COMFORT FOR SHORT WOMEN
Winter Hats Seem to Have Been De-
signed Especially to Suit the
Smaller Figures.

Dame Fashion seems to have de-
signed many of this coming winters
hats especially for the small and
short woman. This type of woman in
years past has always had much trou.
BILE In getting becoming shapes OF
hats. In most cases these were eth.
er too small or too large-so large. in
fact. that the small face and tiny fea.
lures of a short woman seemed all but
lost In the huge sized chapeau that
she was Obliged to select, unless she
preferred one of the very small
shapes which gave her a decidedly
old look.
Many people are under the tmpre..
sion that small hat is the best choice
for a short or small woman. This ia
really mistake. A small hat does
not help matters along as much as
might be supposed.
The medium sized hat is the correc,
one for the short woman-that hat
which has much of the charm of a pic
ture hat without its great size. So
