ut is astonishing how many women
can afford TO wear the small hat
with the straight brim. When the
milliners tried to exploit this

which rolled around the face and be-
hind the ears. 1t was graceful. it ac
centuated the virtues of ones face it
did not bring out the hard lines, and
it did not require perfect features.
The hat with the straight brim does
not have these admirable advantages,
and yet in its present incarnation, it
is worn without disadvantages to the
face by a vast number of women.
