For girls with plump cheeks (but
not too round faces-the poke bon

shown in severe straws for street
wear, and In soft braids and satins,
with flowers and lace for dress. For
the right types they make beautiful
and bewitehing pictures. But re-
member, the poke bonnet demands
youth. The poke ages even young
ish women who have passed out of
their teens.
Designers are agreed that the
most youthful styles are rolled away
from the face, and SO they make
them roll In every conceivable shape
and at every angle.
Never buy a hat just because it is
