 Now that hats mean business . forward-sweeping stove pipes really covering your crown and sometimes your brow toques and turbans hugglng your ears sugarloafs and bonnets set well down on your head-what happens to your hair?
 Something must. Models who turned out in so-different hats with the same old pompadour and curls proved that. So make up your mind to this: the smart woman will buy her new head-hugging hat fully prepared to hie to the hair stylist for a coif to suit the hat; Or she will look twice to see that her hat fits her hair.
 There are lots of original ideas for changing the hair. The designer of some of the most strikingly HAT hats, suggests whimsically: "The girl around the corner, who had her hair down in back, now will put 1t up. The girl who had 1t up before, now will do 8 dropping pompadour in back"
 SIMPLICITY IS
 THE NEW KEYNOTE
 One of the most original and imaginative of Fifth Avenues hair stylists says: smoother, plainer, simpler coifs for everybody, how ever you wore your hair last year. This is must with those earnest hats, she insists persuasively.
 Under those hats, hair really has to be treated as part of the wom- ans anatomy" she remarks. You know, 1t often wasn't so, before. Now the hair can be combed back from the forehead, braided or rolled with out straining the hair or making too severe an effect, or released on top of the head-but, however it's han dled, it has to be compact and close | in front"
 In back-best of all, taper and cut the hair so that it can be brushed up or tucked under the hat.
 This expert illustrates with the new haircombs which are shown in the accompanying photos Tn both cases, the haircut is a matter of tapering all over the head, about | five inches long.
 It can be parted in the center in front, brushed up in back, and the side hair brushed up, loosely twist ed and then be released at the ends, atop the crown. This smooth browed, smooth-templed style goes under the hat nicely, and yet it looks quite gay worn for dressier occasions with bows above the ears.
 Another inspiration: part the hair across the crown, comb it back from the forehead in soft puff, braid it, and tuck up the braid with ends released softly. Comb the back hair smoothly and brush the ends to cluster of curls very low on the neck. These curls are swept up under the hat with one whoosh. The hat is set down in back, over the upped surls, then swept forward. When it comes off, the curls come down, still in order.
 The same hair may be done into braid or little chignon low on the neck, the stylist points out. What counts in every case is the individual handling of the hair to suit you and you alone. With those hats, more than ever, it's necessary for the woman to learn from an ex- pert stylist how to handle" her own hair.
 And that's the simple truth. If you put one of those stovepipes over 1941 pompadour and heavy curls-well, really, don't.
 Study your face and your hat. Look at all the photographs of hair styles, which are in change able and changing mood just now, and find one that suits you and your hat. Then adapt it. Go to a good stylist who will give you in- dividual attention and instruction. It does simplify matters.
