Styles for Stout, Short, Slender
and Other Types.
Stiff Monotonous Edge Not Becoming
to Many Persons-Headoear for
the Children.

When choosing hat consider well
the following points:
stout woman, generally speaking
must wear wider brim than the
slender one, since width In the brim
and height In the crown viii tend
to overbalance rouneness of the face.
The short, slender woman with a
small face should almost never wear
hat with brlm averaging more
in width.
The iong-faced woman. especially
if she is tall, should avoid the tall
crowned or tall trimmed hat. She
may, however. wear a wider brlmmed
hat than the short, slender woman.
The tall stout woman is often stun
ming In large brimmed hat, because
her height makes 1t possible for her
to wear hat which would make the
short. stout woman appear grotesque.
Hats with mushroom brims belong
entirely TO youth. Downward turning
lines in the face are not desirable. and
should therefore not be emphasized by
downward turning lines in brims or
hats.
For the person who wears glasses,
hard lines and edges In hats should
he studiously avoided. An edge may
be softened by bias fold, ribbon
slightly fulled. or a band Of fur.
hat with n stlf mo1otonous edge
is not likely to be becoming to many
persons, especially to those who are
no longer young.
The most successful childs hat Is
the soft. pliahle kind which may be
pulled down On the head and sub
1ected to more or less rough treat
ment without very materially lnIur-
ing Its looks and wearing qualities.

THE TAILORED SPORT WAIST

With Autumn Suits Moulded on

Sport waists are mostly of tub
fabrics and mannIsh. severe shirts are
extremely smart with autumn sport
suits on mannish lines. One blouse
is made Of striped shirting OF the sort
thas is used for mems custom-made
shirts of aristocratIc character. The

could be smarter. A loosely knotted

Another sport blouse is more fem.

engaging. II is made of tan and white
striped linen. with plain white linen
collar, cuff and front panel. These
sport bIouses come also In bIue-and-

Blouse Popular.

The popular jumper dress has Gre
nted an unusual demand for the net
-uimpe blouse, and many of the shops
are featuring extensive displays where
women can pick up pretty models at
exceptionally low prices. Among
these the round collar seems to be
prominent and 1t is quite noticeable

cut higher at the neck than we have
worn them for some time. This may
be foreruDner of the high neck

It. but because we must be In style.
