Bui cheerfulness on that score is becoming increasingly difficult when one sees the hats they are wearing to-day. A little while ago there seemed a gleam of something better when the big hat, with curves in it, ‘ returned to give what nearly rill faces need—a soft and shadowy Setting. But the big hat: has apparently come unstuck; and to-day a walk in the streets or lunch at a restaurant is Sjioiled by the straight, hard j unrelieved, close-pressed line that is slashed across their foreheads by the present style of women’s hats. It is a merciless line; and the only reason why every woman is submitting to it is that it suits one in a million of tht! girls of seventeen. And even * she wOtjld look better in almost ♦anything else. —London .Daily Express.
