To listen to young men diseuseing the dress and general appearance "of the girls of to-day is quite am education in taste. I have often gathered very valuable hints in his Way says a correspondent, of =the London "Daily News" ' and "occasionally their worldly-wise criticisms have proved really Tue "One-in-Twenty" Girt.
Last week, for instance, I heard bright young fellow commenting on the sad difference between the charm of summer and winter girls. "Just notice them in the park on sunny day," he said, "they are mostly worth looking at then, But go there when there is a nip of "frost in the air, and only one girl 90—if that—will look the least bit attractive, though now I come to think of it, I believe it is often the hats that are wrong more than the girls themselves."
In that last sentence lies a mine of wisdom. T had not realized it before, but it is certainly true that the average girl does not choose nearly such becoming hats in the summer. It is far easier to look nice on a bright, warm day, but for that very reason extra caro must be given to the choice of a hat for cold weather.

Generally speaking, a snug appearance should be aimed at rather than a picturesque one. The large-brimmed hat—should avoided, and equally so should the no brimmed one, except for girls who do not feel the cold, and so do not get that ugly pinched look an east wind invariably gives. A hat fitting well on the head, with a small brim that makes a picturesque frame to the face, will be found mos" generally becoming for wear on a cold windy day. The actual shape and size of the brim, of course, depends entirely on the face of the wearer, Tue Dost-rirtine Veit Returns.
Veils, again, form another important part of @ cold day hat. The floating veil looks—most attractive when arranged well, but a high wind blowing it all about your face makes it anything but becoming. Close fitting veils are being worn with a number of the new hats this season, and I most certainly recommend them for com fort and appearance on cold windy days.
