tor these occasions, but the French
teque. jauntily trimmed is the smart
thing. The toque of rough straw, with

bunch of leaves on a poppy, is what
fashionable women are going to wear
everywhere, especially with shirt waists,
" If you must wear an untrimmed
walking hat, wear the rough straw
Alpine with wide band. Be sure and get
one that is rather small, like the 'bikers'
adopt, or one that was the favorite walk
ing hat of the Czarina OF Russia when
she was lovely, unpretentious Alix of
Hesse."

men will adopt. The death of the sail

smarter shops, there is a conspicuous
absence of them from the counters.

The tilted chapeau is not becoming to
all faces and the worst policy in fashion
is to wear what is not becoming, be-
cause it is stylish. There is always a
happy medium. Try to get it and the
world will call you a well-dressed wo-
man.

flowers or ribbons are of a decided color,
the shirred lining can take that shade,

They rose high at the back where they

With this hat she wore a white canvas

White facings, either of silk, satin or

on the hot water in the bathroom and
soak in the hot bath until the drowsy
feeling comes, which will be within three
minutes; rub yourself briskly with a
coarse Turkish towel until the body is

A woman can be popular and yet dig
nified. Popularity with most women lies
in a spontaneous sympathy, tact and a
charm of manner, together with a knowl-
edge of what to say and how to say it. A
brilliant eonversationalist is not always a
good entertainer. One of the most charm
ing women of Boston's literary coterie has
little to say. but the winning domesticity,
