SUGGESTIONS Nv ....
SELECTION OF
FALL MILLINERY !

At this season in the year, every
woman is interested in the Selcc-
tion of new hat, and the follow
ing hints based on the hat making
project being carried ont i'll the farm
home departments this month, may
prove of help in choosing the fall
millinery.
To begin with, hats should be Sc
lectcd on the basis of beeomingness
the color and general line; on that
of appropriateness to the wcarer to
the rest of the costume and TO the
purpose for which worn, and on tkaS
of durability.
The whole 4, figure should lie
studied when. selecting one 81 head
gcar-short, stout figures should
choose hats which give height and
should avoid large mushroom shapes.
tall, thin figures should avoid an
hats that lend height to the figure;
tall, large figures should avoid very
small hats. and the normal type, SO
far as the figure is concerned. may
wear almost any type of hat.
Here are 4 few suggestions which
will aid the shopper for hats 10
avoid accentuating undesirable lines
and features-a person with = round
face should avoid lines broadening
the face, soft irregular hrimS usual
~ being better than upturn"d
brims.
The person with a long, thin face
should avoid anything that length
ems the face; the person with a
pointed face win find that soft
hats are more becoming than an.
gular shapes. and the person pos
sessed OF a snub nose should not
wear hats that turn up from the face
nor those which are too wide in
front.
In order TO minimize a rcceding
chin. avoid hats turning up in front
and turn up the side brm TO give
length to the face, fitting the hat
so the angle will increase the length
of the chin. If it is high cheeE
bones that are the undesirable tea-
ture. the brim should be tipped SO
as to give length TO the feature.
while the face with a big nose and
broad nostrils needs small brim
to soften and give shadow.
The individual skin should be
analvzed as to color and hat colors
chosen accordingly. ANY color may
be worn by anyone if worn in the
right tone. the right amounts and
trimmed with the proper harmony.
Ones mirror is the best adviser.

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE
- Aittilfiiiiitli1ii

Question: When are introdue-
tions necessary?
Answer: In the home. At small
affairs, introductions are usually
made, but at larger affairs, either
the hostess or her relatives or
friends are delegated to see that the
guest is introduced 10 few people,
usually those nearest her. Each
guest is always presented to the
Honor guest. and at diner party II
is seen that each man is presented
to the woman whom he is to take
ont to dinner.
It is never necessary to interrupt
"a conversation to introduce guest,
and the mere fact that a group of
people are guests in the home of a
hostess is sufficient introduction,
nc other being needed.
At small theatre or restaurant
parties. introductions are made. but
any confusion or conspicuousness
is always to be avoided.
Strangers and out of town guests
visiting club should be introduc-
ed to a few members in order to
avoid a reflection ON the hospitali-
" Of the community or the organ,
ization.
In public places stranger should
tie one making the introduction Is
fairly sure that il will prove desir-
able TO the members of the group.
