SOME OF THE NEW HATS,
Tulle is Used for Trimming and, OF
Course, Flowers Are Plentiful.

course, Flowers Are PLENTIFUL.
There are plenty Of picture hats among
the new styles, and the tulle ties and loops
come in nicely as artistic additions to the
costume. You can have tulle ties on any
kind of hat. 1t is not necessary to have
a bonnet to put them on. Green and violet
tulle are the prettiest colors. An exquisite
little hat is made of yellow straw-straws,
I was going to say, for the hat is a pecu-
liar arrangement of little straws, set side
by side. with a violet at the end. forming
an edge Of violets all around the brim.
Tulle loops almost conceal the crown. An
other dream dream seems an especially
appropriate term for a tulle haD has a
combination Of two shades of green tulle.
There is absolutely nothing on the hat-a
round, black straw-but some stand-up
frills of light and dark green tulle around
the crown. Almost anybody can have hat
like this. All that Is necessary to do Is to
buy an untrimmed hat and cover it over
with tule A flower or two to stand up at
the back or at the left side of the front is
great addition. The tule ties are knotted
in large bow under the chin. Flowers I'M
derneath the brim are set at the back,
where most of the hats turn up. In the
case of nose hats" that tip down over the
face, the brim Is not always bent up at the
back, but instead the whole hat Is propped
up, as it were, with bank Of flowers and
ribbon. Small button roses are very pretty
for the bandeaux under the brim. A hat
that made its first appearance on Easter
Sunday had Dresden silk Tam OShanter
crown with aigrettes standing up in front,
and a spray of pink button roses at the
back both above and underneath the brim.
Small pink roses form a pretty crown for
young girls hat / saw one in church
last Sunday. It had a fine brown straw
brim and no trimming except some lily of
the valley leaves to give height to the wear
er. While the service was going on, the sun
kept rising higher until just at noon a ray
of light struck through a window some
where in the dome of the church and shone
down upon that pink rose crown, fairly
clarifying 1t with light.
Flower hats are fashic nable for women of
all ages. A violet bonnet is suitable for an
elderly lady with white hair, but made in
another shape it BELTS a golden-h haired
lsssie quite as well.

American Odd Fellow ship was born in a
moment of Inspiration seventy-seven years
ago. 1t was the thought of Thomas Wild
ey, who was neither high born nor literally
educated, but a hard-fsted, simple-minded
but honest mechanic. The order has ever
since labored increasingly to promote the
welfare OF humanity, to dissipate the preju-
dices of society against what might be
termed semi-secret associations, to elevate
the intellectual standing and self-reliance
of its members and Undue them with the
sLnobling principle of benevolence, brother
ly regard and mutual assistance in times of
need, sickness and distress, and has there

An elderly lady wore a bonnet of Jet and
the other hats were tilted up at the back

better than the fashion of last year, which

all, be benefit to our compilations, though

THE NEW VEIL.
1t Is Heavily Dotted and the Mesh is
Very Sheer.

Very Sheer.
From Harper's Bazaar.
Now that the fiat has gone forth that we
are to wear our hats tilted far forward, SO
far tibet they almost rest on the bridge of
the nose, new mesh Of yelling has ap-
peared. or course, 1t is dotted yelling, and
the dots are CT abnormal size and so close
together that the oculists and opticians
may safely count upon large accession
Of income during the next year.
The mesh that shows between the dots is
very sheer. and it must be admitted these
wells are becoming, particularly to middle
aged women. who with the immense wide
brim hats and one of these wells, look at
least ten years younger.
Ihere are some conservative women who
find fault with these wells, and complain
that they give fast look that Is not, &C
cordlng to refined ideas, quite good form.
STILL the smart women in society have
adopted the fashion, and for the present, at
all events we must wear them.
With bonnets and small hats a more
sheer, less heavily dotted veil is allowable,
and there are even some clear meshes with
out any dot whatever. These last ones,
when becoming, are far the best to wear.
for they do not injure the eyesight and
are far less expensive.
Very few colored wells are worn; when
solid colors-that is. in chiffon-are worn.
there Is a small dot of the same color WOW
to be seen Wells. black, with fancy dots.
trimmed around the edges with white
Valenciennes lace. This Is becoming
fashion. but Is not considered so smart as
the all-black.
Wells are worn shorter than they were,
only just reaching to the chin, and are tied
up on the hat not at the back of the hair.
This Is much more becoming, as it pre-
vents the folds that are so apt to occur,
end which are so unbeconing. With the
broad-trimmed hats 1t is comparatively
easy to arrange the veils but with a small
bat or bonret it is always necessary to put
In double pleat in front, little fullness,
to prevent too much strain across the
nose and eyelashes. The most beautiful
woman in the world would look like
fright with her nose tied down and her
eyelashes sticking through the meshes of
her veil.
Elderly women with gray hair have
adopted clever scheme to keep their
front locks In order when they do not care
to wear veil which hurts the eyes. They
tie piece Of soft gray, almost white tulle
over the front hair, and fasten 1t at the
back under their bonnet. The tulle is so
fine 1t scarcely shows at all.
If care is taken to fold up a veil every
time it is worn it will last much longer.
1t should be carefully pulled out then
smoothed and folded away in a sachet. Just
faint trace of perfume is peculiarly
dainty about a VEIL and can be best secur-
ed by always keeping it in the sachet when
ever 1t is not in use

In the District of Columbia.

The order was established in the District
of Columbia on November 26. 1927, when
Central Lodge, No. l, was instituted. One
year later, November "a, 1898, the Grand
Lodge of the District of Columbia came
into existence. In January, 1884, Column
han Encampment was instituted, and on
April D. 1916, the Grand Encampment of
the District of Colombia was organized at
Alexandria, Va, then part of the District
of Columbia. Georgetown Lodge, No. =,
was instituted January Is, 1S2S. Since the
organization Of the Grand Lodge in 1923

Pensive PencilinEs.

From the Somerville Journal.
It has been observed that the man who
likes to entertain his wife with reminis-
cences of his early love affairs seldom likes
to have his wife reciprocate.
How gratifying it would be If the man
who had fine voice thirty or forty years
ago would only be contented with the recol-
lection!
When a man takes 800 bill to the bank
to get 1t changed why should he try to look
as if he was accustomed to doing the same
thing every other day?
A Chicago girl IS never so happy as when
she is wearing dress with long train. 1t
is a delight to the observer to see how skill
fully she draws it around in front to cover
up her feet.
Speaking Of rules for letter writing, one
good rule is never to write letter when you

How Nails Are Named.

Two accounts are.slven Of the origin of
the terms "six-penny,', "eight-penny." "ten-
penny" and SO on. asiapplied to the various
sizes of nails According to one statement,
when nails were made by hand, the penny
was taken as standard of weight and six
were made to equalsthe weight Of copper
penny. This explanation is open to criticism
on account of the very small size of the
nails of which six were needed to balance
even the large-sized, old-fashioned copper
penny. The other is much more probable.
1t afflrms that six were sold for a penny, and
the name grew into use, even when the price
changed, and the larger kinds were, from
popular mistake, called ten-penny. and so
on. without regard p Sze or weight. OF the
the pound; Of the eiSht-penny there are
fifty; ten-penny, thirty-four; twelve-penny,
thirty-nine.
