WHEN THE HAT DOES NOT FIT

Illy Adjusted Headgear Furnishes Enough Discomfort to Make a Woman Look Her Worst If you can help it, never go out wearing a hat which does not fit the head. There is enough discomfort in it, observes a fashion writer, to to make any woman- look her worst When we met Eloise the other day her face wjis so full of distress we asked anxiously If, she' were 111, or worried; or only tired. “None of those things,” she exclaimed, tragically, “but I’ve a hat on that seems to stand up and caper over my head, instead of sitting there decently and in order. Hurt, of course it does; hurts my- head and my vanity —to say nothing of the wear and tear on my temper.” Surely nothing could be more smart and yet more conservative in every detail than a semi-tallored hat of tobacco-brown velvet. This simple, round shape is effectively trimmed with a tan-colored quill placed around the crown of the hat, and above this is arranged a band of French squirrel feather edge in the same coloring as ‘file quill and hat. This softens the line of the hat and really adds to the practicality of the trimming.
