Now l-.arty Fashion has a new whim; she prattles of' jrrace. simplicity, and shapeliness, and while the whim In not more than a panging vagary, women should make the most of it. For once then to be fashionable is to Ixi artistic and only vulvar excess can spoil the charming styles In headwenr that are ours to choose from. The first req uisite for a perfect modern headdrea Is a correct carriage of t lie head, a pose that accentuates the long, graceful line of the throat, flowing into well moulded shoulders. Faalilon demands that the coiffure j simple. There are no more formal puffs, no heavy and hot supports for the pompadour. There are innumerable styles in coiffures, but all of them are characterised by sim plicity and shapeliness. The shape of the head Is everywhere emphasised, consequently coiffures convey an Impression of firmness and solidity, for one of the characteristics of the summer colffura la Its compant neatness. A great milliner whose charges are exorbitant ex cuses the prices she puts upon her wares by' callliu her customers' attention to the becoming qualities of hats she sells them. Indiscriminate fancy is not allowed-full rein In her simp. She Is adamant when a hat Is pralseu and coveted, unleas It be Just the rlght one for her customer. t Is a point of honor, with " her to study eai-h customer's countenance, and take Into careful consideration her physique and even her height before she parts with a hat. Some faces look pretty with any kind of a hat above them. It is difficult to define this type of face. J'er hnps the neatest description of It Is the one that has no specially well accentuated feature or peculiarity of contour.' It Is not a particularly round face or a particularly fat face, nor a thin face or an oval face, not a face with a pointed chin, nor a face with tiny eyes, nor yet larRe ones. It is an average face, sweet, refined, and charming lo behold, with eyes fnll of expression. The possessor of such a face, providing she Is young, can wear even the atrocious Kobin Hood hats and et not look as If she were boiind for a masquerade.

A circular turban Is uiiund to emphasize roundneai of face and a small cap makes Its wearer look like a monkey. If the effect of a large hat is tried, a large hat with a big brim sweeping obliquely above the fMce. the effect will be most charming and a great Improve ment to the general appearance. . A pointed chin, too, must be taken into considera tion when one Is choosing a hat. It will be found, that a model that falls well over the brows Is becoming to this type of face, particularly so If the eyes are good. There are delicate faces that offer a great perplexity to the milliner. A wistful countenance with an ap pealing prattiness, the face rather small and the eyes not large, requires careful consideration In the matter of hat buying. Millinery of a nondescript sort will not suit, that's certain. It would make this type of face uninterest ing looking and commopplac. ' What Is wanted Is a hat that will not overpower the delicate features alto gether, but that will look a trifle daring. Small eyes . always appear larger If they are overshadowed by a rather closeflttlng brim. The tiny countenance will he less tiny if the crown of the hat be high, and should there be any harshness of outline or a pinched look that Indicate ill health or recent sickness, then avoid the -heavy stiff straws.

The owner of a pointed chin is deprived of the pleasure of wearing a conical turban, a fad that ne-d not diwoncert her, however, for there are many older becoming models that may be hers, t'olor is alsoi an important consideration In the pur chase of millinery. There ara two colors that aie stiongly featured this M-ason in millinery, and that must be purchased with caution; papal purple and the coral pinks. Most of the purple and coral pink straw hats are In the Kohln Hood sha-s and are mui like the veloi.r ones we wore this winter, and thera are designs of these native tdiape In thin and thick black straw, with a rosette of sailu or velvet from which springs a Mephisto feather.
