its appearance for sport wear
when the hat was of beautiful

The soft felt hat which may be

With the hat to be worn with
an afternoon frock feathers are
in high favor, but invariably
they are turned down and reach
far below the brim Of the hat.
The crowns of these hats are
so generally rounded and cone
shaped that a square crown is
quickly noticeable, though they
do make their appearance now
and then.

very fashionable tea recently had

Felt Cloche Best
For Tailored Waer
Smart Women Favor
Severe Styles For
Street Wear
(By Muriel Mertens)

II is often said-and quite
truly-that you can always tell
when a woman is wearing 4 new
hat by the gratifed, pleased ex-
preston on her face. Somehow
with a becoming new hat she
feels well dressed, no matter
how old and shabby her frock
or coat may be. And smart hat
really does set off the costume
as well us the face, marvelouSiy.
But perhaps the newest idea is
to have hat which Is suitable
and appropriate with the rest ~
ones costume. In fact, the real
secret Of being well dressed is
the ability to wear things that
go well together and are becom-
inc to you. The woman who has
very few costumes, but makes
them complete by having her hat
lust perfectly suited to her froc&
and her shoes, gloves AIT! hos
icry in perfect accord, will al
ways look well dressed, even
though she wears that same cos
tune every day in the year.
Unless one keeps strict rem on
ores self. one IS apt to see some
charming little hat in shop win

really is not necessary, for never

countless varieties and variations
of the millinery mode.

hose are appropriate at all times.
For sports wear The silk haze

fish silk and wool stocking. They
are much more practical for sum-
mer than the ali wool and being
much softer, many women find
them far more comfortable.
And in such fascinating colors

in the trimming the variation IS
infinite. One smart little model

is trimmed with fuzzy little

side. This tendencwi seseen on
countless smart hats. The trim

Another smart cloche has L
