Show aa ION n choos ng hats if a woman has sharp or prominent features let her avoid hits that are set back or off the face such a woman should wear a hat brought well forward and hair should be as ab fluffy as possible and a becoming veil will do wonders sharp outlines in hats should also be avoided by her lace edges and indented trims are good it if the features are irregular a hat with the brim crushed here and there Is usually a suitable setting the tue woman with a prominent nose has much to contend with mith her bats hats should avoid in outline and should be set well forward so that the prominent feature will appear a less in size on the other hand the woman oman with a small or flat nose should not wear a bat hat that projects sufficiently to mal mate male e the nose appear even more insignificant nor a large hat that dwarfs it A hat under medium in size and with small flowers or 0 r short tips or rows of moderate size should be worn with a small face and features huge

white waist as the dominant third of the three piece suit fashion has tailed failed to 0 o ml fill its place with the waist of lace or chiffon or crepe de chine exactly matching the color of the suit the lingerie waist Is preferred to that of silk or satin it is a lingerie waist that differs markedly from its pre decess ors of last season it shows far less fullness and has scarcely a sug of blou siness the woman of full figure wears her blouse drawn down into the belt or girdle quite trimly while she of more girlish lines has its scant fullness shirred into the belt in a manner that suggests

a well fitting lining but trims and drapes and adds the accessories without ant aid but her own ingenuity the amateur ally buys a pattern and Js Is afraid to altar it by so much as a hair s breadth for or fear the result will not be satis factory this tear fear of being original is s what makes so many garments have the home made look and it should be by the worker m trying her band hand at making a garment after her own ideas using at first some cheap material easy to handle which if it Is spoiled will count for just so much gained in tead stead off 02 being a total loss money will be
