Each "model" ,vore her own product, and it was judged not only by style, texture and co l or, but also by its appropriateness for "the oc--.;a:,;:ion on \\-hich it ,vas to be ·worn." A parti cu l a r point was th e "be-comingness," for the girls \Vho were judging acted on the principle that "a hat must look ./better on the head than off." If the wearer had a pug nose, or a pointed chin, a fat face or a thin one, a l l this had to b e taken account of in the mode , and the hat was judged as to whether it was suitable for her to wear. The girl s had also each made a dress, with which the hat was to com -plete the costume. Th e high es t mark, "E," was given by the Judges to two models, a black draped b e ret, in the center above, ereat<>d by Mi ss Christine llfrC'oy oJ' Golconda, Tfl .. and a nothH hat In black fa.ill<', a.long tnilored lines. the \<\~ork of Mis~ .LJclta Neun1an of T ex-Underwood as, the president of this year's sen-ior c l ass.
