all curves and circles without

than pound or two overweight:
Her blue eyes were round ana
the eyebrows above them followed a
ro,,nded line. Cheeks, chin, mouth
and even the tip of her dainty nose
we're all rounded And perhaps II was
bacause she was so very round IN
nroportions that she seemed to nave
a nrediiection for round clothes ana
accessories. She liked polka dotted
materials and frocks with edges cut
in round scallops.

miIliners and chose q neat little ndt

told her candidly when she asked our
opinion that the hat was all Wroiis; :,
At another millinery shop presioeo
over by French woman OF lhilnl.e
+aef and good taste she bought an
o.hs,. hat-a narrow -brimmed hat with
a fairly high crown. You nave no
s5aa what a difference 1t made
though the two sketches may give you
or inkling. In the second hat all the
lovely curves of her face and head ana
nect took on a note or dlstlnclioIi'
They had seemed absolutely common,
n,aca i'm the hat with the rounoeu
eartabs.
THE woman with a large head has
IN bar own opinion at least, the haru-
est of all millinery problems 10 SOW
nowadays. If she must oress oh q
strictly limited dress allowance sue
,,s,,aIlv snends hours and hours going
tt,a rounds of the shops, wearing out
her strength and her courage IN
search of a hat that can De puiieu
over her too ample head. She Is re

shane or any color, II she can oliis

hat so tight that It IS nt.ie shoae .a .ne

Probably. the type of hat most gen
