that really shows of the get-up At the
theater. for instance. and on any of the
many sitting down affairs a woman goes in
for. 1t Is better to have one gown and three
hats than the reverse. You are probably
making up your mind that hats cost so
much that three hats to one gown is not
going to be within any ordinary pocket
books reach Surely not II you get your
hats ready made. but you mustn't. You
must make them yourself, and here are
some rules to help you.
The amateurs hat is seldom large enough
In the crown, it seldom fits we'll and it
always has too much on 1t. Avoid these
faults and this one more: the amateurs
hat Is insecurity trimmed; mean the bows
wobble, the feathers don't seem to know
their own minds and the flowers are loose
In the wrong pace.
Now. having been told what not to do,
attend to the things you must do. First,
to trim a big hat. get 1t big enough in the
crown. Make sure which Is the front and
which the back, and put a mark to desig-
nate the exact front and the exact back.
For your first attempt you have selected
felt that does not need wiring about the
brim- The fewer irregularities you give the
brim the better. The bend upward just in
front that Is at present popular Is secured
by stitching the brim and the crown Of the
nat together very near the bottom one
stitch taken over and over and the end
carefully secured does the work. The ro-
settle or fancy pin under the brim Of such
hats against the hair Is to cover the stitch.
Now decide where you want your bow
Don't try the hat on; 1t is not to be tried
on till 1t Is all done. Having settled in
your mind where the bow will be, make 1t.
Bows are big and many looped. and the
loops stand independent and well clear Of
each other at the base. If your ribbon be
light. use white wire: IL dark, use black.
Tape wire Is best because you can stitch
through IL. Have lots of It, all smooth and
straight. Make the first loop of the wire,
pass the ribbon over the loop, making it
snugiy tight, then tie the ribbon and wire
round and round at the base with good
stout thread Wind this first loop till II
Is all solid. Make another loop from the
long end Of the wire. pass more ribbon over,
bind the new loops secure. and fasten the
two loops safely together. Allow little
length Of wire each time between the loops
10 that when all the loops are made they
viii be bound together to a solid stem of
the wire. Neither wire nor ribbon is to be

Current Tokens.
The gold coins of the United States, you
see, are the peoples money. Uncle Sam
issues them at his own expense, the yellow
metal in them being worth their face. But
the silver dollars and subsidiary pieces are
circulated by the government on its own
account, the profit on them being 70 its
own advantage. Intrinscally they are not
equal to their face value: in effect they are
merely tokens. the stamp OF the treasury
making them current Accordingly the
government feels Obliged to reSaeeR/ them
at any time without deduction. sc long as
they are in condition to be identified. In
a sense, they are obligations to paw 1t Is
quite otherwise with gold.
With gold coin there is a loss of no sma n
consequence by abrasion in bags at the
treasury. through rubbing against one an
other; but with silver, this damage is not
important enough for consideration. Bars
of pure silver-99-10O fine-are made at the
minis and sold to jewellers and other rner-
chants. not so much for their benefit as 10
save from destruction the coins. which
would otherwise be melted for use in the
arts. Coin silver is 90-1oO fine; sterling is
slightly better. or 925-1 600 fine-such being
the legal makeup of British silver pieces.
New Use Needed.
What silver most needs is the discovery
OF new industrial use for the metal. Con-
per has been thus saved, in a commercial
sense. recently. 1t was in the same fix a
