nYEW YORK-The hostile attitude
IN toward the unexpected in our cos
tune is reflected even In US. Al
though new ideas are accepted in poll
tics, economics and art, most women
are reluctant to exercise this privilege
in fashion. When recently co-educa-
ton was proposed in England, one
Englishman ardently warned the men
that it would result in making Eng

asks him, timidly.
Now too much mirror gazing to
study ones good and bad points may
be called vanity, writes Lucille Clan

to adopt fashions wisely. perhaps add
ing a touch OF individuality, gives
more satisfactory results than can be
achieved from blindly following the
vogue OF the day.

Suit the Hat to the Face.
Just at present high and small hats
are still the vogue. 1t is seriously

an oval face and long features will
not wear the extreme ones. Such
hats are becoming only to round,
chubby faces.
Large hats, however, are not desir-
able for daily wear. They are not
practical and then they are not in
vogue. The woman with a rather long
face will find a medium size, oval hat.
which is shown In various styles, be-
coming.
One OF these models is slit on the
left side slightly and rather high.
The facing is of straw. The top and
the entire crown are covered by
plated silk. An old blue, Roman
striped silk may be used effectively.
The garniture may be a smart bow
or any of the novel feathers that
would harmonic with the silk.
The lines of such hats have unusual
value for a face of the type mentioned
above. While they show the sill
houette of the face and hair to advan.
tage, still, at the same time, they
lend roundness TO the face.
Effective Evening Hats.
White Jet spangle combined with
white maline is worn at present at
Nice. For the woman who looks best
in white this, no doubt, is a novel and
anything more diaphanous for evening
wear than such combination, per-

Small ostrich tips have been re-

hat on which they may be placed APP
