A becoming hat that harmonizes with the facial con tour and complexion o fthe wearer is the crowning feature of every com plete toilet. It is a deplorable fact that a large percentage of women are totally in capable of selecting a hat that will bring out the attractiveness of their features and it is Just ns striking a certainty that many a plain coun tenance blooms out under becoming headwear like a flower opening its petals to the sun. Every woman should know how to select hats that are suited to her individuality—hats that go well with her particular styles of coloring and mold of features, and, more than this, every woman should know how to construct her own hats. The woman who can make her own hats enjoys a distinct advantage. She not only knows what is becom ing to her, but she is enabled throußh her knowledge of millinery to have attractive headwear at a great sav ing of expense. Through a practical working knowledge of materials arid making, a woman can have three be coming. attractive hats lor the same price she would pay a milliner for one The Lincoln Correspondence Sschools course in Millinery, which was prepared by an expert of many years' experience in conducting one of the world's best known schools of millinery, teaches the woman in the home how to plan and construct her own hats at a saving of at least two-thirds the money she would spend in buying her headwear at the milliner's. Tliis course in Millinery is one ot the six courses Included in the op portunity/ now being offered sub scribers to this paper, particulars of which will be found elsewhere in this edition. It is a most practicable course, with all the unnecessary de tails and processes eliminated. The woman who is desirous of having more hats at less expense will find this course in Millinery an oppor tunity she cannot afford to neglect.
