WOMAN’S PAGE Small-Brimmed Hats and Turbans BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. Tho cloche or small poke has taught older women a very impor- nt leesen in ‘the art of dressing becomingly. It has done much to wipe out an old prejudice. And the lesson is that the brimless hat, such as the toque or turbanm, is not the type of hat that may be worn with smart effect by the woman of Eray hairs and a wrinkle or two. Moreover, the slight brim, such as one finds in the cloche,” casts a shadow over the eyes and upper part of the face—a half-tone between the hat itself the face—and is far hetter for the older woman than the sharp-cut lines of the toque or tur- cloche | or so, whether sts for or not the another season women have at least discoy that u small-brimmed hat is| »dselection.

He meant that you were up-to-date; that you had pep; that you had zood, hard common sense: that you were square and honest, and loval and true, and to be depended.on. He meant that you would ‘stand up =nd fight the batlle of life instead of sitting down, and crying, and hanging on to anybody who would let you. 1 meant that you had the grit to carry on when things went agaifist you. He meant that you would be a good pal to the man you would marry, and that when he made mistakes you would never reproach him and say, “1 told - 50." He menat that you would never be puffed up by good fortune, nor too much cast down by bad; that you would never brag when you won, and never whine when you lost. That {s being a good sport.
