CHOOSING HATS.

A FEW HINTS. Hats are of immense importance; they should be chosen with a dress, if possible, and should be tried on. both sitting at a mirror and standing up, so that, a full-length impression is obtained, writes Gladys Cooper, in an English paper. “I try to plan my hats With my dresses, and 1 don’t think I ever buy an ‘odd’ hat. Here are a few points about hats: Judge if the size of vour hat suits the dress you intend to wear with it. For instance, never wear a big hat with a coat and skirt, or a fur coat. Try to have at least one liat for every two dresses. Choose a hat that tones equally well with more than one dress; let the felt or 'other material match one dress; let the ribbon match another, and the hat will look equally good with either. Always have one black hat in your wardrobe. Always have one wet-wea-ther hat, preferably a perfectly plain pull-on felt, rather like a man’s liat, that, can be turned down or rolled up from the eyes, just as it happened to suit, you best at the moment you put it on. This liat should match or tone with your waterproof coat. Do not be persuaded to have a hat that is too large in the head for you; most readymade hats are. I would strongly advise every girl to have fewer hats and pay more for them; she will benefit in tlie end.
