FREAK HATS ARE BANISHED

New Btyles Show Designs Really Likable and Wearable, Though Much Depends on Adjustment. There is a certain reasonableness in the new hats which at once strikes the customer. The freakish styles have been banished, and in their places there is* an array of really likable and wearable hats. These hats sit squarely on the head, and one can see a friend a few yards distant, instead of being compelled to peep under a brim which completely envelops the wearer. The hair is permitted to show itself, and thus add a softening frame to the face, and the crown of the hat is directly over the crown of the head. The wearer gives to the hat the little individual touches as sb% adjusts it. There are women who can make almost any hat becoming by the way they wear it, while other women never ■eem to place the hat the right angle. This knack of adjusting a hat is born , in some women, while others must acquire it, but it is well worth striving for, even if the results always look studied. I It is particularly to be desired this season, for the style of many of the new hats depends largely on the angle at which they are adjusted.
