says Vogue
The girl or woman with the round,
plump face should always wear a hat
that adds length to her features, and
relieves the effect of heaviness.
Nothing overlarge or exaggeratedly
tall and no decidedly rigid droops on

ployed, but they should refrain from
the very large head-sizes that tend
to shorten the forehead, and often dis
turb the harmony OF all the features.
The size of a hat must always be
governed by the shoulders and the
length of the neck. When the former
are very broad and straight the brim
must be moderately large, so as not
to make the neck to appear too short,
and when they are slipping a wide brim
in capeline or Gainsborough effect
will be best.--Independent News.

Yet the difference was altogether a
matter OF taking proper care.

now have in the purely scientific work

\ Green is unrivalled in popularity.

Gaudy stockings are being Haunted

Skirts are to be bit wider about

Many OF the smartest velvet and
velyeteen street suits are noticeably
short and tight in the skirts.
White crepe de chine with printed
Persian borders is one OF the hand
soonest materials for a house gown.
A new idea is to udraDe an over
dress OF chiffon velvet over a gown
of satin lace and metallic tissue.
Fine crossbar muslin and batiste

covered with a fawn veil, you will
present such a picture OF dull de-
preston that no one will take the
trouble TO look for beauties that
might easily be enhanced by careful
ly selected pastel tints."
Advice is also given on choosing
colors suitable TO different complex
ions. The "tawny type" of woman
must wear deep rich shades OF brown,
toning from bright chestnut to mole
color, amber or deep wine tints shot
with red-gold lights, special shades OF
purple verging on deep violet, shades
OF gold and blue, green and certain
tones OF soft gray for day wear. For
evening toilettes, white with touches
Of gold, is most becoming.
The red-haired beauty should
choose rich sable or ermine furs, and
sometimes chinchilla softened with
old lace
The blonde" woman must robe
herself in pure white Of diaphanous
texture, relieved by faint shade Of
color that emphasizes her fairness
and calls attention to the blue color
OF her eyes. If the blonde has a
pinkand-white skin she can adorn
herself with the faintest blush-rose
shades. Grays and all-black costumes
are becoming to the blonde, and furs
OF ermine, rich black or white fox
enhance the beauty of golden hair.
The brunette is cited as fortunate,
for she may choose from many col
ors, from dark blues, green's, shades |
OF brown, from fawn 10 deep russell. |

Farms and Population

The Kansas City Journal offers for
the falling off in population of some
of the richest farming counties in
Kansas. the novel explanation that the
farmers are moving to towns and cities
and doing their farming by long~range;
that successive bumper crops have
made them rich enough to afford auto
mobiles and telephones and to take
their families TO the city. where they
may have the superior social and edu-
cational advantages and that they are
running things out on the farm by
means Of the telephone and auto. This
may be true in cases, but we scarcely
believe the theory can be seriously ac-
cepted for the whole
1t is a fact that in Kansas. in Iowa
