This hab would look particularly well worn wibh a dark red jacket, trimmed with black Astrachan.' Grey felts, with grey fur and velvet, make up very prettily in this shape; but, whatever the colour or material, the wearers mu3t bo very careful in arranging these hats. If they are to be becoming they must be worn well up on the hair (which should be loosely dressed at the back high up). This applies to all the low hats now in vogue, bub more especi ally for this particular shape, for, if worn low down on tho forehead, the effecb is ex tremely ugly and unbecoming. Again, I must remark that tho French trim their hats to suit the particular stylo of face of the wearer, and do nob blindly dress themselves, according to the prevail ing fashion, regardless of tho fact that what is becomiug to one person looks per fectly hideous on another. Yet a lady who wears no fringe, dons one of these plateau hats, with a blind conviction that if it is the most correct style for this winter, then ib must suib her. Yeb there are many other pretty and fashionable shapes, sketches of which I will send you, so that there is no excuse for such unbecoming conduct. The Princess of Wales and her daughters always adopt, from the various new ideas, what they know will be in accordance with their style of beauty.
