BUYING YOUR HAT.

When you are buying , one of your new season's hats, you must look to your coiffure. If you are going in for a new tricky chapcau, the coiffure has to be half of it. It must be a union. Parisian hairdressers are being warned that they had better take their cues from the new millinery modes, and that does mean something to the woman if she wants her head to look the money she is putting into the autumn chapeau. So when you go hat-shopping you had better have your hair dressed the way you are going to wear it. Or after your purchase, take your hat over to the hairdresser and ask what can be done about it. For this is how the welldressed head is going to be. Suppose you purchase a turban with a half-circle brim. Then you must, of course, have a crescent line to your coiffure; or, euppose you are going to wear a closefitting velvet turban tight over the right ear, the hair showing on the left side, must look like a eoft velvety texture and be waved in large, elegant waves; or may be, you are going to choose one of the new "gob" brims with a bow over the left eye. Just beneath that bow the hair needs a stiff curl. Cut out turbans, turned up brims, or one-sided effects in hats, give hair an additional prominence. Consequently, hair cannot bo considered a thing apart from the hat. Certain type hats will call for a sculptured hairdress to give the head a good outline. The hat and coiffure must look in love with, each other, so to speak.
