Paris Styles Ny MARY FENTREsS

Paris (UP)--Milliners have gone "high- that" in Q big way, but there are lots of tricks to make hats look tall without making the wearer ap- pear top heavy.
 The exaggeratedly high crowns like flower pots turned upside down--are suitable only for the slender woman of medium height, A short woman looks ridiculous and gives the appearance of being all head and no body, while tall Wo- man looks like a circus giantess.
 The appearance of height can be given by the use of quills, sprays or feathers or ribbons for the woman whose stature cannot support @ crown of 6 or 8 inches high. When crowns are not high, they must De worked into pleats, tucks or folds to give the illusion of height. Tall auiils, standing straight up from the forehead, add height to small stature without making the wearer look grotesquely out of proportion Similarly, a tall woman can wear a hat with 6 cupped or rounded crown that is trimmed with rather frothy quills or heron feathers Fumes of this sort give the Illusion of height without adding actual inches.
 Many small women look well in tiny toques, which can be made this wear with the crown elevated an inch or 50 above the tip of the head, Tn these cases, the crown should be worked into tucks or into shirred chou to give the appearance or height.
 The taller woman can wear the new halo hats, which look too large for a short woman. These are worn well back on the hair line, stand out as a frame for the face at the sides and at the back Of the neck.

Name Was Wallis Warfield," the
life story of Mrs. Ernest Simpson,
which takes its place as the lit

According to the volume, Mrs.
Simpson has small, graceful feet
and ankles and has been known
to buy 18 pairs of shoes at a time.
Blue is her color.
She is lone of the few women
in the world to whom backless
evening gowns are becoming" Her
taste, however, does not run to
extremes.
Jewels Cause Signs
Her jewels cause women to sigh
with envy.
AS a young girl, the despair Of
her life was the fact her waistline
was so small.
Today Partisan designers agree
that Mrs. Simpsons figure (she
is now 40 years ODD is "close to
perfection"
These, and other interesting
SidelightS on the American woman
whom King Edward VIII wants to

by Edwina H. Wilson. The publish

vorces and of her first meeting
with the then Prince of Wales.
Mrs. Simpson, according to the
authors closeup picture, is not
tall-about five feet, four inches
though her slenderness seems to
give her greater height. The author
says:
"Her face is distinctive for
her high cheekbOnes, which
artists invariably admire. Her
brow is broad and well proper

OF WALLY ON SALE

scribed as "low-pitched, distinc.
tive"
An intimate friend is quoted as
saying:
ITO me, Wallis outstanding
characteristics have always been
her Self-diScipline, her courage
and loyalty. She is very re-
served and undemOnStrative,
but when she does show affec-
ton or tenderness, you value it
far more than from one who
shows emotion easily. She is
one of the best judges of people
l have ever known"
OF Good Family
The author of the book says Mrs.
Simpson was born June 19, 1896
in Baltimore, Md. She inherited
her mothers wit and gracious man
ner. Her father was T. Wallis War.

young. He was IAN exemplary
young man of excellent family
who had, however, little money.
Details of "Wally" Simpsons
childhood are related; also her
debutante days. And how, in 1915,
she went to visit a cousin at Pensa,
cola, Fla, and there met Lieut..
E. Winfield Spencer, jr., U. S. NJ,
of the Aviation Corps, a Chicagoan.
whom she married on September
19 of that year. They were SubSe-
quently divorced.
Likes Movie Comedies
On July 81, 1918, she married
again-to an Englishman whom
she had met in New York. He was
Ernest Simpson, employed by q
Ship-chartering firm of which his
father was a member. They were
married in London. After a we'd
ding trip to Spain and the
Balearic Islands, they returned to
London. In 1885 Mr.. and Mrs.
Simpson were known as members
of the Prince of Wales intimate
circle of friends. The Simpsons
were divorced in 1886.
The book gives a great many
interesting details about Mrs.
Simpson. For example, she likes
motion picture comedies-particu-
larly those made by Eddie Cantor
and Harold Lloyd. She can COM
plete a jigsaw puzzle in quick time.
She has a Photographic mind
and, having entered a room can
step outside and relate exactly
what the room contained. She is
friendly but can still keep people
at a distance. She has the widest
interests-are and literature and
events of state, as we'll as the
theater and racing at Ascot and
Aintree.
