day, 1t Is not the least necessary for
her to be born with trace of beauty
to commend herself to far-flung pub.
lie and be considered a woman of
striking appearance.
The silhouette is the thing.
This Is accentuated, or probably, II
is better to say, 1t Is nearly embodied
In the hat. Tbe woman who does not
strike the top note clear and strong
might as well consider herself out of
The running In fashion and In nttrac-
tiveness Of personal appearance.
MARRIED by Hat.
If women in mass could only be
made cognlzant of the truth concern
ing hats, the milliners would talk less
and women would look better. 1t Is
the ignorance of the majority of wom-
en- as to what kind of hat they should
wear that gives the milliner who must
sell hats q chance to mar face that
might be made attractive and ruin
gown that has been admirably exc
cuted.
1t Is not possible to lay down laws
for the buying of hats. The tilt Of a
nose. the droop Of an eyebrow, would
smash every rule conceived and ex-
pressed. If woman cannot learn how
to buy hat. she should take up the
study until she is letter perfect and
she will save time, vitality, temper and
money! quartette that Is sorely need
ed for more serious affairs in these
days.
There Is no limit to the variety of
hats. when one refers to shape, but
there is little variety when 1t comes
to startling inspiration. The immense
oriental turban Is the novelty and Is
worn by women who care to preserve
the Eastern look in their costumery
whenever the occasion permits 1t.
The original turban is of black satin
with black paradise lin front ana
crystal buckle to hold the spread
ing feathers. 1t Is worn low on the
head, showing not n flicker of hair, ex-
cept tab on each ear to fill In the
hiatus between the brim of the hat
and the pearl earrings.
One thing should be we'll fixed In
the mind regarding this oriental head
gear, which is that it should be kept
| for ceremonial occasions. 1t Is not
| the kind of hat to wear on the street IN
| the morning on windy day. 1t may
be worn indoors for any day affair."
and 1t has been adopted by smart
women with half-low gowns for din
nerS and suppers ut restaurants.
The Restaurant Hat.
The milliners are enchanted over
the prospect Of selling more hats
through the new custom, which calls
for covering on the head, no matter
how low the gown, for evening usage
| in restaurants.
The new fashion of adding an ornn-
mental hat to distinguished gown
when one dimes in public has been
taken from the French, who have worn
hats In the evening for century, re-
CARELESS of the English habit Of uncov-
ering the head and shoulders the mo-
ment the clock strikes seven.
These restaurant hats are quite a
feature of new millinery, and with the
exception of the sumptuous oriental
turban, they are so broad Of brim that
they suggest the days Of the Merry
Widow. Usually they are of black vel
vet, although satin has an accepted
place. The trimming Is as near an
nigrette as woman can afford, and II
she can run the blockade of the Aubu
bon society she will use bit Of the
real thing, If she is the possessor of 1t.
AS to colors, 1t is difficult to get
away from black. 1t Is accepted by
every class of society for every hour
of the day. The trimming is incense
quental. Women have been educated
beyond the point of thinking that q
feather, a flower and Il ribbon are nee
essary to the accomplishment Of q
good hat or the reason for its price.
