 10
the American trade. When a French lady
is out Of complexion, when her face feels
drawn and her eyes are dull, she turns the
hat around so that it throws a wide shade
upon her face. But when she is at her
best she wears It In such a way that Il
turns up at the side and presents a chic
ard slightly tilted appearance at tho front.
No French woman would think Of owning
a hat that could not be reversed
AS for making up the face, invariably
do il after the hat is on. Most women
wear the hat too far back from the face.
Hats have a tendency to work back a lii.
tie and unless they are set pretty we'll
rwa they are soon flying far back
from the face. Few faces are sufficiently
lovely to bear the test of a hat that sets
too far back.
Il take a hat and set il well front. Often
place il right upon the forehead. I then
put in the pins, and for the purpose OF
holding the hat in place 1 use small black
ard white nat pins Of the kind that come
at a cent each. / use half a dozen OF
these selecting white heads or black heads
as may best suit the trimming. 1 push
them well into the hat, so that they are
invisible.
Few ladies use a sufficient number Of
hatpins OF the right sort. They select the
expensive and easily broken pins, and with
THESE they try TO Keep the hat on. Of
course the pins bend and fail to do their
work and the hat does not long stay
anchored to its moorings.
i believe in rouge-what beauty expert
does not?-and OF course I think that a
lady should powder and pencil a little. /

powder / do this all, II you can believe
me. after the hat is on. Ii is a matter Of
working daintily and carefully.
MY recipe for making up a face for a
hat and veil is this: TAX Of soap and
cornmea enough to clear the skin OF dust
and other pore impurities. Follow with
enough cold cream TO make the face shiny.
Take off the shine with plenty Of good
face powder Of a color TO match your skin.
and then put on less than a hint OF rouge.
You are now ready for your nat and ven.
