THE HAT
CAN BE MADE CHARMING
There is much that can be charming about a hat. provided you put it or well and do it justice. Unless you arc wearing the kindest of hats you mus! play up to it a iittle. Wear it only with the right dress. It must always be in character and in perfect harmony with the rest of your outfit. Not only in colour —a contrast can. of course, be perfect—but in feeling and type. And what a lot of difference there is in the way you put it on! The same hat on a< woman who is chic by nature and on one who maltreats it —why. they re two different things.
If you can’t afford a new dress, get yourself a new hat. Make it the focal point of the whole ensemble. Il is the most economical and possibly the most cheering way of dolling up the shop window.
Gn thing emerges from the fashions. Women remain uninfluenced by the contemporary male headwear —tin hats and the like. Hats are more frivolous than ever, possibly' to cheer everyone up a little. A gay hat can be an antidote to gloom. A kind hat can save you from despair when you’re feeling and perhaps looking your worst.
