When You Buy a Hat.

Don't overlook the Importance of
having 1T ht-when you go to buv q
hat.
One of the worst things that a hat
can do is to be SO tight that it presses sas
on your head. 1t is pretty sure to
produce headache and quite as sure
to make you feel irritable Usually.
II your head is of normal size a hat
that fits too snugly can be altered
simply in the milliner's workroom to
fit you. 1t is quite as great an error
to buy hat that is too large.
Though this may not feel SO uncom
Portable. a hat that is too large never
looks right and there is no way of
making it look right.
So first comes fit and then comas
color. Unless you can afford to have
separate hat for every street frock
in your wardrobe you must give the
question of the color of the hat rather
serious consideration. 1t is easier to
select a nat to go well with your
frocks and suits than to get the suits
and frocks to go with the hat Even
If you have not actually secured your
autumn wardrobe you should at least
have in mind what colors you intend
to use before selecting the hat
or course. the black hat is almost
always safe investment. 1t can be
worn well with any color and is very
generally becoming. 1t has a way of
looking smart when hat of the same
shape and trimming in another color
might look just the reverse
Brown hats of the warmer hues,
selected for many autumn hats this
year. are also very generally beeom-
ing. 1t is a fact that brown hat
that fits closely-a small brown hat
is more generally becoming than
large brown hat. A brown hat COM
bines we'll with navy blue. providing,
of course, you have no vivid color
combination in the suit. For in
stance. you would hardly want to In
troduce a brown hat with navy
tblue suit that had gilet of magenta.

there has been. but the vamp is ac-
tually shorter nevertheless.
This summer high shoes have oeen
almost forgotten. 1t is so exceptional
to see woman in high shoes that we
almost stare at her when we see her-
And the chances are that low SHOES
will be worn through the winter to
an unusual extent Some women Will
simply defy weather conditions and
wear pumps and slippers with SILK
stockings. while other women VIII
take up wooden stockings again with
the oxford type of low shoe as soon
as cold weather appears.
There will, however. be high shoes
laced as has been the rule for sew
eral seasons. The high button shoe
is extremely rare.
Perhaps the greatest novelty in
store for the seasons shoes pertains
to color. Aside from black. gray and
the usual browns there will be shoes
of a dark navy blue color. and 1t; is
predicted that they will meet with in
slant approval among well dressed
women.
