E0o begin at the beginning. wear
your hat straight this season.
No slant, no rakish angle. no
q attempt to show one side of the
head more than the other. Turn from
q coquette into civil engineer, draw
a straight line low on the brow from
temple to temple, then place the hat
exactly on it. This is the basis of the
new millinery, and if you are not well
aware of it and do not start the whole
business of posing and buying hat
on this firm foundation then you might
as well wear bonnets of mid-Fictorian
days and dismiss the entire question OF
fashion. Possibly that idea of dismiss
sal would suit You better than any
other, but. honestly, you might regard
it seriously for an hour or day, and
the first milliner's window you passed
would break that determination as a
rock brushes an egg.
Start right on the question, therefore.
1t saves wastage of money, OF. vitality,
of a preliminary canter in ugliness.

:
Did Napoleon suggest this new meth
cd of posing hats? Possibly. He has
been the source of inspiration for so
much that women are calling new
fashions that it is easy to assume that
the method he adopted of squaring that
famous hat of his across the more IA
nous brow has made its fortieth ap-
peal to the fashion mongers.
Curious, isn't it, how hats leap and
jump from back to front, from side to
side as though they were trout on a
hook. The shape may not change ma
terially for three seasons. but the angle
is always changing. SO that woman is
never sure that she will be able to
master the new trick. And some wom-
en- neFer do.
When it comes to placing a hat cor
rectly or. better still, smartly and at
tractively on the head. the wisest mil
liner and the best mirror have their
limitations as first aid to the injured.
The milliners say what the doctors
say to their patients who have nervous
troubles: that the salvation lies in ones
self, not in any outside aid. Practice

Yet there is a way if there is sufficient

accomplish the best pose of the plafnest
hat with, the speed that fire horse
drops into his harness. Human nature
has not arrived at this delightful state
of coStumery.
The woman who boasts that she drops
into her clothes at the ring of bell
and is off to her duties, always bears
strong evidence of her rapid perform
ance. She may be proud of her facility
but she has no reason for pride in the
result.
Well at least, there is this to be said
in regard to the fashionable pose: 1t is
the simplest that the milliners have de-
manded in several seasons. That rakish
tilt or the succession of them that have
governed millinery during the last few
years were difficult beyond measure to
achieve. The genus which we call flap
per for want of a real name could dc
this tilt to perfection. no matter how
often it changed as she could do the
latest and most complicated dance
step.
When France sent US word that hats
would be pliab1e and without regular
form the news was not received with
especial delight, for it was thought
that the effect would be negligent, toe
difficult of graceful adjustment over
the irregular features of the average
American face.
We did not look far enough forward
or backward in taking this view. fol-
the hats which France was copying
were from the era of picturesque fash
ions for men. Women's hats were not
of any Importance then; in truth, there
were head coverings that reached from
the primitive band that the early fash
ionables invented to keep the hair out
of the eyes. and later, the towering
