In selecting hat see that the hair Is
not entirely covered by the crown or

indeed in these days of hats that come
down over the brow and threaten to
engulf the ears. No face appears to
advantage without ut least glimpse
Of its frame Of hair. Very often the
hair is a womun's most attractive fea-
ture, and to sacrifice 1t to style for
which another could he easily substl-
