Mankato millinery. stores are show
ing beautiful and unique designs in
hats this season. There is a style to
isuit every taste and the ladies can find
something becoming no matter what
their type of beauty may be. For
the brunette there are the warm
shades of raisin, cardinal, rose or any
shade that may bring out the attrac-
tiveness of the dark woman.
For the blonde there are pale shades
of turquois blue, light blue, yellow,
and all colors which add charm to
the blue eyed, light haired lady who
wears only certain shades. Black and
white are always good and are to be
seen among the new styles.
Then there are the beautiful large
black hats which are very popular
with fashionable women. The hat which
can be worn with every gown always
displays good judgment on the part
of lady, especially if the purse does

many ladies receive severe criticism by
the leaders of fashion. The more elab-

the fashionable woman, the palmer
the tailored gowns worn on the street.
The business woman or the woman
of moderate means cannot have two
sets of clothes, even though she may
have the opportunities to go with
people who have more money than
she. She cannot have evening clothes
and well tailored street clothing too
and it is considered far better judg
ment to put more money in good tail
ored clothes and not try to have both
kinds composed of cheap material.
And so it is with hats. In the

for the people of moderate means

question of taste, and judging from

every suit. A hat to match one suit
and created from striking shades does
not always look well with other colors.
| The woman who cultivates a taste
and wears colors which are becoming
is always well dressed. There are many
who adopt every conceivable style and
color and are source of perpetual
displeasure to the woman who studies
harmony and knows when colors quar-
rel.
The lady of moderate means can
not afford to have hat for every
dress. nor can she wear the same
dress all the time and purchase a
hat which goes well with every gown
is often a hard feat to accomplish.
The wealthy woman who does no.:
have to stop to consider expenses
can have hats for all occasions, but
a street hat can be worn more places
than a dress hat and if one cannot
afford both it shows much better
taste to have stylish street hat,
made of good material, than to wear
an attempt at dress hat which looks
entirely out of place on some occa-
sions.
Then too, it should always be re-
membered that street clothes can be
worn on most occasions. A tailored
gown and a stylishly trimmed hat
looks well at church, at a reception
at an evening function, at the theatre,

scene was one that spread broadcast

from the divine supply.
