FALL HATS.
Late Styles Show a Tendency to Increased
Size.

Late Styles Show a Tendency to Increased
1t sounds odd to say that the novel
feature of round hats is that they have
crowns. But this is true, as the mere
plateauX-fiats pinched into shape
worn during the summer are to be
superseded by hats that have distinct
crown. And such crowns, of such alb
surd and diverse shapes! Some are not
larger than biscuit, and are shaped
like door-knob. Others are pointed
in tiny tent shape, or like cones or
mushrooms or sugar-loaves, but none
are more than two or three inches high,
and all have their queer shape hidden,
as they are merely support for trim
ming. Open-patterned, cone-like crowns
OF jet, or of gold, are on Rebaux's hand
soonest hats. Simpler hats have broad
crowns only an inch high, like the PAN
cake crowns of the summer. These are
expected to succeed sailor hats. They
have a slightly waved brim, with a
bow underneath, and ruche of lace or
ribbon, or a band of ribbon surrounds
the crown. There is decided fancy
for stiff straight brims without the
crinkle that has become common, yet
many are pointed, or slightly indented,
or curled up all around the edge, and
most have room for bow inside, next
the hair. The back of the brim is
either very narrow, or else it is turned
up close against the crown. The trim
ming is bunch of high plumage at
the back, or some loops of wide ribbon
in front, with wings pointing toward
the back. The first hats brought out
were of medium size, but later importa-
tions show tendency to increased size.

Economy of Strength,

We who are wise will recognize our
limitations. Instead of vainly striving
to make our strength equal to the de-
mands we make upon it, we will ar
range our living on simpler lines and
cut down our requirements. The moth
er who has six children can not do as
much for each of them as the mother of
two does for hers 1t is physically inn
possible; and instead of worrying over
it she must accept it as law of nature.
The same rule holds good with many
other things People with small in
comes and small houses can not expect
to keep pace with those of larger means
and more luxurious abodes No ex-
penditure of nerve force will enable us
to do it comfortably. Instead of wear
ing ourselves out in the vain attempt,
let us turn our attention to making oui-
selves happy with what we have and
save our nervous system strain it can
not bear.-Ladies' Home Journal.

In the line of fixing over old dresses,

have an ancient wool frock to remodel,
buy some velveteen or silk to go with

to buy standard rather than those col

rhe Great Secret of Prosperity Among
Farmers.
One sure and certain remedy for hard
lines is in always having something to
sell, and this something, whatever it
nay be, of such quality as to readily
command fair price. 1t is fact
worthy of serious consideration that
yhe most persistent croalxers about hard
,imes are those who lack in industry,
good management, good breeding, and
m many cases, sound integrity. They
make no special effort to obtain the
pest results, make few intelligent ex-
oeriments, take no --'stock" in the
experiments of others, no differ
snce how favorable the results,
but continue in the old ruts
to satisfy their vanity. 1t is well
to be on the watch when purchasing of
such person, for the largest apples are
sure to be on top and the best grain
used as sample. Because merchants
deal in inferior goods is no excuse for
farmers doing the same.
While using care in marketing, it is
also well to provide q variety. 1t is
true, special farming has many advo-
Gates, and many good advantages can
be presented in its behalf, but the most
successful advocates of special farming
are those who enjoy special markets for
the articles they produce. AS q rule,
those who are not so situated as to avail
themselves of special marketing advan.
tages will find it to their advantage to
engage in general farming, thus being
enabled to meet demand in any line
of their production.
BY general farming is meant not only
the production of the various grains
and vegetables, but in the raising OF
several kinds OF stock and in the cul.
ture of various kinds of fruits and Der
ries. The general farmer will thus
have at any season of the year some
article of his production that may be
placed upon the market. Having ar

Light Decorations.

French lace in frills and flounces, silk
net and chiffon, are all used upon black
silk gowns intended either for evening
or "at home" wear; an air of elabora-
ton is given by such trimmings, and
they really look little more rich than
trimmings that are very much more ex-
pensive. If chiffon is chosen, the black
embroidered is usually given the prefer
ence, as,the perfectly plain is too apt
to give look of mourning to the cos
tune. The lace founce is pretty and
graceful, and though it has been used
in rather silly way during the past
